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,
