When Mike Ham started Radio Garden State (RGS) on the Internet in the tradition of off-shore free-form pirate radio stations unencumbered by corporate dictates and dedicated to the proposition on keeping The Garden State LOUD, he didn’t even know if a year later he’d still be in business. That was July 1 of last year. Well, here we are and now he has a crew of 19 still cranking out Jersey noise 24/7 “and we’ve only just scratched the surface,” he tells us.
