I am in the process of revamping my radio related website, which is located at www.brady558.com The name refers to my surname & the (Medium Wave) radio frequency once occupied by offshore pirate radio stations Laser 558 & Radio Caroline in the 1980s.
At present, the 'Home' page & the 'About this Site' page are the only parts of the site that are accessible. However, all comments and/or criticisms of the site design are most welcome.

Yes, they certainly was 'pirate' radio in County Cavan. There were three stations on air in the county between 1983 & 1988 (when legislation in the Irish Republic outlawed all 'pirates'). These stations were namely Breffni Radio, Cavan Community Radio & Erneside Radio. I myself worked for two of these aforementioned stations (Cavan Community Radio between December 1983 & August 1985 and Breffni Radio between September 1985 & December 1988).
I later worked for Northern Sound (legal service for counties Cavan & Monaghan, which was established in 1990) between May 1990 & December 1991. I later worked for Radio Star Country (a 'pirate' that refused to go off air - it's still on air to this day) in Co. Monaghan, between January 1992 & March 1996.
Following my diagnosis of MS in 1996, I undertook a computer course & am now working for a computer resale/repair company. Website design is a hobby for me as a result.
Thank you for the comments with regard to brady558. When you state that I need to 'look at the layout in Firefox as my About Page is wrapping round the nav div., what exactly do you mean? Please excuse my lack of knowledge when it comes to nav divs.
If you do have any contacts with regard to Radio Caroline, I would be delighted to hear from you again. My plan is to concentrate on the Caroline years between 1980 (the sinking of the Mi Amigo) & 1991, when the station broadcast from the North Sea for the last time (on the MW band). I plan to source the highly regarded 'Monitor' magazine (I have received express permission to do so) & my personal recollections of the time. I could receive Radio Caroline on 963 kHz AM with a very strong signal in the 1980s in Kilnaleck, Co. Cavan (where I used to live) & I had a 'Personal Top Five' played on the station by Dave Windsor in October 1984 - I have an off-air recording of it too!
So, that is my plan with regard to the content of brady558. Another query: how do I achieve the effect of an underline effect appearing on a text link on mouseover?
