BARRY SEEBER (EX-RADIO AUSTRALIA) R.I.P.
We are sorry to have to pass on this message from Mike Bird in Australia:
"I am writing because I have just heard that my good friend and former
colleague at Radio Australia, Barry Seeber, passed away earlier today
after a 4 year battle with cancer. He was 65 years old. I produced Barry
in the mid 1980s when he was the presenter of RA's DX and communications
programme "Talkback". He retired from RA in 1997.
"Barry was one of the best broadcasters I ever worked with. His
professionalism and his beautiful voice were legendary. He was also one of
the most considerate and caring people I have ever had the honour to meet
and become friends with.
"I last met Barry in December 2007 when Sandy and I visited him in his
home in Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales. He was very sick but he
was still able to give us a smile. I know there are many people around the
world who will remember his name and his voice and will be saddened to
hear this news."
Andy Sennitt adds: Media Network joins Mike in offering condolences to
Barry's sister Glenda and his brother Ray, who both nursed and looked
after him through his illness. Thanks to Dave Onley for forwarding the
photo.

BENIN 1566 TWR Benin this morning Hi everyone, TWR Benin is coming fine
in the mornings before sunrise here in Finland. I got a nice signal on
1566 kHz between 0430-0500 UT in English. Before and after that the
transmission was in African languages. There was QRM from County Sound
Radio [low power UK] which was playing "Knock Knock Knocking on Heaven's
Door"! TWR Benin had gospel music at the same time.
