The Luxembourg card takes me back to the early 1980's when I was at
Field Station Augsburg in Bavaria. Night shift duty was intolerably
boring and lonely at times, but when you're surrounded by racks and
racks of R-390aURR and RACAL receivers, there is always a spare you can
tune in for background noise. Radio Luxembourg's English service was
our evening entertainment, and also used to include a penpal show and
many of the best pops around. Couple that with AFN's Mystery Theater,
and you almost got the feeling that swing and midnight shifts weren't so
bad after all!
Hope everyone had a great week!
