G'day Alex.
Thanks. You got me thinking - the idea of following an eclipse on the radio. At first it sounded a bit like the "tree falling in the forest" thing but of course it really hasn't been that long since the radio was all we had. I remember clearly listening to my first Saturn C5 rocket liftoff way back when and being awed by the event - well before ubiquitous instant visuals.

So thanks for both the appreciation and the reminder of simpler days.

Peter
