The Sound of Silence (or rather static)
Norway is switching off the FM-band,
here in this county it all died today at 11:11AM.
I celebrated the last few minutes by listening with this SONY ICF-SW7600, bought somewhere in Manhattan, on the East Side, some time during spring 1992.
It's been a faithful travelling companion, during my Istanbul years (mid nineties) Norwegian short wave radio was received with a quality of transmission that was equal to a transmitter across the street. These days it's all getting quieter and quieter.
I did a brief scan of the 31 meter SW a couple of days ago, and it's not much life there. Internet radio has taken over.
