AM'er's delight, last night, on 3880kHz!
« on: August 19, 2023, 1834 UTC »
With this rare cooler-spell, for SW WV, and C2C AM not being anything that I'd want to care about, (Sorry Connie Willis, but I'm pretty much Big Footed out.), I'd thought that I'd try putting the W.O.G. to the 'ol Sangean AST-803A portable, at bedside, and crash-out to that. And??? Lightning crashes were in there, but not pegging the "S" meter, like what's been the norm this Summer 2023. 'W5'-land was very much alive with a great roundtable of dudes from TX, LA, and AS, from about 02:00UTC to about 05:45UTC, when everyone signed-off for the night. If I wasn't too tired from working outside, until dark, I probably would have joined them. Anyway, a neat, and rare Summer AM treat for sure. Probably won't hear these conditions again, until like October. 
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
