At least 6 explosions on the subway & one double-decker bus, now CNN
says a number of (3) explosions on buses. Unofficial reports of
unexploded bombs found, but haven't seen verification yet. Lots of
confusion still, even from "official" sources. Are noe admitting
possible terror attack, instead of power surges as claimed in first
reports. All underground/subway trains shut down, as well as busses in
"Zone 1" (some reports now say city wide). Cell phone network has been
shut down (can be used for remote detonation). Live news feeds cutting
off (overload of communication network due to panic?). Land lines also
overloaded having problems. Buckingham Palace sealed off, police on
streets with weapons and rooftops with biniculars. At least 2 confirmed
dead, 90+ casualties. Anyone getting reliable up to date info on SW or
net please advise.

I have a feeling this is NOT an Arab based terrorist attack even though they
claimed they did it. I think this is a Euro anti-gov group protesting the
destruction of the planet's environment and big corporate energy entities.
The fact that this coincides with the G8 tells you a lot.

Hope you guys in the U.K. are OK.
Good luck mates.

1) While I was able to listen to BBC Radio 4 (the talk station) on
line with my saved Real Audio .ram file, the normal way to listen is
via a pop up window on their website and I was unable to connect to
their web site.

So for most people, BBC radio on line was NOT reachable.

Here is the pointer for realaudio:

2) I notice that BBC America, a cable/satellite TV network, seemed to
be running their normal schedule with news at 1000 GMT (6 A.M. EDT)
followed by "Talking Movies" at 1030 GMT and then two more
alternations of news and movies.

Perhaps they should have been more flexible and just stuck with the
news? On the other hand, maybe at this point there isn't that much
news to report.

If you want to see what a bus blown up by terrorists looks like, you
can see a film from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs at

Undoubtedly the most obscene site on the internet, complete with
explicit severed limbs. Not recommended within 12 hours either way of
lunch.

That's not shortwave. You do know what shortwave is? Don't you?

B.H.

I (and I'm sure others) have found time and time again that webfeeds of
various broadcasters fail, when listening counts most --- during a
national emergency. Being able to quickly scale up to handle a large
number of listeners is very important. Of course, shortwave doesn't
have such fan-out issues...

I tried both the BBC website and the URL you listed to no avail.
