BBC Radio today - a collection
There was a brief report of the Nicholas Logsdale radio collection today. Would love to see it all though!
It's here at : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17608123 Stephen |

If you are looking for more info the fellow's name is spelt: Nicholas Logsdail
Must admit I'd not heard of him before. |

Re: BBC Radio today - a collection
Thanks for posting this Stephen,
My son telephoned me this morning to say "Dad, there is something on Radio 4 now, about old radios". By the time I had switched on it had finished but thanks to you I have been able to enjoy it. Colin M |

Re: BBC Radio today - a collection
This article on the web quotes him as claiming "I put together one of the biggest collections of radios that exists in the U.K." so where can we see it, and why isn't he a Forum member?!
I don't suppose his collection comes close to Gerry's though... or Howard's, or Jeffrey's, or Steve P's...

Re: BBC Radio today - a collection
My collection is small. Definitely only in double figures even if you include radio and TV.

Re: BBC Radio today - a collection
Are the double figures in hexadecimal or binary?
