At junior boarding school in the 1960's, older pupils set up the aptly named 'Radio Prison', & I followed with 'Radio 290' & 'Mike Tape Two'. I won't make this out to be more than it was - simply a couple of speakers in the hobbies room & common room fed by a collection of old bits of equipment - 2 x tape decks, 1 x record deck, 1 x microphone & a valve amplifier, but, it was another start to my radio hobby. Interestingly, I do remember having only one listener when I closed down 'Mike Tape Two', & that was because he had been 'grounded' & wasn't allowed out ! Perhaps this was a sign of things to come nearly 40 years later !
