Tip of the hat to all the United States Veterans wherever they are, living or deceased and Thank you for the very fine tribute of WW2 songs on this Veterans Day 2018!
Too bad some scumbags had to ruin it with totally uncalled for and unnecessary wideband utility activity. I would imagine they have no respect for our Veterans.

Very interesting how the ute disappeared after the station QRT'd.....
