Media Network Vintage Vault 2018-2019

We take you now to a Thursday in May 1986, when we did a lot "with" the public, ten years before e-mail was mainstream. The show starts with a report on the balloon hunt organised by the NOS Hobbyscoop programme. The interview is with the late Hans G. Janssen, with whom I worked on the BASICODE project. Then, Trevor Brook of Surrey Electronics (now editor http://www.radiojackie.com) reports from Spain on something he saw from his hotel balcony. He went off to find out more rather like a fox chasing chickens. Knowing this show had been found, he wrote back to me just a few days back. He writes. Here are a couple of photos that you are welcome to use. Shots with the mast are very rare. At the time I did the report, the ship was a kilometre offshore at Santander, an overcast evening and a drab rainy morning I seem to remember. Telephotos can't fix everything! The rest of the holiday had been solid sunshine." There's also a story on Radio Wapping in UK and Prof John Campbell review
