General Radio Discussion / Darn i;t fell off the wagon again.

« on: September 23, 2019, 0106 UTC »

I keep trying to save my money to buy a quality SDR. Went to a hamfest today. First time that I have ever seen an IC-R72 in person...........

You guessed it.

I'm listening to it now.

Now she says that I have to clean the bathroom for the next month.

Music on 6955 possibly Radio Free Billy will have to check the recording for the ID.

Multiple ids at 2043 or so. Free Radio Billy.

2049z thanks for the shoutout.

I had dinner when my wife came home and left the radio on 6955 and found these when I got back.

Off at 0331z.
