I used to share a room with my brother who was 9 years older than me. He couldn’t sleep without the radio on, so he would come home from clubbing and slap the radio Luxembourg on. He’d crash out asleep and little me would end up wide awake listening to a great radio station.
Die 70er waren meine Jugend. Damals hörte ich abends die englische Welle von Radio Luxemburg. Da kam coole Musik 🎶. An einige Hits die ich damals hörte und lange nicht im Radio 📻 gehört habe, erinnere ich mich auch. Viele Hits davon höre ich auf RUclips. Was war das toll.
Listening to Radio Luxembourg on MW in the 80s til closing and the sign off by Bob Stewart at 3am on an Ingersoll portable radio held together by cello tape. When the music stopped all you would hear was the beep beep beep beep of interference that was part of MW. I use that sign off by Bob as a ring tone on my phone. RIP all concerned and thanks for the music and memories. The Great 208.

I used to hear Radio Luxembourg in late 70s and early 80s in Lisbon, Portugal. In the winter it was a little difficult but in the summer the conditions of reception were perfect. I learnt so much about pop music in radio Luxembourg, i'll never forget it. David Bowie, Roxy Music, Tubeway Army, T. Rex, Blondie, ABBA, Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Sparks, KC and The Sunshine Band, Chic, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Ian Dury, Kate Bush, Stylistics, Four Seasons, Hot Chocolate, Adam and the Ants, Human League, Heaven 17, Soft Cell, New Order and even Laurie Anderson are some of the names that came to my head when i remember Radio Luxembourg's play lists.
Remember listening to this on long warm summer nights. and mum and dad shouting through the wall and telling me to go to sleep.❤️ but latter on in life they would tell me they used to listen to it a lot as well when they were married.❤️ rest in peace both of you hope to see you again one day.
I loved listening to Radio Luxembourg in the late 70s late at night as a young teenager in Ireland. I had an old hand me down Toshiba transistor radio with a broken antenna, but I managed to rig up a temporary one with a clothes hanger. Reception was in and out, but loved it as a young lad.
I used to lie in bed listening till closedown, wondering who was listening behind the Iron Curtain and dreaming of going there one day. I've only been to Ukraine and Hungary but fell in love with them both.
Years ago, I read Ray Coleman’s biography of John Lennon, and it mentioned that Radio Luxembourg was the station the Beatles listened to in the late 1950s and early 1960s because at that time, BBC radio did not play rock and roll music.
Excellent ! Thank you so much. Tantissimi ricordi di gioventù. L'ascoltavo sui 1440 kHz ed allora abitavo in Sicilia occidentale. Il suo segnale era possente anche in quelle latitudini.
In my early teens in the early 70's I used to love listening to radio Luxemburg on my small hand held transistor in bed and when the usual roar would come to turn off that bloody radio I simply listened to it under the blankets.
ludzie byli inni niż dzis wystarczy popatrzeć na społeczeństwo..w tv sonad w Pl była jednym z najlepszych pragramów..dzis programów pełno ale bez wartości ..to samo muzyka już nie ta..bo trzeba wdziekami nadrabiac głos..była jeszcze 252 long way też fajna stacja..
Lovely to hear at the end the DJ say Wishing you Gods Blessing and peace. The close down music they often played called "At The End of The Day said "Thank you Lord for my work an play" : ) God Bless Allen and Alanna
As I'm listening now to the last 1.5 hour of RL broadcast I almost choke up with sweet memories! The big noise even reached eastern Ukraine in the early 70s! I was a student in Kharkov State University 1969-1974 and used to listen to 208 on Soviet made transistor radio "Okean". Wrote down Top 20 list every week and shared it with rock fan friends...
I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I love any tips you can give me
@Simon Rory thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I loved RL when I was a kid. Steve Wright went from Radio 210 to RL before he went to Radio1. Emperor Roscoe, Ollie Henry. Power play. I remember Supertramps Breakfast in America was a power play.
Listened to Radio Luxembourg in Belarus. But with one condition, it was necessary to have low gloomy clouds ... then you could hear something ... BUT their screensavers of that time just fascinated me !!! I listened to the screensaver was shocked !!! From transitions !! From sound effects !! how the music turns on, to the beat of the screensaver .. how they come out of the music again into the screensaver .. it seemed to me that they have THOUSANDS of different transitions ... In short, listen and imagine what I was in shock THEN.

