Radio TechCon will return to IET London: Savoy Place this month with a programme that places radio technology, engineering and international collaboration at its centre

The pips have been heralding the news and giving accurate time on BBC Radio for 100 years - but why do they exist? How do they work? And what is the nature of time itself?

I'll be there, will you?

Come and have a chat at Olympia stand D22 where you can see the latest sound mixing desks from DHD audio GmbH. We are showing the RM1, a full capability broadcast desk in a small, USB powered box, and you use any touch-screen device with a browser to control it.

It's not every day one of my friends publishes a proper book, so I had to buy a copy. Sonic Pasts by @marianajlopez.bsky.social and sonic present by me.

There's still time to buy tickets for @radiotechcon.bsky.social on Monday in London. Swanky venue, clever people talking about cool stuff, and a quiz at the end. That's just after me wittering about 100 years of the pips.

Some discussion of future DTT switch-off at #DTGSummit. Don't panic, in 2009 we were told analogue radio would switch off in 2015!

I first heard Spooky Men's Chorale at WOMAD several years ago, with @greavsie.bsky.social but I've only just discovered their "Dancing Queen". Give it a try. music.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgr0...

There's still time to get your ticket for Radio Tech Con, at the #IET in London on 27th November. It's a brilliant, friendly, inclusive radio technology conference for everyone, not just engineers! #radiotechcon
