DLT's A Jolly Good Show During 1994-2001

Seeing as the blogger doesn't let me update my Link List - Radio Archives today (see the below post), am posting my DLT's A Jolly Good Show Playlist.


Will be updated.

Can't Update Link List on Blogger

Complain time.

Another major hiccough on google - the  blogger Link List doesn't update as of today, specifically on this very blog. You hit Save and it does nothing.

Nothing ever works properly across all of google bug after bug after bug bugs you.

UPDATE: one day later 18.08.2016 and it works again. Thank you googles. 

DLT 4 A Jolly Good Show

Edition 4 of my collection of DLT's Jolly Good Shows broadcast on the BBC World Service during the period 1994-2001.



And I finally managed to date the show precisely. It is December 1994, probably the last week of December 1994 coming up to the New Year 1995.

This means that the previous 3 editions were also 1994. Probably December 1994.

A Jolly Good Show by DLT 1995 3

Edition 3 from my collection of the DLT-presented A Jolly Good Show -s from the period 1994 to 2001, the latter third to half of the show's life (but of course not all of them).


I have many more (about 40 in all) and might upload.


Brain of Britain BBC World Service 1998

Three episodes of the 1998 Brain of Britain as heard on BBC World Service.





I don't think there will be more as I probably didn't record any more.

But there is plenty of other stuff in my tape library.

Stay tuned and watch this place...well, I mean listen.

2001 Communications World on VOA

A little bit from some 2001 edition of Kim Elliott's Communications World broadcast on the Voice of America (VOA).





My Radios: Sony ICF-SW11

Here is another radio from my battery of consumer world radios.


Bought in 2007.


It is a portable analog radio (with 9SW, MW, LW and FM bands) so you shouldn't expect much from it in terms of functionality, also the analog tuning dial has its very obvious limitations, like being unable to determine exactly the frequency you tuned in to or being unable to tune precisely to a given frequency.


That said, I liked its shortwave reception when I used it a bit soon after I bought it, and thought that it was pretty good on shortwave, all things considered.


However it then developed a major problem with the tuning dial - the pointer first refused to move - then recently regained that ability but the range is shifted upwards somewhat but it doesn't seem to affect ability to tune itself. Described in below video in Russian.




Also it seems now that its reception ability has deteriorated now - 9 years after it was bought.

DLT's A Jolly Good Show 1 1995

Continuing to explore the low depths of my tape library of radio reception, and here is A Jolly Good Show presented by the well-known, if now somewhat disgraced, DJ Dave Lee Travis, aka DLT.

This one is likely a December 1995 edition.


I have more - about 40 more - spanning the period from 1994 to 2001 (end of the show) and intend to dub them and upload too in due time.
