Another listener at Node 07. Some people did seem to get quite into it and the feedback was quite overwhelmingly positive.

Hivenetwork crew, from left to right: Wolfgang Hauptfleisch, Alexei Blinov, Cieron Edwards. Do they look happy? Yes. Are they tired? I guess so, especially Wolfgang who had to come down to Southampton the day before to solve some last minute problems.

The three ladies in this image either work for Southampton City Council heritage services or support the OHU as a volunteer. They took their time to listen into each node and apparently enjoyed it.

test 1-2-1-2, it works!

Well, I guess it's a variation on a theme, those nondescript boxes on light poles. They are pretty hard to photograph which is maybe the reason why I took so many images of them; another reason might be that I was so happy to see them up there and hear them working.

The box in the image is node 07 and it plays stories about food of the poor and aspects of domestic life. For some reason this node has one of the best receptions, acoustically speaking -- it can be heard clearly from quite far away.

Radios of this type were available for hire at the launch. They are still available through the tourist office where you also get a map and a feedback form.
