Zeezenders The Offshore Radio Years volume 17

The Gardline Seeker was converted to become the radioship MV Communicator. Starting as Laser 730 with an unsuccessful balloon antenna, the station then, with a conventional antenna system became Laser 558, and an almost overnight success as "all Music radio" hit the European airwaves. The UK commercial radio stations were outraged, as was the government who eventually forced Laser 558 off the air - but not before Laser had forced change in UK radio.
