| 1981_03_22_sun_dublin_6910sw_1400-1417_station_news_shaywest-gh.mp3 New Jul 2022 | 20 minutes from the shortwave outlet of Radio Dublin which had recently moved to the unusual 6910kHz as recorded in Leeds. Previously they had used 6240kHz and 6290kHz. The station stayed on 6910kHz until legislation. The shortwave audio was much louder and clearer in the early days, if somewhat over modulated. It became a little muffled in later years. This recording is the end of station news on a Sunday, and then Shay West comes back to apologise for lack of time for requests. The name of the lady presenter following Shay is not known. |

| 1982_08_14_sat_dublin_1188am_1120-1255_piakinsella-gh428.mp3 New Oct 2021 | A Saturday morning programme from Pia Kinsella (we believe), including the top 40 from 1130am. Pia was broadcasting live from the Dublin Bazaar in Thomas Street, with Gerry Marsden controlling things back in the main studio. Recorded near Blackpool from 1188kHz. The signal was strong, but the modulation at this time was a little distorted and with a hum at times, but this could have been due to the fact it was a live 'outside' broadcast. There is also a bit of splatter from Telstar on 1197kHz. |

Most of the station staff were at the birthday celebration in the 'Television Club' leaving just one or two manning the station. The recording is slightly airchecked, and was made in the centre of Dubln from 91MHz in mono. This was also being relayed on the main Radio Dublin 253m / 1188kHz outlet. John Hughes was back after Ger, and followed at 10pm with the first link of James Stewart and the rock show. |
