@lpbkdotnet I just complimented you on something you then apologised for, you must be British or Canadian 😂.
I’d say maybe upgraded to an electronic exchange - timing is right - I am very very limited in knowledge here, but I’m aware of the switchover to System X in that period. Hoping the radio parts of fediverse might chip in on whether the radio station had any idea this was going on, or even any people who also called in, or whether the timing of the switchover to an electronic exchange triggers any memories for them.

@leymoo lol “sorry” 😂 a friend says: Capital Radio had a PABX 7, but phone-ins used a completely separate group of lines which were termed on Key and Lamp units (callers who actually got on air were called back on another group of lines). I can’t think how this would have worked on a normal KLU set-up. I also have a memory of some sort of late-night chatline which was “official” rather than being something discovered accidentally. But it was a long time ago
