Congratulations. Things have certainly changed in the last decade! Does anyone know if BRI,WMR, Subterranean, Armadillo, etc, have completely given up or could one day make a return?

Good question? Maybe one of them will get the urge to dust off their transmitter and fire it up again - assuming they haven't sold it off.

The websites for BRI (http://britainradio48.atspace.com/html/index.html) and WMR (http://www.wmrscotland.com/) still exist.

Are there any other stations listeners would like to see make a return to shortwave?

I was driving near Wrekin Radio's location not too long ago. What became of them?

Armadillo still uses his transmitter quite regularly, but he now only seems to be relaying a couple of stations on the same frequency....will leave you to guess which ones though!

WRI closed down a few years ago
