There are many good E.European stations, especially if you
are interested in classical music. The Czech station Radio Prague,
and also transmissions from Radio Budapest, Hungary , Kiev in the
Ukraine are well worth listening to.


They beat "East Enders" any day:-)


You listen to 'East Enders' on the radio?


Is there another way? All my telly comes by radio.


I'm tempted to say all my radio comes by telly actually. But I'd be
fibbing slightly.

Aural perception is a skill that requires study and careful development over
along period of time. Few have it as a natural gift.

Radio, TV, video, films, books, lectures, concerts etc
etc all compete for our leasure time. I would rather
to listen to a concert from Kiev than watch a second
rate TV show.

scribeth thus

As I switched off my 2A3 SET which had been sounding better than ever (due
to a valve swap in my phono stage) just now I could hear a feint muttering
in a foreign language! The warm *nostalgic* feeling and familiarity (Radio
Luxembourg?) was most pleasant, but it was dick-all to to with my valves -
it was coming from the little Pioneer SS amp which was/is hooked up to a
pair of B&W speakers with no sources on, but left on and switched to the
Phono input!

The language was impossible to nail - Eastern European yet almost
Italian-sounding?? Is Radio Albania still about and still pushing it out
large?


That's usually the frequencies that amps with no RF suppression tend to
work best;!..

A friend of mine used to be a dentist, and one of his patients turned
up one day complaining that he was receiving Radio 1 on one of his
fillings.

"At least", he pleaded, "could you change it to Radio 4?"

my ordinary cabled landline phone plays R4, which is kind-of
irritating; at least it's not dimwitted commercial pop radio
