Just found this site and it is fab just like 208 was,it brought back so many memories.I grew up with Luxy and was very sad when it closed,I remember in the mid seventies a dj called Tony Murphy,he was Australian and his catch-phrase was, May the lord have murphy on you,does any one else remember him. 284.

If they only knew what lay ahead . It was a real wonder for me,living in the USSR behind the iron curtain, to listen to R.L.sometimes at midnigt, when radiowave propagation was relatively good.
