Apologies for bringing up an old thread but this is important.

Who was the chap that played music on channel 19 worked as a caretaker in a North London council estate where he lived and went by the name of Scott?

Perhaps somebody knew him?

Any information would be most helpful. Please PM me.

Thank you.

Have you finally plucked up the courage to go and shove his silver rod where the sun doesn't shine after all these years? ;)

He is back on the air pirating the 2/70 bands as M6FET. He must be very high up because he gets out for miles. There used to be a couple of people who I'd chat to on 70cms simplex but they are not there anymore because of him recording them then re transmitting it on other frequencies. He strikes me as a bit of a low life and spends his days beeping the 70cms repeaters. He was always causing trouble on CB threatening people and jamming channels playing music and even stalking people. Apparently he is a police informant now. His known as the ginger pirate from CB lives in Hackney North London and goes by the name of Scott. I too would like to know exactly where this person is. He has been P-ing off a few of us.
