Thank you so much for once again visiting Reporting From The Fox Tower.

I do hope you are enjoying these posts, looking back to the days when shortwave broadcasts were heard from all over the world - Some still are.

I hope these posts also provide a fitting tribute to some of the stations, presenters, transmission sites no longer on air - Voice of the Mediterranean [VoM], as featured in this post, was based in Malta, originally broadcasting via a Deutsche Welle facility on Malta, until that closed in the mid 1990's. The above broadcast from VoM was most likely to have been heard via transmitters in Rome.

Broadcasts from Malta fell silent early 2004, but I do hope the texts and images from the likes of VoM in these posts do give you a feel for those broadcasts.

Magnificat

My most grateful thank you to WEWN, Worldwide Catholic Radio, A Shortwave service of EWTN, Global Catholic Network, for the above image and the following text.

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; Because he has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; for, behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; Because He Who is mighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His Name; And his Mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him. He has shown might with His Arm, He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has given help to Israel, His servant, mindful of His Mercy, even as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity forever. Amen.
