I used to listen to a radio station that was nearly but not quite on top of (I think) Luxembourg. But I can't remember now!"
I think it was Medium wave 208, as I remember listening to the top 20 show on Sunday nights, on my little tranny under the bed clothes

Radio 1 started around 1965 if I remember correctly, there was no Pop Music station really, until then? Then Radio Caroline and Luxembourg started up as pirate radio stations

when the type of radio you mentioned first came out, you needed an acumilator to work iit, like a small battery,that had to be taken to a shop and recharged, while you had one on the radio.
