Congratulations to Hal MacLean, Matthew Eaves and everyone at Chelmsford
Community Radio for achieving Ofcom commissioning yesterday on 104.4 - in
really quite awful weather conditions.

When we arrived on site to complete yesterday morning there was a 3cm layer
of solid frozen slush across the roof at 26m above ground making it perilous
to walk and absolutely impossible to work. Fortunately Essex County Hall has
an excellent top-floor restaurant open to anyone which gave us the time and
inspiration to make some useful progress. Our redoubtable Ofcom engineer
decided to brave the journey anyway despite accounts of a skating rink and
all went relatively smoothly

Especial thanks to the guys at Mitie - facilities management company for
Essex County Hall - for unswerving help and co-operation in difficult
conditions.

You are a shining example to - er - other organisations who have the same
responsibility. And we now have two clever young ladies who have become
proficient in the assembly of an Amphenol model 7860 slant-polarity antenna
- and also bringing pizza!
