This week we’ve been browsing the web for things radio and Christmas related.
SYRG’s roving reporters stumbled upon this lovely little video on YouTube.
It brought a glow to our hearts and a tear to the eye 
Wishing you seasons greetings and good DX in 2011.

Thanks to you all – It’s been a great success!
We’ve broadcast over 5000 hours of audio and video from our TV page and had thousands of visitors tune in.
We’ve hit the bandwidth limit at Jeffs and had arguments on the Phone with BT.. and we’re still here!! Good fun..
Our D-STAR shack cam feed is still running 24/7 serving up audio and video on the D-STAR system at GB7YD.
We are also getting to grips with a mobile internet video camera to send live images to the site.
