 WELCOME
TO MDS975. Thank you for taking
time
to visit! If you like our page we'd love to hear from you!APPEAL: If you have any vintage audio from BRMB Radio or Mercia Sound please do contact us !! MDS975 is a personal website devoted to our various interests which include pussycats, radio and broadcasting, amateur radio (my callsign is MØMTJ), music and vinyl records, a little bit of photography (you can see some of our photographs in the gallery), computers, and some other favourite things. You will find links to the other pages on the left hand side of this page and via further navigation from our site map. Newly added is The Blog - a space for various ramblings, thoughts, announcements and questions! We changed our web hosting in 2009 and hence the address of our site, the u.r.l., and all its pages changed, you can read more about this further down this page here. We really hope that you enjoy your visit, and hope that you will put a link to this site on your home page if you do. Tell your friends! Our address is http://www.mds975.co.uk Jules and I enjoyed an amazing holiday on the Royal Caribbean ship Jewel Of The Seas in June 2009. See some of our photographs here. Our Wedding & Honeymoon in Canada I am very pleased to be able to announce that Julie and I got married in November 2008. (She did not know what she was letting herself in for!!) You can see our honeymoon photographs in Western Canada here and some photographs from our wedding day here. Amateur Radio Exam I am also pleased to say that I passed the first of my Amateur Radio exams on 2nd March gaining the call sign M3WNQ . After some more hard work I passed the Intermediate exam and received the Intermediate Licence call sign of 2EØMDS. After a great deal more study I sat the final Advanced exam 22nd May 2008. I learned that I had passed on 26th June 2008, obtaining my new callsign MØMTJ . Read more here. Why Not Get Out Your Record Collection? Have

Norway & Fjords Cruise In 2006 Jules and I enjoyed a fabulous holiday to the Norwegian Fjords on board the wonderful cruise ship Arcadia. You can see our photographs here. Canada We also enjoyed a superb holiday in Toronto, Canada. In March we eventually (!) added some of the photographs that we took. You can view our selection here. Radio & Memorabilia As
my other longstanding interests include radio broadcasting, I am
gradually bringing together a small collection of radio related
material
including a history of radio and other memorabilia. I have
also
added some pages about crystal sets and other simple radio related
circuits.
You can see our visit to Washford in Somerset here, and also a collection photographs of Malta's Masts here taken during our holiday in Malta in April 2004. We also have tribute to some favourite radio stations of yesteryear, including favourites BRMB and Mercia Sound. Additional radio goodies and memorabilia are gathered in the AIRWAVES section in the form my own writings together with a selection of old documents, photographs and accounts published by radio broadcasting organisations that we hope you'll find interesting. It is hoped that this section will be gradually expanded as time allows, but please also visit my section "UK Radio - A Brief History", located in the Radio Stations and Memorabilia section which details the history of radio from 1920 and includes a section covering Pirate Radio in the UK. Apart
from radio, there are other subjects here too including the afore
mentioned cats and dogs for we animal lovers, a page of sundials which
I
find fascinating and a section of 'Other
Stuff'
including a
page of
some
funny pictures and jokes.
Our Website We
hope that you will
find our
little web site interesting and trust that
you will also find everything in working order. If you do
happen
to find anything that does not work as expected, such as a broken link
or missing photograph for example, please do let us know and we will
fix it. We'd like to hear from you anyway, of course, and you
can
reach us via the contact
page.
May I take this opportunity to thank Julie for all her help and support while working on putting our website together. Admittedly most of the content concerns my own hobbies and interests, but the pages devoted to some of our holiday photographs, cats and dogs and especially our cat Tabetha are things we both love. SO: We hope you enjoy our pages, please feel free to browse around and we hope that you will find some things that are of interest, especially if you are a mast fan, radio nut, vinyl addict or as mad about cats as we are! Building
a website has been surprisingly time consuming and seems to be a job
that is never finished - there is always something more to add, be it a
new photograph or an idea for a new page!
Competition Question: How did this website get its name? Answer: The answer is contained somewhere within this site. So go on, have a look around! [Spell checker broken - dictionary lost - brains all mush! In fact someone called me and asked "Where's your grammar? I replied "She's in the kitchen making a pot of tea".] Thanks for popping in. Tell your friends and please do come back again soon.
