Weekend Music Radio (WMR) / Good Ship Venus (GSV)

As you know, recently there have been a number of broadcasts from Scotland's only current "free" shortwave music stations, Weekend Music Radio and the Good Ship Venus. Jack of WMR and Jim of GSV for the foreseeable future both stations will broadcast less frequently. They want you to know that programmes from WMR and GSV will be broadcast maybe once or twice a month, or more often if time permits or maybe not, see below:

This message was left on Irish Paul's Blog: "Hi Paul just to let you know that GSV & WMR will be cutting down their broadcasts to once or twice a month or may close due to a swl with a big mouth and an even bigger ego and not worth the risk ..... feel free to publish that on your blog cheers, Jim"

A great loss to the Hobby radio scene if they close down, I am sure you will agree.
