... not right now, but last night at 21:30 - 22:00 UTC. Every year the BBC do a special short wave radio transmission to the scientists etc, working in Antartica on midwinters night, 21st of June. This year there are 37 people, they say it is the smallest target audience for the BBC. This year three transmitters were used, one at Wooferton in England (the UK,s last remaining short wave transmitter site) one on Ascension Island and one in Oman. Apparently they all have a piss up and a party on midwinters night. Here are two of my recordings, one from Ascension Island in the South Atlantic and one from Wooferton. steven. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p056bgm4

... following on from the Antartica theme, this was on telly last night. It is the story of them moving one of the Antartic bases due to the ice cracking. I found it interesting, but watched it after work, and fell asleep half way through. Im just about to watch the rest of it now. Cheers, Steven. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08tj2zr

Just got bought the greatest hits of Roxette (Roxbox) as I kept saying I liked their songs whenever they came on the radio. They were certainly a talented pair of artists, who wrote a lot of hits. I wonder if Per likes RD's? 😜

Not a damned thing :-) Mercifully. National broadcasting Corp is Nothing but endless/unrelenting Leftist Drivel. TV and Radio alike. Commercial radio is either Mo Town Or Led Zep noise.. Too Borrring... 4 decades on. Have a 'fancy' Audio setup for when I feel the need for.. Music of my own choosing, not some Community Journalism School attendees' choices.

steven if you are interested in polar exploration listen to Saturday live on radio 4 featuring British Antarctic winter base commander Jess Walkup. Hi Veg, Thanks for that I will have a listen. Im not overly interested in polar stuff, just found it interesting. I spent a bit of time in the Artic when I was in the navy, stange at this time of the year up there when it is light almost 24/7, but never been anywhere near the South pole. I watched a programme about Shackleton and his trip to the south pole recently too, that was good as well. Thanks again, cheers, steven.

WTF are u you do with that- I said- shoot the tornado???. No I just don't want it to get swept away by it! he replied. 'Merica.
