After the first transmission, MakrolabFM rebroadcasted a radio programme from Resonance 104.4FM in London.  We received their signal via their net.radio broadcast, connected the net.radio signal into our FM transmitter, and received the audio via our FM receiver, and recorded the output via the r a d i o q u a l i a powerbook.  The rebroadcasted programme was about the Autonomous Astronauts Association, and featured an interview with makrolab crew member, Ewen Chardronnet. Listen to the interview with Ewen below.
