Mike Marriott. The ‘JG’ is a Jerry Glover or Grover. I'm not sure about
the surname. The grey cells fail me on this one. He was a studio technician.”
It was Jerry Grover. In February 2009 he wrote to The Pirate Radio Hall Of Fame:
“I am the Jerry Grover mentioned (on your web site) and I recognise my initials with the characteristic
three full stops. It's amazing to see that this document has survived for so long. I joined Caroline North in June
1964, shortly after leaving the BBC where I had started my engineering training. I left in January 1965 after an
acrimonious dispute over some expenses that were owed to me! I thoroughly enjoyed my brief career in offshore
broadcasting. I went on to work for Piccadilly Radio in Manchester for 16½ years, then I went back to the BBC and
ended my working life at BBC local radio in Manchester (then Greater Manchester Radio and now renamed Radio
Manchester). I have been retired for 8 years, and it sure beats working!” Our grateful thanks to Jerry for
getting in touch.
