TIME LINE OF ADDITIONS:
FEBRUARY 2010: It has been almost exactly two years since I did any work to the archive side of this web site. I have been exceptionally busy and distracted by the MW dx this last two seasons, leaving limited time for any other projects. Of course if time is spent on other things, the inspiration is not there to copy manky old tapes over to mp3. And if the inspiration is not there, it is better to postpone till the inspiration returns. Otherwise the end results will be somewhat less than the maximum standard possible. (In other words, mind not on the job = pigs ear of the job) I have been chasing through by boxes of old tapes again, looking for some clips of Radio Jackie, and I became engrossed in the amount of old NOVA tapes I have. So I thought that whatever the quality, I must start to archive them. I have seen some terrible buggering around with aerials etc during this latest phase of archiving. I had such an annoying habit of messing around with tuners, aerials, atu etc while the recordings were being made. NB: I am not spending endless hours archiving this material and uploading free for all, for some muppet to be found on e-bay flogging these recordings. Anyone seen at that will have a dummy purchase made, very negative feedback left and be immediately reported to ebay.
NOVEMBER 2008: The CDs
which were available through Tony Hudson's MEDIUMWAVERADIO web site
have been discontinued. The mediumwaveradio web site has been discontinued.
I did once have a CD page available for dial up users who couldn't download
the archives. Details were available here.. AUGUST 2008: Some of
the links to the Irish stations stopped working briefly, as the folder
layout was changed at the server. Hopefully the links should all be
working again. MAY 2008: Added over
1 gig new unique recordings of NOVA NIGHT NETWORK, and NOVA MW recordings,
and Atlantic 252 material. MARCH
2008:
Added some
other Irish material from years gone by. This is only the start to a
hopefully much larger archive.
Added some
MW recordings from both Radio Nova and Sunshine Radio from Dublin, and
some 70s recordings of Radio Caroline from the Mi Amigo. Also added some
unique Radio Scotland files. |
Welcome
to the download pages for those with broadband and fast connections. I
am lost for words at my own inexperience in those early days of collecting
and making recordings from the radio. I
also have an abundance of recordings made from a much worse and tinny
sounding communications receiver. It is not difficult to differentiate
between crap quality radios and good quality radios. But for whatever
inexperienced reasoning, this is just the way it is. Unfortunately we
can’t turn the clock back and re record the programmes. A tinny
recording is better by far, than no recording at all. NB:
These recordings are for sharing and enjoyment but are subject to copyright,
and are not for resale. |
