Yes BigAl - its a nother great station playing great music from the past - thanks to my friend who always sends me these LINKs but we have sooo many i-net stations now - all playing great music - I think in the meanwhile I have bookmarked more than hundred - not knowing if they all still exist. But to be honest - I miss the times when we had (luckily) 2 stations with good music over here in Munich (AFN and Radio Free Europe) and all the rest was up to my "technical" skills of building huge and long antennas in the attic or outside of the house to catch the pirates or Radio Luxembourg 208. In these times listening to the radio was still an adventure and you it gave you feelings of success in your tinkering... Its still in my blood when I listen to Gold on 1548 khz. (from London) which comes in pretty well over here in Munich during the night - stronger than last year. And also I really enjoy listening to all these original RNI-shows Robin Westhoff has posted on GS. - I think I have more recorded hours of original RNI (5 gbts) than I ever could listen to RNI in real time - being an hopeless romantic real radio for me still happens on the airwaves .....

I agree with you that radio now on the internet is far too easy to enjoy and In my mind too many of them playing the same music. Take the jingles away and you could be listening to any station in fact they sound like a DJ down the pub playing music for his mates or those sitting in the pub. If I do listen to internet only radio its only those in America with real radio voices, so many `so called` DJs here have such bland and boring voices that its enough to make me switch off.
Yes the news about Ronan is sad lets hope they can help him in some way.

Which shouldn't be a big problem for you with DVB-t today - except having a high mountain in betweein your UHF- roof-antenna and the Irish TV-transmitter over the sea - Its only 100 kms - thats nothing for an UHF- DVB-t signal having a more or less free sight

The old analogue transmisions were a doddle to pick up here in Holyhead and the out lying districts, my mate Nick lived by the Rugby pitch in Valley and could pick up RTE with an indoor aerial. My Brother could pick up RTE when he lived in Kingsland, but he lived at the top of the hill whereas I am at the foot of the hill and have Mynydd Twr between me and the TX as you rightly say.
