**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Etniers: Every year I get extremely stressed out before the listening comp. Naturally, we make sure to have enough radios, and we try to tune them in to the right station, but there are those minutes just before the broadcast begins, when at least in some rooms, no one is sure if the right station is tuned in. Then once the instructions begin, there are only a few seconds to tune to the right station. I would like to suggest that 5 - 10 minutes before the broadcast of the listening, the radio station should broadcast some sort of sign of the upcoming broadcast. If they don't want to spend 5 or 10 minutes of air time broadcasting, "You are tuned to Reshet Aleph, in a few minutes, the Bagrut listening comprehension passage will be broadcast. or something to that effect, perhaps the signal can be a prearrange, easily recognizable song - like "We are the Champions" - anything that will help us tune in and know we are at the right place. ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
