Modern rockabilly tunage on 1630kHz!
« on: December 05, 2017, 1915 UTC »
Gave up on crappy propagation above 7MHz, and below 7MHz was all lightning crashes from the approaching storms cold front. So, tried the 'ol Sangean ATS-803A on the Windom at 04:55UTC and heard a modern rockabilly tune with YL vocalist on 1630kHz AM. Of course, a strong fade-out by the top of the hour. Neat, whatever that was, and even over the lightning crashes for a time.
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
