Initially, Radio Rainbow broadcast every Sunday morning across Europe on 6240 kHz in the 48-metre band. Local transmitters were later added on AM and FM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In edition #28 of the FRC, Kieran Murray welcomes listeners hearing relays on Radio Veronica in Liverpool and Radio Crystal in Surrey and reminds other free radio stations in Europe that they are welcome to carry the programme. Promos for Anoraks UK are voiced by the late Bob Gallico. Listeners&#8217; letters come from Ireland and the UK and there is the usual 5-minute sweep of jingles. The feature covers a recording of London pirate Thameside Radio from 1980 and is followed by the weekly FRC newsdesk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/pirate.ie\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8100AI-A-1024x362.jpg\" alt=\"Northeast series: FRC show #28 on Radio Rainbow International\" class=\"wp-image-9819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pirate.ie\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8100AI-A-1024x362.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pirate.ie\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8100AI-A-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pirate.ie\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8100AI-A-768x272.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pirate.ie\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8100AI-A.jpg 1168w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Original cassette inlay from Anoraks Ireland Collection. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The recording is from the Anoraks Ireland Collection and was made on Sunday 3<sup>rd<\/sup> August 1986 from 1100-1200.
