A question to Ancient Mariner

Hi I wonder if you or anyone else who reads this has a list of medium wave radio stations from any time between 1970 to 1977  thanks in advance Kelly x
  • Hi Kelly


    The first one which came to mind was Radio Luxembourg on 208 metres which was 1439 kHz until 1978 when it changed to 1440 kHz


    BBC Frequencies Listed in my 1979 Admiralty List of Radio Signals as Radio 4. (Radio 2 in those days was on 200 kHz, now Radio 4 on 198 kHz)

    809 kHz Scottish

    1340 kHz N.Ireland

    908 kHz South East

    1088 kHz Midland

    692 kHz & 1151 kHz North

    1052 kHz & 1457 kHz  West

    881 kHz Wales

    908 kHz & 1484 kHz London


    Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_radio_in_the_United_Kingdom


    Hope the above helps.
  • That's great thanks do u have any record of a Bulgarian station called stars zag zagora on about 1400 KC?
  • I was an Atlantic 252 listener and listened to it whilst decorating the kids bedrooms many years ago. No streaming then, you either bought a hard copy or listened to what was on the radio.

  • Fab 208 .. your royal ruler Tony Prince from the Royal Duchy.. interrupted by ads for  Cedarwood aftershave ... sound of a felled tree
  • I remember and loved both those stations such a shame they are gone

  • It seems there a lot of buried copper under the old Atlantic 252 transmitter.

    The one local to me at Droitwich is on a salt pan which I gather serves the same purpose.

  • Did Atlantic 252 feature Scotty McClew?
  • A taste of nostalgia, currently transmitting, perhaps only part time.


    Radio Caroline 648 A.M. around Essex and Suffolk, Globally via the internet. Locally on D.A.B.

  • It’s not really the same over the internet.


    I know I have said before of this forum, some years ago I worked at a Herefordshire farmhouse with an impressive radio shack in the study, the lady said her husband really contacted farmers in distant places, when I said he could Skype them she told me to wash my mouth out with soap and water.
