Radio Veronica 104.7FM
operated regularly for a number of years from the mid 1980s. It was first reported by Tim Jackson on 13th July
1986, but had been on the air since 1985, possibly on lower power. The station served South Liverpool on 104.7MHz, but could
quite often be
heard much further afield depending on activity on adjacent
frequencies. It initially operated on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
but later just on a Sunday. It was last believed reported heard in
February 1989. |
