Where on *earth* can you receive VOA over the air in the DC Metro area? The only time I ever remember hearing VOA over the air in the USA was in the few days after 9/11, when the news was still on all the time. My Dad and I went down to the hardware store to buy a few things for fixing up the house, and one of the stations--can't remember which--was rebroadcasting the VOA feed. WAMU carries the BBC's "The World Today" at midnight and CBC's "As It Happens" at eleven at night, and after that Deutsche Welle "Newslink" Man, I really need to listen to more shortwave. I miss hearing the voices of the newsreaders. My favourites were always the newsreaders for Radio Havana Cuba (I tuned in once during their coverage of the Pan-Am games--or was it the goodwill?) and Radio Exterior de España. And Radio Beijing always used to play the PRC anthem at the start of its broadcasts, which was always stirring. -Luigi "I hear the talking of the DJ Can't understand just what does he say?" -Wall of Voodoo, "Mexican Radio" www.livejournal.com/users/ouij photos, rants, raves |

area? I can't. I cheat and get it on the web. I do have a shortwave radio but it's at work and all I can get is Deutcshe Welle. It's a German radio. Mostly I listen to WAMU, which is pretty good as it has CBC programming at night, "As it Happens" is very cool. -- _______________________ALL AMIGA IN MY MIND_______________________ ------------------"Buddy Holly, the Texas Elvis"------------------ in.edu__________ |

There was a new newsreader on last night who sounds as though he's pinching his nose shut while he reads the news. |

My favourite BBC newsreader of all time, Brian Perkins, retired in 2003. He had this deep, velvety baritone. The Barry White of hourly news bulletins. I only wish I sounded that cool. Karl Kassel of NPR News in the USA is the closest equivalent, and it's just not the same. -Luigi "Fisher, Dogger, German Bight" www.livejournal.com/users/ouij Photos, Rants, Raves |

Am I the only one that thinks Pantani deserves more than a fleeting mention
before the thread moves on? In his prime there were damn few riders that could hang with him in the mountains and his prime was preceded by a career threatening shattered femur suffered in a head-on collision in 1995. Three years later he managed to win the Giro and the TdF, both in the same year. I don't care what drugs he may have taken. That's impressive. He will be missed. Regards, Bob Hunt |
