THE WORLD RADIO AND TELEVISION HANDBOOK (one of the definitive sources of information on commercial stations) is available from most big libraries and large bookstores. THE RADIO AUTHORITY have a pocket book (containing commercial radio stations, maps, etc.) available free of charge (contact the press officer, Tracey Mullins, Tel.: 071 4302724, Fax: 071 4057062). The MAPLIN CATALOGUE lists FM stations before the section on FM ariels (this section also contains transmitter power information). Lastly, the MANUAL for a fitted stereo in a new car should have a list of BBC and ILR stations. ===================================================================== ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ===================================================================== Many thanks to all those who contributed lists, suggested alternative sources, or offered corrections to the lists: Chris Boots Simon Collings Mike Cowgill James Cridland John Gray Trevor Jenkins David Johns Risto Kotalampi Danny McLaughlin Leigh Preece Daniel Rigal Steve Taylor David Wooding Ian Young -- Dr.David Wooding (wooding@cardiff.ac.uk) UWCM, Cardiff, Wales, UK ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Mornington Crescent List: send email with the words subscribe mornington-crescent (in message body) to majordomo@mono.city.ac.uk
