Medium Wave Circle announces historic CD archive

Steve Whitt writes: The Medium Wave Circle has been publishing Medium Wave News for more than 50 years but only recently has MWN been available in a fully electronic format.

Now that is all about to change!

The Circle has been extremely busy converting its unique paper archive into electronic form. Sadly, no paper copies survive from the earliest years of the club but now even the rarest paper copies from the 1950s onwards will be acessible to everyone.

We have scanned every issue into pdf files which are now available on CD to anyone interested in MW listening or indeed in radio history.

Looking at copies from 30, 40 or 50 years ago gives a facsinating insight into what was achieved using much more basic equipment than today. It also shows how much has been learned over subsequent years.

What is perhaps amazing is that some of the names that pop up in the early issues are still appearing in Medium Wave News in the 21st century.

We are now ready to take orders for the seven archive CDs that span four decades. The CDs will be despatched from December 1st so you should have them in good time for Christmas.

For full details of these CDs including pricing and how to securely order them online click here http://mwcircle.org/mcd.htm

We hope you enjoy this journey through the unique history of the Circle.
