Atlantic 252
Atlantic 252 was an Irish long wave radio station broadcasting across Ireland and Great Britain on 252 kHz (1190 metres) from its 1988 purpose built transmission site in Clarkstown, County Meath, which provided service to Atlantic 252 from 1989 until 2002. The station's studios were located just 12 km (7 mi) away in Mornington House, Summerhill Road, Trim, County Meath. Atlantic 252 also had sales offices and studios at 74, Newman Street in London. In 2002 the station's former frequency and transmitter were used for the failed TeamTalk 252 project.
The frequency was re-subsumed by RTÉ in 2002 to provide a version of RTÉ Radio 1 to the expatriate community in Britain from the Clarkstown radio transmitter.
Early history
The concept of Atlantic 252 can be traced back as far as August 1986, when Irish state broadcaster RTÉ announced it was to use their allocated longwave channel for a new pop music station. They teamed up with RTL Group/Radio Luxembourg to form Radio Tara – the trading name of Atlantic 252, which being long wave, enabled reception across Ireland and Britain. This was following Chris Cary's test transmissions from Clogher Head, County Louth, in the mid-1980s with 254 kHz Longwave as "Radio Exidy"

Atlantic 203
by: Playground BeatdownThe sky turns gold and the sun turns blue,
When you turn me inside out.
I can breathe you in,
Feel you on my skin,
And still not know what you're all about.
So baby, baby,
Take away the pain.
And baby lately,
You've been running through my veins.
So lets lock the doors,
And dim the lights,
To hide our love away,
And waste the days,
And love the nights,
That let it all give way.
So kiss me, kiss me, just a little faster
We'll live like there's, a worldwide disaster,
My lips tell you the words that I'm scared to say.
I can't find, a way for my mind,
To stop playing back the times I spend with you,
The taste of your lips, and the feel of your hips,
Seems to pull my heart and mind in through and through.
So baby, baby,
Take away the pain.
And baby lately,
You've been running through my veins.
So lets lock the doors,
And dim the lights,
To hide our love away,
And waste the days,
And love the nights,
That let it all give way.
So kiss me, kiss me, just a little faster
We'll live like there's, a worldwide disaster,
My lips tell you the words that I'm scared to say.
So kiss me, kiss me, just a little faster
We'll live like there's, a worldwide disaster,
My lips tell you the words that I'm scared to say.
