And that’s all for today, A big Thank You to everyone who has helped (and are continuing to help). The document has now passed 4000000 words, and is getting close to 500 pages
If you know a station is missing, and can give me details [Date: Freq: station name: anything else] please let me know and I will try to fit it in, time permitting. I do work shifts; hence the odd times this gets posted, and am also busy with other things at home, but always try to make time for a few hours on the laptop adding more data, so what is sent will go in eventually! 🙂
Kind Regards to all
Bert Bridges
