Early UK radio broadcasting

A new website MT2radio celebrates the early years of radio  broadcasting in the UK.

With the 90th anniversary of the Dame Nellie Melba broadcast due in June,  Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) member, Jim Salmon  2E0RMI has made his own small tribute with a new website that  celebrates the early years of radio broadcasting.

The site includes documentaries to listen to or download, YouTube videos, a  'radio tuner' page and features 'Chelmsford Calling' which is a Webradio service  playing easy listening and vintage music.

Jim hopes to add further recordings over the coming months. See the new MT2  site at http://www.mt2radio.co.uk/

Dame Nellie Melba made her famous broadcast from station MZX at the Marconi  New Street site in Chelmsford on June 15, 1920. The Chelmsford Amateur Radio  Society are celebrating the anniversary with the special event station GB90MZX, see
