Last night I sent the link to the SWLing Droitwch item<\/a> to a former colleague. He replied this morning, reply below, and includes a couple of useful links. I\u2019m very sure the SWLing Post<\/em> knows about MB21.<\/p>\n

Thinking that maybe the item on Crowbourgh will be of interest to SWLing readers. It contains the \u2018magic\u2019 word \u201cAspidistra\u201d ! Lot of SW history there.<\/p>\n

[From my former colleague:]<\/p>\n

You\u2019re probably aware of the \u201cTricks of the Trade\u201d articles that Dave Porter has also published. http:\/\/bbceng.info\/Technical%20Reviews\/tott\/tott.htm<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dave was also able to provide some useful contacts for my mb21 colleague Martin Watkins who was compiling a page about the history of Crowborough. http:\/\/tx.mb21.co.uk\/gallery\/gallerypage.php?txid=2495<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thank you so much for the link to Dave Porter’s “Tricks of the Trade” and MB21! What a wonderful deep dive into radio history!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
