Free radio wikipedia
Jonny of the Swedish Report Service has launched his latest project - a free radio wikipedia. The idea is that it will build up into a free radio resource listing stations past and present, offshore and land-based.
As he only unveiled it yesterday the wikipedia is looking rather empty but hopefully in time stations will visit and enter information about themselves. Free radio fans can also edit and add their own information, if they so wish.
If you want to visit the site, click on the Swedish Report Service link on this page or go to www.srs.pp.se
