Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

I'm DJ Dickweed.  Tight budget here, found some office chairs on the side of the road, saved them from the rain.  Brought them to the bunker.  Patched up the holes, ripped up a patch of hair on my leg from duct tape.  Hurts so bad.  Gotta tape up the chair again, this is a duct tape nightmare.
