I've seen some really nice remote units down throught the years but i do think that Radio Kilkennys is one of the best(at least it was back a few years ago)

What really made the Kilkenny OB unit really nice was the price ....

I remember that John Purcell bought it for a song(excuse the pun)

I can't remeber how much it was but they bought the Transit fully equiped for little or nothing.

It was and still understandably is Pat Maher's baby...

Does anyone know who designed and built that Bay FM OB unit? I know BTS done the RoadHog and a few others.

And perhaps this is RTE's mobile community radio station that operated around the country for a while during the 1980s:

(Well the book 'Radio Radio' by Peter Mulryan said it was nicknamed the Wanderly Wagon)
