No apologies for my high voice. Media Network was just a few months old and I had been at Radio Nederland for just over a year. This program was recorded 33 years ago when having a radio with a digital readout was a luxury. People were also trying to develop the dream shortwave receiver, which included Karl Braun, a specialist receiver manufacturer in West Germany.
Another very interesting edition. The talk about the effects of nuclear attack on radio propagation is scary, but perfectly in tune with the times.
The idea suggested here, that such an attack would be much greater than just one warhead, was thankfully one to which Mr Petrov subscribed in 1983 when he saw apparent missiles on his radar screen.
