Plaza De Pedro Zerolo
The plaza de Pedro Zerolo is a public square located in the centre of Madrid, Spain. History and description It lies on the Centro District, most specifically in the administrative neighborhood of Justicia. It is considered part of Chueca. It was created around 1836, as the plot formerly occupied by the convent of Capuchinos de la Paciencia was planted with elms and acacias. The square, known as the "plaza de Bilbao", was populated in the 1860s with conifers and magnolias. In 1931, in order to avoid the repetition of placenames, the square was renamed to "plaza de Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla", in honor of the noted republican politician. Following the end of the Civil War in 1939, the new Francoist administration toyed with the idea of renaming the square after Onésimo Redondo (a Fascist politician who had died in the war) or using the name of "Capuchinos de la Paciencia" (in a nod to the predecessor of the square), but in 1940 the authorities ruled the reset of the name to "plaz ...

Radio Club Tenerife
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter.
