Re: The BBC Apollo coverage tapes
I've mentioned this before on here, but when I stayed up to watch the Apollo 11 landing, I just couldn't abide the inane wittering of Burke et al on the BBC.
So I watched the picture on the TV, but listened to Voice of America on shortwave (on my PCR3 receiver), which simply transmitted the communication between Mission Control and the spacecraft, completely free from the ramblings of some reporter who felt obliged to fill in any moment of silence whether he had anything useful to say or not.
Did anybody else here listen on VoA?
