Coppers Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Did anyone catch Chris' BBC interview/discussion today? Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I can't pick it up where I live. Did you Coppers? Quote
Coppers Posted June 25, 2004 Author Posted June 25, 2004 I'm located in the US, Jon, so I don't think I'd have any better luck at receiving the broadcast than you did. What areas/countries does it reach? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 It's Three Counties radio so thats broadcasted to Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire I think Quote
william Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I can't pick it up either Can anyone on here pick it up? As far as I know, no one can, bt I may be wrong Quote
Sylvester Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I can't pick it up either Can anyone on here pick it up? As far as I know, no one can, bt I may be wrong Unless they are in Bucks, Herts and Bed then they can.But i'm in Yorks so i can't either. I have trouble picking up Hallam FM (From other side of my city), but i can pick up Minster FM all the way from York...? what#! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I can pick up a french radio station on LW168 all the way up in Lancashire! Quote
Sylvester Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Ah well longwave is totally understandable, i've picked up French Stations before, but FM stations are shorter wavelength and don't travel nearly as far, better quality when you are near (Unlike MW and LW), but go one county away and it's totally gone.Or something like that.If i remember my Physics lessons correctly, FM shorter but more intense wavelength... LW = well longer wavelengths, the latter go further and don't get as much interruption. Quote
Master Jmd Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 It's Three Counties radio so thats broadcasted to Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire I think damn...i live right next to buckinghamshire, and i couldn't pick it up Quote

LW = well longer wavelengths, the latter go further and don't get as much interruption.I get french radio all the time but it is usually quite a faint signal. Btw, who on here has met one-another. I have met Chris, but that's it..... Edited June 26, 2004 by Half Penny Jon Quote
Master Jmd Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 I've met Geoff, but that's it. where did you meet geoff then william? Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 I would strongly reccomend if you can, you come to the LCF in november because it has absolutely everything. From groats to third farthings, from 1826 £5 to hammered pennies. Everything and enything is at the LCF. Also, if you go then you will meet Chris! Honestly, it was the best day out I have ever been on. There is just so many high grade coins. In fact, I went mad and doubled the value of my collection overnight! Seriously, if you need to complete a variety, date, type run, then the LCF is the best place to do it! Who can come? Quote
Sylvester Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Can you get an Ansell sovereign there?Also on my to watch for list...1694 & 1710 sixpences.And 1686 and 1687 half guineas to complete my half guinea set. Quote
william Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 When is it? I would really love to come, but london is about 200 or 300 miles away. Lets see, if I can nag my dad enough, he just might let me come, but I'd have to stay in a hotel or something for te night, as London is so far away... The chances are against me, but I'll ask Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 When I was there I saw a specialist sovereign dealer with an ansell sovereign....... Quote
Master Jmd Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Hmm...i have not considered the london coin fair yet...i will ask now......ok, my mum says maybe, but after my birthday, if i save up every week from 7th august - 6th November then i will only have £75 to spend...I think that i will mot go seeing as i can get most coins from Colin cooke and chris Quote

The chances are against me, but I'll ask The next fair is on Saturday 6th november. There are fairs in February, June, and November. It starts at 9.00AM and finishes sometime in the afternoon. You should come, it will be a great experiance...... Quote
Sylvester Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 When I was there I saw a specialist sovereign dealer with an ansell sovereign....... i really want one, can't afford one but i'd like to see one!Question is if you drop it will it break? And would it be wise to wash your hands after handling one... considering the stuff in there? (or is it non-toxic when alloyed?) Quote

I never thought I would get a BU GEM 1925ME half penny, but I did......... Quote

I think the people who have dropped them have been ver upset for a very long time........ Quote
