The clues...
Requests for help should normally include the clue itself, the number of letters in the answer, and details of any you already have. Any additional information or special instructions, common in Listener puzzles, should also be included.
Hints only, please, no answers.

The theme...
Help towards the theme may also be sought here. Those helping should aim for just a pointer towards what's needed, merely a gentle nudge in the right direction. Please avoid anything that would spoil the puzzle for others - and posts which reveal too much are likely to be removed.

There are many regulars on the Listener threads, but newcomers are always welcome.

The Listener is a unique puzzle and should be treated with respect.

Listener of the year so far for my tastes (your mileage may vary, especially if you're drxx!)

Superb stuff with quite a tricky endgame!

Yes, agreed nxe - can only admire the construction.

However i seem to have completed it, but without knowing exactly how to 29 the unnumbered entry...i only know the variations of 7 involved.

nxe - i have the final result, know the next item in set, where to put it etc.

so there is an intermediate pdm i will find in the process of 29ing the unnumbered entry? if so i will battle on - its not struck me yet!

nxe - i also know the message etc - the only thing eluding me is the specific 29 process (i know the final result).

andyp if I understand your situation, then you have everything you need, but just need to do two different instances of 29ing

correct nxe - and i know the start point, and the end point of the 29 process, and the variations of 7 to use, just not the specifics that get me from start point to end point.

Eventually have a full grid. 6a and 6d had me stumped for ages and, for me, "storage units" in 6a is stretching things a little. Now got a HUGE problem as I haven't got a clue what the "punctuated as........" in the preamble means. I know the method to 29 the unclued entry, but not how to do it, if that makes sense.

gitto - have you followed the message provided by the letters from the extra words? I was equally bewildered, until i did that, then it became clear.
