Thanks to Ross Dean - a piccy of the long, distant past tells you what I used to do. Was it madness, or fun, or just another job? (it was fun pirating as NS1A)

      Radio 4 mention on 6th July 2001? Yeh, yeh, yeh - me! Mind you, I don't know anyone old enough to qualify for Michael Rosen's challenge. The extract in MP3 (542,949 bytes)

We consider that this is purely an application for Outline Planning which will be changed as soon as they gain ownership. We feel that is not in the interest of the present owner to sell at a much reduced price, should our presumption prove to be true.

      Did you hear the programme on Radio 4 about the Numbers Stations?

      If not, listen again NOW (with Winamp)

      Tracking the Lincolnshire Poacher - A wild journey to the outer limits of radio cryptography and espionage as Simon Fanshawe enters the clandestine world of shortwave Number stations. Are they the mad aural daubings of pirate DJs, an extraordinary and elaborate hoax or are they, as many believe, coded messages broadcast by intelligence services and governments to their agents in the field? See the proof here.

      Did you miss the programme on Radio 4 about the 'good old days' of the Short Wave Jamming stations? This was originally broadcast on 15th August 2006 and repeated on 18th April 2007

      Listen again NOW (with Winamp)

Soviet bloc radio engineers tried to jam radio signals coming from the West while their Western counterparts did their utmost to get the signals through. Roger talks to engineers from both sides and hears what happened when the jamming finally stopped.
