Welcome
along to my little place in cyberspace.
So
who is Cubwolf?
Well
my name is Dave I am 39 and 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?
Oh and I am now a Granddad
twice over!
McKenzie
We have a grandson called
McKenzie He was born in September 2006 to my son Daniel and
Helen.
Emily Rebecca
The latest arrival is
Emily Rebecca who belongs to my daughter Vicky and her partner
Luke.
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 nice to be on a station that's not going
to go off air after 28 days!
If you happen to remember
me from the CB radio as Dave the Cubwolf from Leicester then please do get in touch.

Thanks for visiting and

things to the site whenever I get the time.
