1981 story
It always made me wonder who suggested frequencies to the stations in Eire. Few people had any real idea about the band at that time. I know in latter years, Anoraks UK and associates including ourselves, were asked to suggest good spots on the dial for various stations. DCR seemed to have splashed out and bought a substantial number of Tony Allen's famous long long type jingles. They announced as "Dublin's first independent local community broadcasting service", whatever that meant. They presumably did not see any of the other hobby pirates in the same light. The address of 20 Lower Grand Canal Street, Dublin 2 was the studio address." Not a whole lot more is really known about DCR, except that something in the old memory banks tells me that the station closed down when the students that ran the station went back to Uni or wherever, at the end of the summer.
