When I arrived at Bitburg,Germany (Aug.1969), I bought a radio and search the band for station and found radio Lux. 49. Reading your website made me want to get back into radio again. So glad to hear that Radio 208 is back on the air. At that time I lived in Croatia (Zagreb) (Formerly yugoslavia) and the nights with you, were window to the world. anyhow, I was lucky, I had a choice of FM stations to listen to, but luxy was kind of exoctic, so I insisted on bending my ear, to listen to it! It used to annoy me heaps when the reception faded. Louisville, Kentucky, USA (20/12/2001). and the other fellows who were regularsback then? Great site and greatest memories. Posted in. 843.

Have you ever seen the better radio station in the world?! 703. I came accross these web pages quite accidentaly, however it reminded me to sixties when, as teenager, wouldn't go to bed till 3am listening every night Station of the stars. Hollywood, Florida (29/11/2001). I 1939 blev udsendelserne afbrudt af 2. verdenskrig, og under 2. verdenskrig blev stationen benyttet af Grossdeutscher Rundfunk til nazistiske propagandaudsendelser, og efter verdenskrigen nogle r af Voice of America.

The Radio 208 was a fountain for every young rock-guy to talk about the Top Twenty to feel about the pop music, we loved Luxy. Radio Luxenbourg was a good friend with a lot of music, jingles and DJs during my teenager nights Story and other infos about the Radio are new and interesting for me.
