Too bad! Norway abandoning FM Radio transmission as 2017





Bad news for the FM radio lovers. Indeed, FM radio transmission is being progressively dismissed in favor of digital radio. This should sound like a progress but I feel it like a loss!

Indeed, if FM radio transmission and reception needs a pretty limited amount of electronic components. This "easy access" played a fundamental role in the past (think of the famous "Radio Londres" service of BBC during the II world war and to the multitude of homemade receivers). Digital radio receivers won't have the same accessibility degree since they need more sophisticated electronics.

According to BBC (see here) Norway will be the first country to stop FM transmissions. Hope the others will follow as later as possible!

Hey, dear deciders!
I just achieved my FM radio library for Arduino, please let us enjoy it!!!
