Thanks to a feature on QRZ.com recently, I was alerted to the fantastic website, Radio Garden.com
This site is a big improvement on similar, earlier sites. You simply rotate the globe onto the region of interest, and all the radio stations - even local, low power FM ones, start playing, live, on your web browser. There is also, of course, a mobile phone app for it!
Whilst it's not quite as romantic as sitting in the dark in front of a dimly-lit SW receiver dial, it's nevertheless a great way for youngsters discovering global radio for the first time - and the rest of us - to broaden our horizons.
