Default (NEOT) The Observer: "After the crackle, pop"

Not Entirely On Topic, but still, it's one of the few newspaper articles
I've seen that has mentioned shortwave, for quite a while:

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/revie...057269,00.html

"Anyone remember shortwave? Once upon a time, every wireless came equipped
with FM, LW, MW and, crucially for some of us, SW bands. The shortwave
frequency was always the most interesting: twiddle along the SW dial and you
invariably came upon some fantastically exotic radio stations, broadcasting
from as far afield as North Africa or Latvia. You still can. I have two
shortwave-receiving radios: both offer hours of atmospheric entertainment, a
crackly aural snapshot of another life."



Cheers,

Paul.
