Follow Rudolf on the Radio
This year you can follow Operation Rudolf 2009 as it moves slowly bringing Christmas cheer.
As in past years you can hear it on radio 4CA,AM ( 846AM). But as well if you have a UHF radio you can listen in on Channel 40 and you will be able to locate and get the latest up to date information on how the convoy is progressing.
So now there are 2 ways to follow Rudolf, with Steve Ahmet on 4CA AM Radio, and if you have a UHF radio listen into Channel 40.
