This entry takes us up to early February. Note: I will not be in the studio on Christmas Day, so there is no entry for that day.
The programme may be changed or suspended without notice, but not if I can help it.
News from the Independant News Network (INN) is broadcast at 5pm and 9pm, followed by a bulletin of sports news (5 pm) and rural news (9pm) and the weather from MetService.

At 6.30pm each Tuesday, an item is played from the "Vast Historical Archives of Wireless". I do not usually know what this item will be until just before it is played. Hence there is no listing for it.

Gidday followers,
I considered that gmail and Google blogging were relatively simple and quick.
I may have to change my mind about that. The new, latest, fastest pages are getting way too slow. All the "speeding up" that was done to Yahoo and Hotmail pages brought my usage of these pages almost to a standstill and I've since relinquished them on account of them being too slow. Is Google going the same way?

I also note that all blogs added after Google started making the adjustments have disappeared. and only earlier entries remain on the blog. Is this too a sign of a new improved service?
