[HCDX] Aventure FM
Warm greetings to all of you ! I'm looking for Aventure FM airchecks... How I came to know this station... Back in the late 80s, the quality of Romanian radio was full-clock jammed with awful propaganda such as the strenghts of the socialist progress when you could barely sleep at night, during the winter, because the heat was turned off in order to grasp money for the Ceausescu's travels around the world. My family just couldn't stand it. They came accross a guy who had his brother maried with a French woman in Paris. They had recorded a tape for us on 105.9 MHz Aventure FM which was a wondeful station. While very young I wasn't so hooked on French culture and music, it was always special to get threated to the highly rhythmic pattern of that French FM operation. What hooked me to Aventure FM was our immigration to Canada, back in 1997. We took Air France and stayed for one night in Paris. Everything was gorgeous: the food, the streets, the radio inside the hotel, etc. ! When I came first to Canada I awaited a connection to Internet to enjoy Romanian (which I missed) as well as French radio (to which my heart was open up by our 1-night stay in Paris)... After a few months, we had Internet and I must say I was quite impressed by the refreshing set of music stations such as RTL 2, Fun Radio and Europe 2 were playing. But this was ALMOST superficial when compared to Aventure FM. My mom knew I was hooked on French radio and decided to sent me a few tapes included that special Aventure FM tape to Canada (I didn't had it when I first came in)... EVERYTHING WAS GORGEOUS ! The music played which ranged from californian soft-rock to melodic punk-rock while passing through the French variety, Dance Music and World Beat territories... The jocks intead of waiting for the song to finishing were talking back-to-back with the music popping in and out every few seconds at a time during the last 30 minutes of the last song played. This is called TALKOVER ! But wait for the jingles: highly harmonic industrial driven harmonies that were complex, yet quite catchy with each second a new musical tone blending over the last musical tone like NO OTHER JINGLE I'VE EVER EVEN HEARD OF... Unfortunatly, I do not still have even 1 Aventure FM jingle because of this damned vaccine that made me hyperactive in order to delete the whole tape. But let's just get back to Aventure FM: they featured very serious subjects that were discussed in a quick, effective and dynamic way such as acomoclitism, anthropology and...HORROR MOVIES... I don't know of any other station that featured such an emotional-driven acomoclitism feature in the 80s when acomoclitism was very tabou. What to say more about Aventure FM ?? It's the station that has turn my life into the nightmare when I accidently deleted that tape back in January of 1999 ! I did a lot of things. I wrote to the SIRPA (Service de l'Information et des Relations Publiques de l'Armée de terre) and someone answered thay didn't had any sound bites of Aventure FM anymore. I wrote too to the INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel) and I didn't received any answer, positive or negative. Among the postive things, back in december of 2000, on the RadioActu messageboard, someone called Thierry contacted me in order to talk about his airchecks collection, but my damned father ended up the Internet on that day for a few months and when I got back to RadioActu a couple of months later, Thierry was gone... Thierry is my only REAL hope, but I do have at least SEMI-FALSE hopes for the crew on Hard-Core DX and for the rest of us regarding Aventure FM !!! If any of you is having any airchecks, please let me know. I can give half my DX recordings collection or anything else to receive even 10 to 20 minutes of an Aventure FM aircheck !!! I badly miss this station and I don't have nothing from it to live on (oh yeah, a friendly Belgian guy gave me a poster L'AVENTURE JUSQU'AU BOUT DES ONDES - maybe I should walk along the Montreal streets and ask anyone if they have family in France with airchecks out of Aventure FM) ! Please if you heard AVENTURE FM back in 1988 when they were well or alive, or even back in 1989 before the switch to maXXimum (RTL2 nowadays, although MaXXimum took the Aventure FM's spot on the dial at 95.7 in Lyon, 90.5 in Reims, 105.8 in Grenoble and 105.9 in Paris) via sporadic-E layer skip or tropospheric ducting, please, be kind to tell me how could I taste that DX aircheck of the best station the Earth ever saw ! May the good DX be with you ! Bogdan Chiochiu in Pierrefonds / Montreal Btw.: Last night, I heard RCR-750 with promos and at least two R-C-R mentions with a fair to weak signal SIO 221, not that bad though. With more and more IBOC hash going on, the next step would be to try to find a good LONGWAVE radio, because MW TAs would gonna be hard to find. With LW so quiet (in terms of IBOC hash) and MW so jammed by

