Radio Ormond operated from Nenagh, Co Tipperary for a few months during late 1983 and early 1984. Our only frequency logging was 98.5MHz whilst driving through Nenagh on Halloween in 1983. By 1984 it was broadcasting on announced frequencies of 89MHz and 99MHz. The station apparently then moved into Limerick and called itself Radio Phoenix. It was later heard under a number of other names. |
