    The Life and Times of Romana Alvarez

    Following the response from Romana's first appearance on WRF last year in the DX Special programme, here is the interview you have all been waiting for. It's taken some time to put together due to working schedules etc but we finally got there. Romana discusses her Spanish heritage background, and has included some of her favourite bits of music as well: Al Andalus  By Shane Ivers. A vibrant Flamenco track featuring Spanish guitar, castanets, and maracas, evoking sun-drenched Andalusian landscapes. Composed in 2019, this piece blends traditional Flamenco rhythms with Eastern influences. Available here:  https://www.silvermansound.com/free-music/al-andalus Guitar Piece with Flamenco Flair by Nick Panel. A solo guitar piece that merges classical guitar techniques with Flamenco flair. An original composition that showcases the versatility of the classical guitar within Flamenco styles. Available here:  https://pixabay.com/music/folk-classical-guitar-masterpiece-with-flamenco-flair-281573/   The Lively Dancer - Flamenco Guitar  by StudioKolomna. An upbeat Flamenco guitar track that captures the energy of traditional dance. An original composition reflecting the spirited nature of Flamenco performances. Available here:  https://pixabay.com/music/acoustic-group-the-lively-dancer-flamenco-guitar-247239/  Flamenco 2 by Johnny Harvester. An acoustic group performance that blends Flamenco rhythms with contemporary elements. An original composition that modernizes traditional Flamenco sounds. Available here:  https://pixabay.com/music/acoustic-group-flamenco-2-302761/ And a special thanks to Johnny Venezuela for producing the programme - as I'm sure you'll hear when you listen to the programme. As ever, please keep the emails coming in to wrf@mail.com. I read and respond to them all. From myself and Romana - thank you for listening!

  2. WRF - DXing Special - Part 1

    WRF - DXing Special - Part 1

    Today’s show is going to be about “My Experience with DXing" – listening to radio stations from around the world. There’ll be little stories about things I’ve heard, mainly on shortwave radio. And we’ll be hearing from some old-time favourite short wave radio stations I recorded way back in 1978. This will be a bit of radio nostalgia for me, and hopefully you'll be informed, educated and entertained with a brief introduction into the radio hobby of DXing. Please feel free to email me with comments and suggestions to wrf@mail.com

  4. MOVING HOUSE!

    MOVING HOUSE!

    Moving House! The time has come to pull up roots and hit the high road. Me & Mrs F have lived in our little apartment for over 20yrs. But due to rent increases and ever deteriorating air quality (which has resulted in me developing asthma, sinus problems & other respiratory seasonal issues) it's time to split this crazy scene daddyo. We are heading back to the frozen North! We are currently packing boxes - HURRAH! 😂 A few weeks ago, whilst out for a walk/jog thing by the river I did a little half hour podcast rambling on about it all.... it sounds like this...

    How To Unblock A Sink - Audio Podcast All Over - VIDEO PODCAST on Spotify ONLY

    How To Unblock A Sink - using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. We saw  this in a Readers Digest book and thought we'd give it a go! Remember  kids - don't try this at home without supervision! ;O) The basic chemical reaction is "acid +base = salt + water + CO2".  If you try this yourself PLEASE let me know how you get on - maybe even with a video reply of your own? ;) This is my first video podcast. I thought I would introduce myself by showing the video I originally uploaded on YouTube where it is has had over 73,000 views. It's not very long - but it is very popular! #howto #unblockasink #howtounblockasink #wrf #wonderfulradioflanagan #chemicalreaction #news #fun #hahaha #diy #doityouself
