Premier Radio began broadcasting from Dublin on both shortwave and medium wave during May 1976.  An early history of the station, (see below - click image for better resolution), was featured in FRC Newsletter Edition 4 from January 1977. The station was quiet from 1977 after the operators moved to other stations, but then returned in 1981, first on MW 222m and then SW 6218kHz.

Two 6218kHz QSL Cards from the same morning of 14th June 1981.
Ian's was for receiving Premier Radio Internationals in Scotland, and Stuart was listening in Nottinghamshire,
showing the signal was getting out over a good area.

Below is the letter Ian received with the QSL, which gives the latest history and station line-up.

Premier Radio International was one of only a few shortwave stations which appeared during 1989 following the legislation of December 1988.
This a QSL Card received by Ken for one of those transmissions, which was on a newer frequency of 6240kHz.
