A LIST OF IRISH AM / MW RADIO STATIONS MAINLY OF THE 1980'S

Often we have been looking through the old log books and found dates and places worthy of note. But then the notes are lost or not even taken down, and thus forgotten about. On this page, you will find notes from the past, written in date order, in such a way that it may be of interest only to the writer. But incase it is found to be interesting to others, the page will be updated whenever anything of note is rediscovered.

Quite how this will look if and when the page gets busy. But we shall make a start in the usual small way.
