Benny Brown Community Radio Luxembourg 1981

Benny Brown was one of the great crew that manned Radio Luxembourg in the early 1980s. With 3 million watts on the AM band, Radio Luxembourg was heard from Russia to Turkey to Scandinavia and Africa.

Here's Benny from April of 1981 on Community Radio, the local Luxembourg service.


This is new from a cassette aircheck that Bob Stewart sent me that year.

Benny went to Frankfurt Germany for a few years, and now is back on RTL Community Radio.

Radio Station Belt Buckles

Back in the 70s and 80s, belt buckles were a popular giveaway item at radio stations, I guess to hold up those wide belt jeans. Here are a few that survived, click to enlarge.

RTL was 208 Radio Luxembourg, from 1980. WSM Radio 65 is from the same time at the Nashville country station. WLAC was Top 40 in Nashville and featured the famous sun logo. WQXI was from the late 70s in Atlanta.

Did your favorite station give away belt buckles?
