Shortwave Broadcast / 60M Bandscan 0055 - 0115

« on: October 02, 2011, 0144 UTC »

When I'm bored, I have been in the habit of doing bandscans, which is incredibly boring, and by comparison, the previous state of boredom I was in previously just doesn't seem that all that boring after all. 

Hope you don't mind if I share them here.  It makes it a lot easier to have target ideas handy on nights when there are good openings.
