Pirate Radio Archive streaming 24-Dec to 2-Jan


The Irish pirate radio audio archive and oral history about the Irish pirate radio era has been streaming from 24 December at http://pirate.ie/archive/dec-24th-jan-2nd-streaming-live-online/  including interviews from the pirate.ie meet-up at the Ballsbridge Hotel, Dublin in October which commemorated 30th Anniversary of the end of Irish pirate era on 31st December 1988. There is also material available on demand. I particularly liked the 16-minute interview with "Bill Ebril transmitter man" about building MW transmitters for Irish pirate stations from 1970+ : http://pirate.ie/archive/interview-bill-ebril-transmitter-man
The streaming is scheduled until 2nd January. Great memories - I used to listen to MW Irish pirates across the water in Lancashire in the 1970s and 1980s. 73, (Alan Pennington, Dec 27, bdxc-news iog via DXLD)