Happy New Year to everyone among you !!! I know I may seem a tiny bit too strong on the passionate side of the things, but I wonder if any of you ever heard of AVENTURE FM, maybe during a trip to Paris circa 1987-1988-1989... They were one of the first French radio stations to broadcast features about acomoclitism, back in the late 80s. They were also featuring a highly eclectic, badly astonishing and unpredictable musical mix, consisting of ETIENNE AUBERGER, ETIENNE ADAHO, JOHNY CLEG, MORY KANTE, BANANARAMA, ART OF NOISE, TRANSVISION VAMP, BOY GEORGE, LIANE FOLY, CAROLINE LEGRAND and a whole lot more... The jingle package was hugely astonishing: industrial, yet highly melodic jingles with a bunch of enjoyable musical notes every second. Over that instrumental jingles, a guy was saying écoute sur écoute sur Aventure FM. If anyone is having any airchecks of these guys, please feel free to e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Even if you picked up Aventure FM via e-skip during the summers of 1988 or 1989 (it is saddenly missed since the 23rd of October of 1989), and the e-skip tapes has a bunch of fadings or is simply short (just a jingle), feel free to contact me. I'm giving you all my DX conditions Radio Coro 780 Venezuela airchecks (many of them are unscoped) if I receive just a couple of dozens of minutes from the best station the Earth ever saw, Av-av-av-av-av-aventure May the good DX be with all of you ! May all your wishes turn into truth during the upcoming year of 2008 ! Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu Btw. I: If you are having any AVENTURE FM recordings, please feel free to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm crazy in love with that awesome French radio station. Btw. II: It used to broadcast in Paris on 105.9 MHz VHF FM Stereo, Lyon 95.7 MHz VHF FM Stereo, Chambéry 91 MHz VHF FM Stereo, Grenoble 96.9 MHz VHF FM Stereo, Reims 90.5 MHz VHF FM Stereo and 2 or 3 more QRGs ! That being said, it was far from being a local outlet, outlet it didn't really broadcast nationwide, let's say Aventure FM was seminationwide ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2008: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2008 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] Aventure FM
Hello ! Still regarding DXing since this station was heard in Sweden via e-skip and, also, many DXers are also airchecks collectionners: Since my early childhood, I was swinging in shortwave radio and music. One of my sources for music were tapes recorded over vinyls that well-placed Romanians which could travel to other countries bringed back. My first contact with French was a tape made from Aventure FM 105.9 in Paris. I was really hypnotized by the rich musical variety, the talents of the disc-jockey and the Aventure FM Cent Cinq Neuf jingle. I rediscovered with joy the tape a few months after coming to Canada, but in late 1998/early 1999 I made the big mistake of deleting it. I must say Aventure FM had a magic with no other station ever had for me, altough some venezuelan and romanian (especially former Bucharest pirates of the mid-to-late 90's) aren't that far, but still way off the emotion I had, have and will always have for Aventure FM. If anyone ever heard this station via e-skip or is living in France and listened to it or even have friends or family who did, I would appreciate more than anything. Please contact me off-list in the case you are able to help and I would gladly exchange any tape I have. May good DX be with you ! Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu La jalousie est un grand pieux dans l'évolution spirituelle ! Bonjour amis DXistes ! Depuis ma jeune enfance, j'ai baigné dans la radio onde courte et la musique. Mon premier contact avec la langue française fut une cassette enregistrée sur Aventure FM 105.9 à Paris. J'ai été vraiment envouté par la riche variété musicale qui y figurait, les talents des animateurs (en particulier Monsieur Péro) et le jingle Aventure FM Cent Cinq Neuf. J'ai redécouvert avec un immense enthousiasme l'enregistrement quelques mois après mon arrivée au Québec. Cependant et fort malheureusement, en 1998/1999 j'ai fait la grosse erreur d'effacer la cassette, par manque d'attention. Je dois dire qu'Aventure FM avait un petit quelque chose qu'aucune autre station n'avait pour moi. Cette station est irremplaçable dans mon coeur. Si quelqu'un sur cette liste vit en France, possède des enregistrements ou a des connaissances ayant en leur possession des enregistrements d'Aventure FM, j'aprécierai énormèment l'aide. Je pourrais même vous offrir en échange d'autres enregistrements avec des radios canadiennes, cubaines, vénézueliennes ou autres que j'ai sur k7. Pour plus de renseignements, vous pouvez me contacter sur [EMAIL PROTECTED] Merci énormèment ! Ça me ferait chaud au coeur de pouvoir réentendre Aventure FM a nouveau !
