It seems that WMR has gone forever.And also the op's horde of SW receivers,not to mention his IT equipment! A tragic waste,imo!

Eh.. Who is Stan, and who is his good source. Do tell me more..

The web server was on and off on Sunday, and gave up altogether on Monday was it... Not back as of today, wed, and I haven't found out why yet. I assumed maintenence, but that is a couple of days.

:?: :?: :?: I belive that it is not the WMR fake that is going about,
but someone close to WMR who holds a grude..the information i recieved
saying WMR had sufferd a raid was false and any other information from this so called "insider" will be treated with a pinch of salt.
So it seems scottish Free radio is alive and well.

It may be,as Stan says,"alive and well".But if its website continues to be disabled I won't be able to listen to WMR's unusual programmes here in the PRC.That is because the only way for me to do so is via live streaming,which requires access to the WMR website.
I wonder if that site has been disabled due to nonpayment of site fees by WMR.If that's indeed the case,do the right and proper thing (pay the website owner asap) to get the audio back on the net.
But who is Stan (the man?),perhaps the most recent new member?Maybe we'll never know.Even so,he has joined on account of my having started this thread;so it wasn't a bad thing for me to have done so: the more members,the better,even anonymous ones! :)

WMR site back on.....

Post by wmrscotland »

As of today, Thursday, WMR site back on. The server was off while there was major work taking place, but all back to normal... (What's normal with WMR..hi)

This week's shows are still there for a couple of days for distant listeners.

Glad to hear you can listen in over there Jock.

Thank you all for your concern, because I have had folks contacting me by phone this last couple of days. Thank for your support and kind words.

Jack
