Ending an era: Radio Prague signs off on shortwave

Mike Barraclough reports that a special broadcast commemorating the ending of Short Wave transmissions from Radio Prague is now available online.

On the Monitoring Monthly Yahoo group he writes:

Special programme Ending an era: Radio Prague signs off on shortwave is now online.

Includes two recordings from 1937 and two from 1968 during the Soviet invasion, also an interview with Oldrich Cip, now head of the High Frequency Co-ordination Committee. He did the DX programme in the 1960's, on air name Peter Skala. It's where I first heard about shortwave having come across Prague's English broadcast when tuning around the medium wave band.
