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 KZbin. Was war das toll.

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.

[@67lionsoflisbon37]

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.

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.

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.

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 KZbin video of a portable radio picking up XEW 900Khz in Ireland.
