After the switch goes to off, you feel a chill come over you as the valves are now cold and so are you. Steam Radio. Great times listening to the great sound of 208.

Empora Rosko did a show I seem to think. The sound up and down gave it a sort of at sea feeling. Pop music owes it alot.

After radio luxembourg gave up 208m mw,they carried on for a further year on astra 1A channel 13 in hifi quality PANDA1 stereo all over europe and worldwide on shortwave at various times on RTL's two shortwave outlets at junglinster using 6090khz in the 49m band at 50kW and 15350khz in the 19m band at 10kW,but even this couldnt save them and they closed down altogether back end of 92,shame really.

Radio Luxembourg this most good that was in 60-80 years. It remains for a long time good memoirs. I wish all D.J.s good luck and also to managers, producers, engineers and all who concerned this remarkable radio station.
