Sunshine Radio 529 on 7705 kHz
« on: December 04, 2018, 1906 UTC »
 Saw this posted on the FRN by Bram Stoker and he is looking for some help regarding this station. Does anyone have any insights on this?

  7705 Sunshine Radio 529; 1208-1222+, 12/1; Variety pop music;
IDs @1214 & 1221. SIO=243+ to about 1222 then dropped off.

Pirate? Nothing on 7705 in Aoki/EiBi.

Anybody have anything on this? Please post.

I don't know if it's related, but a guy and girl used to run "Grasscutter Radio" just over a decade ago. He used the name Grasscutter and she was Sunshine.

I can clear this one up.
What was heard was an old recording of Sunshine Radio 539. This was a Dublin Ireland station from the 1980's.

The recording was one of many played to commemorate the closure of the Irish pirate stations 30 years ago (Dec 31st).
