IIRC, Meister and Bollier were involved as the telecomms guys brought in for a project setting up Big L's "Galaxy" as a German offshore station (but I don't know for whom). Then the German government passed their own Marine Offences Act and the original backers got cold feet and pulled out. The impression I got was that M&B realised money could be made so they set up their own station, originally the Mebo I until they found that was too small and then they converted the Mebo 2. But if that's what did happen then RNI 1970 wasn't exactly well planned from an advertising viewpoint - which is where the rumours started of the station being Stasi-funded. When RNI came back in 1971, they had the Dutch Basart company leasing the station.
