1981 VISIT TO RADIO SLIGO

Radio Sligo was a station that we discovered to be operating when we were in Co Rosscommon in 1981, It was never heard by any of us in the UK, and it is unknown if it was ever heard outside Ireland.

 

The neat studio, note the controls above the fader are cleverly covered.

 

An advert which appeared in a local newspaper about the charity event.

Recorded from 1260kHz with some crackling due to the distance from Sligo, this is Paul Martell, with later on, Elizabeth Burns reading poetry. The station announced as 237m. There were adverts for Paul Martell doing a charity broadcast Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd August. A newspaper advert regarding this can be seen on the Radio Sligo Home page.	89MB
