I reckon you'd get 6RTH as well.

Possibly. Pretend it's the latest Nokia :)

I reckon too - if Tyranus can get it from his workplace, shall we make it a Tic Hill party when we get our calls?

The archivists (who I work with) would probably be more interested in a radio than a new mobile - the older the better :)

A few others here are on air during the day. Bring some chips and coke!

I used to service some microfilm gear up there in the belfry. I don't remember anyone specifically but I remember I liked visiting, which means the people were nice, because the gear was cr@p :-) Possibly the same vintage as the radios they like.

Yep, that's my workplace - you've captured it perfectly! We still have the microfilm stations (probably the same ones as you encountered) - my gig is the slow conversion to digital...
