In between all the hard work this year it was particularly nice to have been able to find time to attend the Radio Day in Amsterdam as an invited guest and a panel member. The antithesis of an academic conference, it was just a really interesting day, a chance to meet some people I hadn't seen for some time, and an opportunity to make some new friends. Plus, there was absolutely no preparation needed! Within hours of the day coming to an end, seventy-two pictures of the event had appeared on the web at http://www.offshore-radio.de/radioday/. Congratulations to the organisers, Hans Knott and Dr. Martin van der Ven, as well as to Robbie Owen for providing us with such an amusing commentary to his slide show! Robbie (pictured left) was quick to remind me that it was a phone call from me that was his first big break in radio. Hans is well known for his monthly radio report, sent via email. Noam Tal was recording interviews with us and some actuality for a TV report on the day. It's at http://www.offshoreradio.de/radioday/2006/vop-reunion.wmv and as you'll see, he had the good sense to edit out the bits with me in them.
