GMKAT7 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Good afternoon Steamport, I had that song running through my head all the time we were in holiday in North Norfolk last October. Remebered from long ago on the radio (whatever Radio 2 was before it became R2). I didn't try singing it for fear of being lynched 😂 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which ran with the Home Service, now R4, and the 3rd Programme, now R3. Until the pirates, which were out of range in South Wales anyway, the only viable alternatives were Radio Luxemburg (208metres Medium Wave) and AFN Frankfurt, but that was pushing the range as well. There was no Welsh language station, but there was Welsh content on local Home Service. The Captain had a big old valve multiband set with Short Wave that could pick up all sorts of things, but you had to keep fine-tuning it or it drifted. I believe Luxemburg is still in business, doing mostly Gospel/Religious stuff. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the pirates, which were out of range in South Wales anyway, the only viable alternatives were Radio Luxemburg (208metres Medium Wave) and AFN Frankfurt, but that was pushing the range as well When I lived in Moseley (Birmingham) I had a radio with a long wire aerial down the length of the long garden. I could pick up American AM stations after the European's all closed down at night (no 24hr broadcasting in those days) Much better selection of pop music than 208 or the Beeb. It also meant I could receive the UK pirates well when they started up, I had found Caroline the day after it went on air and even taped some of the shows on ¼" tapes. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium J. S. Bach Posted June 4 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 4 (edited) When I lived in Baltimore, MD, I used to get a lot of clear-channel AM stations at night, a favorite was CKLW 800KC Windsor, Ont (the BIG 8) was a favorite. t Edited June 4 by J.

Radio 3, like the GWR, never changed its name or way of doing things after the Grouping, though recently they took custodianship of "Friday Night is Music Night" from Radio 2, due to the influx of superannuated Radio 1 hipsters moving from Radio 1 to Radio 2. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Could be something to do with similarities between the contents of their accounting systems and his, if he gets into the white house, there's less likelihood of people peering at their's. 🙃 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
