Jim's Radio Site

The home for my various radio projects past, present & future

Hello - I'm Jim Salmon - radio enthusiast, anorak, ham, founder of (possibly) the shortest lived UK community station, short wave listener, hobby programme maker, & looking forward to future radio projects yet to be dreamed up... I hope you find something of interest on these pages - my apologies for the somewhat self-indulgent nature of this site, however I wanted to group together my various radio hobby projects in one place & am sharing them here in case they are of appeal to others!

It has been fun looking back 30+ years, & has sparked up thoughts for future ideas!
