• Bob_Tomalski abstract "Bob Tomalski (7 February 1953 - 13 January 2001), was a "gadget guru", broadcaster, longtime proponent of radio broadcasting freedom and journalist.Bob Tomalski was a technology journalist: he founded Home Cinema Choice magazine and contributed to many other magazines on the subjects of TV, video, satellite TV, mobile phones and camcorders.He also appeared regularly on Sky News' weekly Technofile programme, reviewing gadgets for the viewers, alongside presenter Martin Stanford. He was also a regular contributor to Media Network, a communications magazine on the English service of Radio Netherlands.He started his broadcasting career on the London SW pirate scene of the 1970s, where he became best known as the host of Roger Tate's Mailbox Show on European Music Radio, later becoming a licenced amateur radio operator, with the call sign G6CQF.His maisonette in Mitcham, Surrey was equipped with a broadcast-quality mixing desk and 2 Nakamichi cassette decks, alongside the best turntables that a job in Unilet (allegedly the number one Hi-Fi store for miles) could buy. These were complemented by a collection of several thousand albums, mainly of his favourite genre, soul and funk, but topped up with many chart albums and a few hundred 60s and 70s rock platters. Bob was also a collector of state of the art video equipment. Bob was a co-founder of Wandle Valley Radio (WVR) in 1984, still under the pseudonym "Roger Tate", broadcasting a soul/funk/hi-energy programme (he was a friend of the hi-energy artist Hazell Dean) alongside Alan Rogers and Paul James (both pseudonyms for obvious reasons). He provided the studio facilities for the station, which was amongst the pioneers of microwave links from the studio to the FM Band II transmitter (a technology later very widely used in pirate radio). Another technology which Bob pioneered was that of computer data transmission via Band II FM radio - raw data transmitted onto the audio signal with no subcarrier: WVR featured the "Roger Tate Computer Program Programme" with Bob introducing (after the music had ended for the night) half an hour of 8-bit data sounds played from a Nakamichi cassette deck, representing programs for the BBC Micro and the Tandy TRS-80 microcomputers, among others. Surprisingly, for such an innovation being broadcast into listeners homes late at night, the telephone and postal feedback on the programme was overwhelmingly positive - a tribute to Bob's broadcasting skills.Bob's home studio was raided in the late eighties after some shenanigans on the amateur radio frequencies, and the Home Office even went as far as confiscating his electric kettle (as well as the studio gear) on the grounds that it was connected to the same ring main as his transmitting equipment.In his subsequent radio career, he was a regular contributor to You and Yours and The Big Byte on BBC Radio. He also broadcast for Radio Mercury and Radio Invicta (which also sparked the career of Steve Walsh), and was the resident 'Inspector Gadget' on the LBC Weekend Wireless Show, talking about the week's technology news, reviewing gadgets and answering listener queries.Bob is missed by many people in the London pirate radio scene, not least "Paul James" and "Alan Rogers".".
