In this recording from July 1979, he tunes along both bands late at night and again in the morning, providing snippets of the pirates and RT\u00c9. Among the content captured here is Paul Vincent with a late-night phone-in on ARD (Alternative Radio Dublin), Vincent Stewart on the Big D and a science fiction show also on the Big D. There are extracts from Mike Murphy&#8217;s breakfast programme recorded from RT\u00c9 Radio 1 on FM and part of the Big D breakfast show, again from FM. As the knob is turned along the AM band, some British stations are also heard, as well as other unidentified Irish pirates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This undated recording is from the Leon Tipler Collection, donated to us by Steve England. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English radio enthusiast Leon Tipler was fond of recording bandscans during his visits to Dublin in the late 1970s and early 1980s, giving us a unique insight into the sound of the AM and FM bands at the time.
