[ALUG] Resonance with Norfolk wavelength

[(Ted Harding)]

Hi Folks,

An interesting out-of-region experience for you ...

On Sunday I was driving down to London along the A10.
As I got further South, the pre-set stations on my car radio
(Radio4/Norwich, Radio4/Peterborough, Classic FM, Radio3,
even Radio Cambridgeshire, and Radio Norfolk) all got worse
and worse. South of the Stevenage-Stansted line they were useless,
and I had switched off.

Then, stuck in traffic around Wood Green, I thought I'd switch
it on again and see if those frequencies would pick up anything
in the London area.

All failed -- with the exception of the Radio Norfolk frequency
(104.4 FM). I picked up, loud and clear, "Resonance104.4FM":

  http://www.resonancefm.com/index1.htm

  "Resonance 104.4fm is London's first radio art station,
   brought to you by London Musicians' Collective."

It was intriguing listening, so I switched it on again on
the way back, and even sat through an hour of music mixed
with talk in a language I didn't recognise, which turned out
to be "Rasaa: Iranian program with music, discussion and chat"
devised by the "Iranian Community Group".

So I tracked the station down when I got home (google on "104.4 FM").

The listings (accessible from the above web site) show the
variety of the transmissions.

Pity I can't listen on the radio from here -- Radio Norfolk
wins, of course -- but I'll be trying their "listen live"
resources (Ogg/Real/MP3) when they start transmitting later
today.

Best wishes to all,
Ted.