Radio Luxembourg was the best radio station to listen to while stationed in Germany from the 50 60 70 I'm so glad that we can pick up radio Luxembourg here on the phone it kept all the military troops in Germany happy that's all I used to tune into with my 190 Mercedes convertible with the Becca Mexico radio I will never forget it I have a b decal where it says radio Luxembourg looks like I'm going to have to put it on my vehicle to let people know that radio Luxembourg is still alive thank you so much for letting us listen to your wonderful radio station always being always will thank you very much
God listen to this in the late 70,so Erle 80,s wile camping. on the cb radio. agravatin everybody .good days. sumon below sea I want to cry, I now Wat u meet. time is going so fast now
+Alexander Savelyev Ha ha, and I used to listen to Vladimir Pozner on Radio Moscow! It sounded so alien to hear him talking about "workers in the Soviet republic of Ukraine" or whatever, and I couldn't even imagine what these amazing places were like.
Would be fun to have some of the old ads too, if they're still around in any form. "Be right on time with Ever-Right" "And the time by my H Samuel Ever-Right watch is [whatever] precisely!" (Can't find anything online at all about those watches, although H Samuel still exists as a jewellery company.) "Vidor batteries for that strong clear sound!" And of course Mr Batchelor .... I was too young to play the pools when he was around.
In the forties/fifties American singer Jo Stafford had her own programm on radio Luxembourg, talkingand bringing tunes from her own of other artists.I stayed home to listen to her programms.(208wave.)
Я слушал Radio Luxemburg на Средних Волнах 208м (1440 кГц) с 1985-1990 г.г. 21:00-21:30 (msk) была программа Mike RTL (Lloyd George Avenue Brussels, Belgium). Благодаря этой программе, я познакомился с Vlado Petrik (Slovakia, Topolcany) и Раймонд Ницманис (Юрмала, Латвия, ul.Pludu). Каждую Пятницу в 22:00-23:00 на RTL был Английский Чарт (Top 15).
From the early till the middle of the 60s we had no acceptable radio station in Germany for young people. For the good music there was only Radio Luxembourg on middle- or long-wave from London W1 with disturbing noises and fading in - fading out. I remember the jingle "colourful radio Luxembourg" and miss it here. The other radio station with good new music was AFN Europe. Wir hatten ja sonst nichts. ;-)
I just checked the faceplate of the 1957 Emud radio I inherited and there it is at 1440, a little window marked "LUXEMBURG". Even though it's a USA-spec radio, with the AM dial marked (backward) in Kc and the full 88-108 FM band, it has all the cities of Europe mapped out, probably to emphasize its German origin. It also has channel numbers (which we never used) as well as frequencies on FM and seems to lack the CONNELRAD markings that were supposed to tell us where to tune in during a nuclear attack.
The great days of pop radio.The commercial radio in the UK now is a total embarrassment compared to the stations like Radio Luxembourg and the offshore pirates.😬
The station of the 80s jingles was when I got into the station. Always a good listen, when wanting a change from John Peel on Radio 1. Such a shame the 208 signal was so awful on some nights I had to switch off. Would have awesome on VHF on Britain and would have completely changed the success of ILR for sure.
@@dyzett Ja najbardziej lubiłem "Głos Ameryki" i czasem ekstra opowieści tam były: " Jak to przyjechał jeden Rosjanin do Nowego Jorku i w nocy zauważył sklep. A na wystawie mnóstwo kawy, herbaty, słodyczy i natychmiast rozpoczął społeczną kolejkę 😁 a potem dołączył policjant i jego pies, ponieważ zainteresował się tym dziwnym zachowaniem. I na nic zdały się tłumaczenia, że towaru tu jest bez liku i nikt tego nie wykupi (!). Rosjanin oczywiście w to nie uwierzył i stwierdził że to jakaś propaganda żeby go oszukać (ha,ha😂) i w ogóle to niemożliwe, żeby tyle towaru było w sklepie i nikt się tym nie interesuje.☀️😁
Loved radio Luxembourg but it would fade in and out at night would lay in my bed as a kid with my little battery radio under the covers so my mum & dad couldn't hear
5:20 1 MW on the MW band must have gone everywhere. Stations in the USA are limited to 50,000 W. No wonder people from so many countries remember these broadcasts. I noticed a lot of American/Canadian accents in these announcements; probably the easiest for mixed audiences to understand.
In Mexico border blasters pounded the US ether at night from Mexican border stations who began at 100000 Watts in the late 1920s to close to a million if not more until the 1970s. Do you remember "the wolfman", he broadcasted from Monterrey, Mexico in the late 1950s and 1960s. As for "legit" stations, in Mexico XEW, XEB and XEX used to broadcast at 100,000 Watts in the 1940s and 1950s. XEW still does and there is an old RUclips video of a portable radio picking up XEW 900Khz in Ireland.
Around 12 midnight UK in North West England I would retune to 49.26 metres (6090 kHz) SW to hear the international worldwide transmission of Radio Luxembourg English Service, it still faded a little bit but not in and out as MW did.
🙉🎙Oh What happened me oh what happened to you the only thing we remember is the past radio Luxembourg what happened to radio Caroline They were truly the likely lads of the radio air waves
Ah luxy 208 station of the stars,it's your DJ BA,Barry Aldiss.Almost sure Steve Conway finished each night with 'At the end of the day'.1960s great era!

Crystal set and torch under the sheets every night, what memories, my introduction to music in the late 50’s
I listened to the Great 208 when my dad was stationed at Ramstein Air base in Germany back in the early 80's. I remember all this.

Around 12 midnight UK in North West England I would retune to 49.26 metres (6090 kHz) SW to hear the international worldwide transmission of Radio Luxembourg English Service, it still faded a little bit but not in and out as MW did.
