just a little thread meant to be the unpopular radio sibling of the random tv observations thread.

just a couple of things i've noticed that are on this week that i thought others may be interested in:

radio 2 tuesday night (9th sept 2003)
documentary about black music in britain. first episode is all about the arrival of ska, reggae and calypso.

and one for the computer nerds:

radio 4 all week
book of the week: A Computer Called Leo. all about the Lyons Electronic Office, the first computer. developed by a company better known for making cakes.

General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS)

The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a land-mobile radio service available for short-distance two-way communications to facilitate the activities of an adult individual and his or her immediate family members, including a spouse, children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and in-laws (47 CFR 95.179). Normally, as a GMRS system licensee, you and your family members would communicate among yourselves over the general area of your residence or during recreational group outings, such as camping or hiking.
The FCC grants five-year renewable licenses for GMRS Systems. The individual licensee is responsible for the proper operations of the licensed GMRS system at all times.
