I sent this message to my colleague Martien, and this is what he says: In the process of digitizing the tapes we are planning at this time to put more material online as a kind of extra broadcast. Most tapes of Happy Station are part of the regular archive and on the way to being heard again. Around the World in 20 days will have more episodes soon, but because those episodes are only the editing tapes they contain no music. Probably Eddy slotted the music in his text. That way programmes like A Listeners' Salute (1959?) will be much more interesting to listen to: people sent their own tapes and added the music of their country. The tapes are already digitised but the administration process is not finished yet.
I am very pleased that Jonathan's material is also noticed. Hopefully Jonathan's first DX-show (when it was still called DX Jukebox) will be online in a few weeks time. (already done see below) For DX-ers who can understand Bahasa Indonesia the blog contains a lot of material of 1997-1999 from Dx-Komunikasi. It is a very interesting period because the radio stations in Indonesia became more free and Asbari Krishna followed this process. If people want to hear MP3-files of those entries I'm happy to please them, hopefully in return for a short description of the programme in English :-) Martien Sleutjes Radio Netherlands Worldwide (Andy Sennitt, DX Listening Digest Yahoo group) First DX Juke Box already online, acc. to msg rcvd from Martien Sleutjes. "B471945 DX Juke Box : [main item:] Sovjet Union & Radio Afghanistan / 1980-08-14" is waiting for your approval http://blogs.rnw.nl/haa/b471945-dx-juke-box-main-item-sovjet-union-radio-afghanistan-1980-08-14 (Horacio Nigro. ibid) Indeed it is. I remember Martien asking me about that some months ago, but I didn't realise it was already accessible outside the RNW building :-) Well worth a 30 Mb download. Includes the voices of the late Pete Myers, a hugely popular figure at RNW in the 1980's, and the late Richard Ginbey who was tragically killed in a car crash.
