Dennis Powell has news about a new type of rating system to find out what motorists are listening to. It is called Audiscan. Universal Shortwave has set up an electronic bulletin board and Dxers Directory. Fred Osterman explains. Remember this is about 10 years before the Internet was opened up to the general public.
