What's VORW? The new acronym for the Voice of Russia? I thought they went off the air.
An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).

Voice of the Report of the Week.

And if you're wondering what the Report of the Week is, it's a popular youtube channel. The guy who does that has VORW as his music and commentary show. He mentioned that he used to be active here on HFU a while back, but I don't know under what name.
Denver, CO.
SDRPlay RSPdx & RSP2pro, Airspy Discovery HF+, Icom IC-7100, Grundig Satellit 750, Realistic DX-300, Tecsun PL-600.
MLA-30 active loop, G5RV dipole.
