    I heard the tune 'Let It Be' on a distant AM radio station at night. Static and the signal fading in and out. Sounded like it was coming from another world.

    Hello,

    I use to listen to shortwave radio. The programme is some sense from another world, too. The programme brings the opinions and feelings of people you will never meet to your home.

    Hello,

    thanks, I feel nostalgic, too. If I dig deep enough into my pile of useless^Whighly interesting stuff I will find the tapes with the last transmissions of international shortwave stations. For some reason that is very emotional stuff. I mean we are talking about folks from thousands of kilometers away, folks you don't know, but anyhow, you feel a little bit sad if they are gone.

    Regards
    Gyro

    Hello,

    isn't that strange? The guy from overseas, who learned German with the language courses from Deutsche Welle Radio sounded exactly like that ;).

    Man. Considering your spelling and grammar here, I'd hate to hear how your Morse code sounds. :rolleyes:

    :)

    I'd have to quickly dash over to Dot's to decode... or maybe I'm telegraphing the solution...?

    Morse code over a circa 1920 Marconi wireless system is in fact the only legitimate way to listen to anything.

    Well, your grammar and spelling are ok. I was referring more to your decadent use of upper case and line spacing. :)
