Starting next Monday (January 13) the BBC World Service will be broadcasting a multiweek serial of Dr. Who "adapted for radio from the popular television series." Each week will have a new 15 minute segment and the show is broadcast 3 times a week. Here is the schedule, and frequencies on which the BBC should be audible in North America... DAY TIME FREQUENCIES Mon 0445 6120, 6175 Tue 2100 6175, 15260 Wed 1115 5965, 6195, 11775 Times are in UTC, or what the BBC fondly calls "Greenwich Mean Time." UTC is 5 hours ahead of EST, 8 hours ahead of PST. Note that the first showing is either late Sunday night or the wee hours of Monday morning depending on where you are in North America.

While I'm at it, does anyone happen to have any of the ancient Dr. Who radio shows, such as the ones which Tom Baker and Lis Sladen did in the mid-70's (well, that's not really so ancient...). . ------- |-----| A.

Now if I can only pick it up on my little-used shortwave radio.... >Times are in UTC, or what the BBC fondly calls "Greenwich Mean Time." UTC = Universal time coordinate. This is the time the atomic clocks keep -- the signals are broadcast constantly at 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15MHz, and 25 MHz. Great for synchronizing your watch. (On a sidenote, CBS is the only American network that broadcasts tones for the hour and half-hour: one tone (A=440?) at 00:00 and tones at 30:00 and 30:02). If only the Doctor's TARDIS could be so accurate... :-) -- ____ ^ ____ |_ _|/ \|_ _| Jim Poltrone (a/k/a Poltr1, \ \/ \/ / the Last of the Raster Blasters) \/ ^ \/ / / \ \ uucp: [decvax,watmath,rocksvax]!sunybcs!acsgjjp / /___\ \ ARPAnet: acsgjjp%buffalo@CSNET-RELAY /___________\ csnet: acsgjjp@BUFFALO _/ /_ _\ \_ BITNET: ACSGJJP@SUNYBCS, ACSGJJP@SUNYABVA |_____| |_____|

Sorry -- false alarm -- I didn't realize it was "Slipback" they were broadcasting. In that case, I'm in no trouble... > ...While I'm at it, does anyone happen > to have any of the ancient Dr. Who radio shows, such as the ones > which Tom Baker and Lis Sladen did in the mid-70's (well, that's > not really so ancient...).
