Pmr, Cb radio and Ham radio, Still very much alive. Although there are many free channels if you want to look for gaps .....lol
When you find the gap there's always a danger someone might fall through it so Simon take care.
Sometimes only the lack of adverts for funerals & wills makes music on BBCRadio3 different from ClassicFM - challenge for ScalaRadio
What's a radio?
