"Coming up, the midnight news summary..."

[billfromnorthwales]

Just downloaded and heard a bit. Sounds real good quality - Thanks 
Ken.

Don't know why you had so much hiss? Usually that technique of 
recording with Dolby B on, and playing back with Dolby off gives a 
nice little treble boost without too much hiss.

Anyway, now comes the bit I like best...playing the full 2 hour show, 
and getting all the surprises as they come along, not least what the 
news and sport were on that day
