Radio User Magazine December 2021 Vorige editie

IN THIS ISSUE

The December issue of RadioUser is, once again packed to the rafters with product news, book and radio reviews, the latest events updates and inspiring radio-related resources and materials. In our primary features this month, there is a bit of a radio-history theme. Tony Smith is mindful that 2022 is an important Anniversary Year for the BBC and he looks right back to 1925 when the BBC was, for a short while, the British Broadcasting Company.

Meanwhile, Keith Rawlings reports on HMS Collingwood Museum and the German battleship Admiral Graf Spee. In the first part of a two-part article, Scott Caldwell assesses what can be gleaned from analysing two-way comms and broadcast programmes during and after the events of 9th September 2001; and last but by no means least Keith Hamer and Garry Smith conclude the fascinating story of Westward Television, opening their unique private archive.

In our regular columns this month, you can learn about a new book on coastal radio stations by a well-known RadioUser contributor, the best radio books ever, to collect and treasure, the best times and frequencies for international short wave- and online listening, RAF Shawbury, and the nostalgia of old radio adverts.

You might also enjoy Robert Connolly’s survey of radio navigation and the wonderful Smörgåsbord of CB radio, PMR446 and other two-way communications items that Tim Kirby is serving up this month.
