| 1987_10_17_sat_midwest_fm_gerryglennon_1736-1820-gh033.mp3 New Jan 2023 | Saturday teatime 17th October 1987 with a presenter thought to be Gerry Glennon, who was hosting an interesting show with lots of phone calls with listeners. There was a 'radio hangman' competition with the deejay, and also a phone call from country music fans in Birmingham. Recorded from FM, but the actual frequency is not known, and the levels are a bit variable. |

| 1996_03_17_sun_midwest_11715sw_1200-1237_special_broadcast-gh866.mp3 New Jan 2024 | The legal Mid West Radio transmitted a special shortwave broadcast for St Patricks Day in 1996. Here is the sign on and first 35 minutes of that broadcast as received on the UK Lancashire coast on 11715kHz. The transmission was meant for listeners further afield than the UK, so the frequency chosen meant reception was not too clear and suffered from co-channel interference. |
