Here’s a real blast from the past… Radio station K.I.T.S. on FM and AM was the brainchild of Armagh man Frank McCarthy. Located again in County Monaghan the station name came from the fact that Frank built transmitters and had bits of ‘kit’ lying around the house. He managed to get a jingle package from a similar station in San Francisco and K.I.T.S. was air from 1987 until December 1988. Frank himself was accidentally killed while working on a transmitter in 1998. Here’s a K.I.T.S. bumper sticker…

Today is a sad day as we learn of the death yesterday of the former curator of Armagh County Museum - D.R.M. Weatherup. Roger joined the museum in 1955 as deputy of T.G.F. Paterson and retired in 1992 having spent 37 years building up one of the best museum collections in Ireland. He wasn’t just content to work from behind a desk and one of his most enduring legacies is the field work he carried out with his camera recording the changing face of county Armagh. His kind, witty and generous personality will be greatly missed by many from his adopted city and all who had the good fortune to know him professionally.
