Thu 30 December 2004 - Radio across the globe
Was chatting the other day to Tony about radio web casts from across the globe, and I was remembering how much harder it used to be before the age of the Innanet.
About 20 years ago I had a rickety old shortwave radio with which I used to listen to the BBC World Service. It only worked when the solar activity was minimal, and they used to switch frequencies at different times of day and year. But I was rapt every time I managed to pick up a signal and hear the words on the hour “This is London.”
