There were only 4 editions of the long running Letterbox on the beta site but they have been transferred over, includes the final edition. None of World Radio Club in the archives unfortunately. <\/em><\/p>\n

Many thanks for the tip, Mike! I’m happy the BBC is making their archives even more accessible as a part of their strategic plan. Please let us know if you note any other\u00a0archives of interest!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
