In the 1950's and 1960's short wave radio was important for outback Western Australian communities with no local radio medium wave or fm radio. As a child and teenager I can remember listening on medium wave when they were opening and closing the various short wave stations - If my memory serves me well they were something like VCX6 or VCW or something very similar.
In the 1990's I lived with my family for a while in Java Indonesia, and the Javanese Language word for north was 'Lor'.
Why Misplaced Pages
Like Scroogle and other open source/away from the monopoly sources on the net, wikipedia appears to be a brilliant project that needs to liberate itself from any semblance of centralising or geographically narrow views of the world.
The writer
As I am starting - still prefer as much anonymity while trying to learn the ropes of what a good wiki page is like!
Also - trying still to get a handle on wiki culture and standards. Finding the use of headings specially a good way of organising information.
Am learning some of the issues about making items for west coast tasmania which i lived at/in in the mid 1970's (oh dear a clue to my age) probably before most of my online edit/cleanup persons were even glints in the eyes, let alone ankle biters.
Nevertheless I am still starting, with an eye on the time that I must be careful of!!
