 Hi Stefan and group

Most people of my age in the UK can remember AFN it was the only source of good Pop music (apart from 208) and radio plays like "Gun Smoke" when we were kids. The BBC was (and probably still is) controlled by the Unions and had to have live dreary music played by a load of dead beats which was truly awful.

Thanks for the pics.

Perhaps you could have temporary access when the official use has ceased.

I remember the tests from the DECCA site at Puckeridge.
