I was in that general area 10 years earlier (55-56). The 872 station (at that time) was AFN-Frankfort.

1440kHz. but oh what terrible propagation fading outside London and the home counties. Barry: At that time I was living down in Folkestone, Kent and the fading was real bad there too. Should have been better seeing I was much closer to the transmitter, but rarely was.

Re: [IRCA] 1510 Boston and what about-
Bill, I checked my 1955-56 logs from Iceland. Radio Luxembourg was on 1439 kHz. They boomed into Keflavik. One of the very best signals from Europe. They also played pop/rock as you noted. Rock music was just catching on at that time so Radio Lux was very popular. Don K. S.F.
