So who is Cubwolf?

Well my name is Dave Smith and i am a 41 year old married father of 4 and grandad to an ever growing tribe!

 I live in  Leicester which is in the middle in the UK.

I got the name Cubwolf a long time ago and its my handle or nickname from using CB radio. I got my first CB in 1980 when it was still illegal in the UK and then changed to the Legal version in 1981. I went on to become what is known as a Rig Doctor which basically means I fix peoples CB radios so I got to know and meet lots of people from the world of CB and if you are one of them why not get in touch and say hello?

Radio

I have always been fascinated by the medium of radio whether it be broadcasting or things like CB Radio. I did try my hand at running my own station from a garden shed with some degree of success. We used about 2 watts on 97.5 and called the station Radio Rupert as that was the name of an estate close to where I lived in Eyres Monsell. It was on air for about 3 months before some nice gentlemen from the Department of Trade and Industry's Radio Investigation department came knocking on the door with the police. An hour later and my shed was emptied of all the equipment by the nice men and a appearance in court led to me losing all the stuff and doing 80 hours community service which involved gardening which I hate!

Disco Dave

I then moved on to doing mobile discos with some success and worked for Double Deck Disco (Nice name eh). I had some great times doing that all over the country but got bored with going to so  many weddings and birthdays.

The radio bug never really went away though and I considered doing a bit of work on Hospital Radio but after having a look around one I thought against it. It just seemed to be a bit old fashioned for me so perhaps when I am older.

 I eventually saw an article in the local paper asking for people to help out with a legal radio project in Braunstone that were running a 28 day station or RSL. I went along and ended up doing some shows including the breakfast show on the 6 rsl broadcasts that they did!

HFM 102.3

I am now involved with a full time community station in Market Harborough which launched in February 2007. Its called HFM (www.harboroughfm.co.uk) and broadcasts on 102.3 FM and online.

I am currently doing a show weekdays between 10 and 1 and its great fun and such a lovely place to work and a great team.

Its radio just like it used to be with no playlists and a bit of personality!

Make sure you tune in!

Theme Parks

I love them!

Ever since we got a Merlin Annual Pass (Thanks Tesco) we have been riding coasters all over the place.

The one we spend the most time at is Alton Towers which a fantastic place to visit. We also like the ride selection at Thorpe Park in Chertsey.

Stealth is one of the best rides i have been on so far. Such a rush!
