| 1982_07_28_wed_west_925fm_2308-2355-gh108.mp3 New Dec 2023 | A late night show from an unknown presenter on Wednesday 28th July 1982. The recording was made in Mullingar from 92.5MHz FM in mono, and mention is made that the station was on 1071kHz / 290m medium wave and would soon be on FM. So presumably this was received on an early FM test, and the levels were a bit variable. |

| 1982_12_18_sat_west_1071am_1330-1435_chrisjennings-gh444.mp3 New Nov 2024 | Saturday afternoon 18th December 1982. The recording starts around 1:30pm with Chris Jennings. He was certainly playing some rock and unusually long records for daytime radio. As received near Blackpool on 1071kHz, announced as 290m. Signal was pretty good considering how far inland Mullingar is, with just some local power line noise and clicks and as it is winter the foreign station causes some afternoon wobbling towards the end. |
