For a very long time Radio Luxembourg was *the* pop music radio in Europe, especially in Germany and GB. At a time when Germany only had its public radio system, the Radio Luxembourg was the one and only. But this is history.<\/p>\n

At Christmas, several German shortwave broadcasters, organized by Radio DARC, will transmit on 6070 kHz in memoriam of Radio Luxembourg from Vienna. See the attached flyer [above]. BTW, radio amateurs play important roles: Head of Radio DARC is Rainer, DF2NU. Moderator of \u201cHit AM\u201d is Christian, DO8CN. And for \u201cGoldrausch 6070\u201d Eckard, DD9NF, sits in front of the microphone.<\/p>\n

I could imagine that quite some ham spirit was used in this project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Excellent! Thank you for the heads-up, Alexander! I’ll post a reminder closer to Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
