THE ULSTER HOSPITAL RADIO - A HISTORY OF THE EARLY YEARS

THE PATIO COURTYARD

There was an emegency escape ladder from the rear wall of our basement studio up to a window which led out onto a patio. This patio was a large paved area (with some flower beds) surrounded by the rest of the hospital wards which looked down on this area. Using the "Soobe" we were able to broadcast from here which meant ambulant patients could look out of their ward windows to watch us broadcasting and they also throw down notes with requests and messages. Live interactive broadcasting!
