Hi everyone, i'm just listening to the recordings of County Radio from March 1986. I remember hearing County that week, the signal was very strong at my location and I have some better quality recordings that i made that day on cassette somewhere in my archives...

....And here they are:

I remember the signal well that day,I was miles away but listening on a car radio.County were using the former sounds alternative 80 watt tx,and one of the Blades House sites that we used to use regulary.

Hi Keith,

I don't think the FM was coming from Blades House when I made these recordings on 16th March, because it would have been very weak at my location if that was the case.

When it was coming from West Brom over Easter '86, it was a very very poor signal with me on FM. The MW was strong though, at least during daylight hours.

Was and still am sad to hear the bad news of last week...

2 new recordings are on the County page as of today, featuring Mike Wilson from Nov 85.

Some County recordings were added to the site earlier this year, and another 2 have been added today.

8 new/updated recordings have been added to the County page today.

If that's your bag, there have also been new recordings added the EST and Sounds Alternative pages too.

The files are labelled NEW or UPDATED.
