It has been Europe's biggest and best commercial radio station. For a period of 59 years it has set standards in the world of broadcasting.

This site has been created to keep the memories of 'The great 208' alive and to reflect the memories of former listeners of RTL. Whether they are english, norwegian, dutch, american or german. Due to the fact that LUXEMBOURG did broadcast worldwhide via short wave this station became familiar to people all around the globe. And further to that there have been thousands of american GIs listening to 208 during their stay in Europe. And browsing through the entries in my guestbook you will notice that they still remember this great radio station today.

And now in brief what you can expect on this web site :
