Friday nights will never be quite the same again. Studio Two is back. It's bigger and badder than ever. New Opus monitoring system, new Allen and Heath mixer, a new setting. It's sunny. Look out, well, keep an eye on the Live Streams box above - if we are live you'll see a stream starting with RadioVague....
From the 3rd August, 24 hours a day till the 10th transmit Boom Radio live from the Boom Festival in Portugal. Boom Radio featured music, interviews, talk shows, news, transmissions from Liminal Village talks, DJ mixes and more!
Boom Festival is a global art, music and culture gathering held every two years in Portugals sun-drenched countryside in a stunning outdoor location on the shore of the Lake Idanha-a-Nova.
Ground breaking :: Due to the high quality of the 24/7 stream coming from Boom Radio, RadioVague "maxed out" their mobile uplink for the first time ever. The engineers got on the telephone to the bandwidth providers, but they were unwavering; we had been flagged as bandwidth abusers and our uplink capacity was throttled to 32kbps from 256. This was both sad and a cause for celebration. To avoid disappointing the lovely listeners we continued at a lower bandwidth for as long as possible. It was worth it; the final figures indicate that via various mirrored streams a total of 162,000 connections were made to the stream. Not bad :)
