Telstar 1 broadcast rock music on 235m / 1277kHz to North London from late 1977 to 1978 and sometimes put in long hours overnight.
When they initially started there was an issue over the frequency as both East London Radio and Celebration Radio also had used the channel.
This was apparently sorted and ELR went on to use 1511kHz, whilst Celebration moved up to 1286kHz.

1977_10_15_sun_telstar1_1278am_1330-1440_bear_airchecks-ghe187.mp3 New Dec 2024 A partially airchecked show from Bear as received on Sunday 15th October 1977. Mention is made of a rival pulling down their aerial and address and telephone number are given out. The location of the recording from 235m is not known and the tape was not the best quality, hence it is a bit muffled. There was also a heterodyne creeping in at the end, which we have tried to filter out. 55MB
