Valves, Cricket and driving on the continent...

I'm certainly not having this!
Good Lord, I don't mind my missionary work here in the dark end of the continent but I am damned if I am going to tolerate the removal of The Today Programme and regular deliveries of Yorkshire Tea. It's the only thing that keeps me from insanity (some would say too late). These valves must be preserved, if not then the transmitter must be replaced with some kind of (ugh) transistor radio alternative. I'll just have to live with the reduction in quality.

It goes a good bit further than the article suggests - I have heard the Archers (!) all the way up the coast of the former Yugoslavia and back in the Radio 2 long wave days I heard Virginia Wade win her semi final at Wimbledon - I was half way up a mountain in Corfu. It was a great pleasure to trundle gently through France listening to England V Sri Lanka. DAB won`t do any of that.

One is open to suggestions with regards to whom the strongly worded letter should be addressed.

Miserable news, esp. when there is actually no shortage of new-production water-cooled triodes available for transmitter use well into the 1MW+ range.
A concerted DIY effort may be required however, resources are currently allocated to finalise the Jonners-and-cake emulator. Current work on a satisfactory directly -heated-snigger without snubbing is proving difficult.
