Well written article, hope the radio programme is as good:

I really enjoyed both programmes as knew nothing of this era of radio history. Not sure about the stories of the station getting out as far as Korea and even the KGB learning 'English' from the show from Moscow- from a 50KW rig in Mexico?

I also like the idea of AM radio waves travelling forever, so right now, in some far distant galaxy, alien beings are picking up Mr Jack's broadcasts. At least in a few years time they'll be spared Caroline Maidstone eh?!
