Early UK radio broadcasting

A new website MT2radio celebrates the early years of radio broadcasting in the UK.

With the 90th anniversary of the Dame Nellie Melba broadcast due in June, Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) member, Jim Salmon 2E0RMI has made his own small tribute with a new website that celebrates the early years of radio broadcasting.

The site includes documentaries to listen to or download, YouTube videos, a 'radio tuner' page and features 'Chelmsford Calling' which is a Webradio service playing easy listening and vintage music.

Jim hopes to add further recordings over the coming months. See the new MT2 site at http://www.mt2radio.co.uk/

Dame Nellie Melba made her famous broadcast from station MZX at the Marconi New Street site in Chelmsford on June 15, 1920. The Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society are celebrating the anniversary with the special event station GB90MZX, see
