Left: A rare old photo of Captain Cooke, Debbie Moore, Doctor
Don, and Prince Terry (seated). For the record, Eamon is not a Captain,
Don Moore is not a Doctor, Prince Terry is not a Prince. However there
is a photo of a real Queen elsewhere on this site!! Answers on a postcard
to WMR etc...........
Right: Dr Don set himself on fire for publicity in the 70s.
An old Radio Dublin club card from 1977, from the collection of Gary
Hogg. Note how Radio Dublin used to also call themselves the Big D before
the split.
Download this lovely old Radio Dublin poster from the past, and
print in some of the photo shop programmes, or through Netscape for that
matter. It comes out nice in Paint Shop Pro 5. Stretch it to the full page,
and print. It will probably come out better than the old faded originals!!
Note this is from the mid 1970's, when they were on the air on 253m on
a Sunday, and on 227m late week nights!!! The image only file by the way,
is called "rdub1.jpg"
A Two Page History of Radio Dublin Compiled in 1976
(These two early history sheets brings the Radio Dublin story up to
the time when Sunday afternoons on 253m, and 227m on some evenings
were the only transmissions. Full time operation was still a long
way off. During this period, the station could normally be reached
through the FRC address of 90 Ranelagh, Dublin, as could Radio Westside,
Dr Don's station on shortwave)

The Three Page History of Radio Dublin Produced in
December 1977
(These three history sheets, signed at the end by 'The Captain' give
a more detailed account of the Radio Dublin story up just before the marathon
broadcast of Christmas 1977, which was to lead to full seven day
operation several week later. The station now not only had its own
mailing address of 20 Ranelagh, Dublin, but also advertised a telephone
number.)

How about this for a rarity in the 1970's free radio world. This image
was stamped on the envelopes sent out to listeners in the late 1970's.
Radio Dublin were obviously not frightened to advertise the fact that the
letter was coming from them.
