Here’s the audio of Test Cards on Radio that was broadcast to Europe earlier today via the services of Shortwave Gold. The show is an absolute must for fans of test cards and TV trade test transmissions alike and features all kinds of frequency tones for screen calibration purposes and test card related music from around the world. The show features DJ Frederick Moe and Justin Patrick Moore and at 09.49 in is a mix from One Deck Pete called “A Trade Test Transmission”.
The tracks are:
Test Card – Let Single Sideband Loneliness Receivers Be Happy
TV2 – Antenna
Young Marble Giants – Posed by Models
Billy Hope – Riding West
Stereolab – Flourescences
S.N.R.T.M – Mire B/Mire Test son

Have a listen to the show and calibrate your TV set at the same time!

If you remember recently, we had a post about cacti after our friend in Ukraine, Wlad (US7IGN) sent us some pictures of his cacti here. A big thanks to Debby H for passing on some great pictures from her friends in Arizona of some super examples of cacti out there.

The pictures she passed on include a couple from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum near to Tucson which looks such a great place. See more about their cacti garden and the many interesting plants they have here and here.

Thanks again to Debby H for passing on the pictures and we’ll post up another couple later this week. All we can say cacti are great!

Spring must be here now!

Thanks to Mike G and his partner Julia for sending us a couple more pictures of their garden near Coventry again this week. What we thought was a great looking brick wall is actually decking (above) and we love the raised bedding and can spy a great looking poppy getting ready to flower if we’re not wrong.

And look at their well colourful trees and bushes (below). They’re looking good Mike and Julia! Keep sending us those pics of your great garden. It really is good to see how other people garden. If you want to send us some pictures of your garden, balcony or windowsill gardening exploits drop us an email to one deck pete at gee mail dot com.
