Bob Thomann and Bob Zanotti, better known as The Two Bobs formerly of Swiss Radio International, have been friends with Jeff White for decades. Jeff started out as a shortwave listener, and then got into HF broadcasting himself, originally with a project called Radio Earth, and then later as the owner and operator of WRMI (Radio Miami International) based in Miami, Florida. He has also served as president of the US-based National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters (NASB).<\/p>\n

In August 2010 Jeff White was in Switzerland for a meeting of the High Frequency Coordinating Committee (HFCC), which he organized, and he took the opportunity to pay a visit to Bob Zanotti in the Emmental. Bob Thomann joined them for a one-hour chat about the HFCC and the future of HF broadcasting.<\/p>\n

You can find the interview in The Two Bobs menu on www.switzerlandinsound.com<\/a>. This special programme will also air on PCJ Radio<\/a> and some of the partner stations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to RNW Media Network<\/a> and PCJ Media<\/a> for bringing this to my attention.<\/p>\n

PCJ Media, by the way, has a long line-up of amazing radio-related shows to hear. It’s become quite the collection of new programs and nostalgia as well. Check out their website for more info<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
