Tircoed, centre of the universe! Today, Radio lives on, in the car and in the workplace as background noise or something to kill time to. I later understood that this was the World's most powerfull radio transmitter. XRadio Luxembourg was in the 60's facing strong competition from the Pirate radio stations that broadcast from ships or marine forts out at sea, and this was the main reason behind the many experiments and upratings of transmitter power to improve the station's reception quality over England. I am trying to find out on what date in 1955 Jack Jackson played Unchained Melody. And we did, and enjoied the broadcast. I know Luxy from1974 It was fantastic os the radio from the other planet Remember the spring in 1977the first three were Sunny,ABBA and very sweet song Uncertain radio receiving was especially charming Sometimes was a success tu rekord new hits that were on hooligan wave 200m It was fine to lesten to"Maybe the morning"at dawn Checrfulvoices of Dgs from Radio Luxembourg will always remain in my memory. I`m living about 1000 km away from Luxembourg and the reception`s quality is sufficient. I remember as a teen being on several holidays with my parents . Box 115, Farley, Iowa 52046, U.S.A.
