I was listening to the Met Opera's broadcast of Fidelio Saturday when out of the blue came that short musical phrase that Radio Deutsche Welle used to plink out on the celesta.

The familiar tune was used as its interval signal on shortwave to assist listeners tuning in.

I never knew where that little tune came from! Why, it's Beethoven, of course.

And now it's been stuck in my head all weekend.

The German national broadcaster has a nice write-up on the evolution of the DW signature tune. H/T The SWLing Post.

"DW has long since evolved from a radio broadcaster to a multimedia provider.

"Its signature tunes have also been produced for television and online programs and formats.

"With each new production, the basic tune has evolved and by now contains only fragments of the original yet maintains its spirit."

National Public Radio feature on Willis Conover, by Scott Simon on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, sometime in 1987. Willis Conover was the longtime radio DJ/host of the Voice of America Jazz Hour and other music programs on the VOA shortwave service. He was very well known internationally, especially behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, tho he was virtually unknown in the US. He died in May 1996 at age 75.

Jag svepte en stark kopp kaffe.
Slog till på två LilyGO T-Echo.
En till mig, en till min granne.
Nu är jag otroligt förväntansfull.
För frågan är: bor vi just på gränsen till att kunna kommunicera med de andra noderna i Göteborg. Eller är vi den förfärliga radioskuggan jag förfarar!?
