S9+10db in Charles Town WV on G5RV in attic.  S7 on mini-whip.

Just in time to hear Stevie!  Stand Back.

YES!!!!   RUSH!!!!  Time Stands Still.  The only Rush song that has another singer! (Aimee Mann from Til Tuesday, then later solo records.)

New (to me) Alan Parsons song, and it's a GOOD ONE!  This is gonna stick with me for a while!

« Last Edit: October 01, 2022, 0222 UTC by n3tel »
Icom 7300 with G5RV INSIDE the attic, unless specified otherwise.

Too many radios to list.  Mini-whip, Home-brew Mag-loop, are also on the antenna switch.
