Yeah can't wait/

I can just imagine all those RSGB committees lining up
to impose bandplans on it, issue NoV's for Echostink
and DSTAR, and then there will be G3LEQ versus
the HF Committee or whoever fighting over who
won the allocation in the first place ;-)

Wishfull thinking but I think the legendary Chris England sums up the
current Radio Caroline perfectly.

that is a shame I used to like listening to that in the car ........


No wonder that BBC is losing so much of it's previously loyal
audience . Wrong time as well . . .

Classic English bureaucratic method of killing a service --
death by a thousand cuts, and then because it is so poor
nobody uses or wants it, declare that because nobody uses
it or wants it, then it is time to close it down.

There was a suggestion somewhere on the Internet (cannot remember
where) that there might be a change of mind. Anyone know?

How much money is the BBC actually saving? It seems to me a fairly
poor sense of priority to withdraw the World Service from a large
chuck of Europe when we are as a nation presumably trying to make
friends, influence people and promote British values.

Or is the argument that if the BBC is to be funded by the licence
payer only the (UK) licence payer really counts.

Having said all that I see a lot of AM stations are closing so is it
genuinely the case that very few people listen on AM radio with
enthusiasts now using the Internet? Obviously that would help people
in cars though.

Any ideas what will happen to 648 KHz? I have seen the speculation.

Oh just the usual...

That means a 60's pop pirate organisation will
come along, launch a campaign to get a licence,
ask the public for a fighting fund and then make off
with dosh.

Hmm, does it have the essence of something else
seen in this newsgroup ;-)
