Spaceline juiced it up to 250KW for me! Normally, the Broi Stair stuff runs at 50kw

Default RX location is Wisconsin using various wire antennas. Other RX will be noted.

I was listening to your forecast and you quoted some temperatures that have never graced good old New England! Well, maybe up Mt. Washington way!
(On January 16, 2004, the summit weather observation registered a temperature of −43.6 °F (−42.0 °C) and sustained winds of 87.5 mph (140.8 km/h), resulting in a wind chill value of −102.59 °F (−74.77 °C) at the mountain)

I had a buddy who was stationed at a NORAD base during the Cold War. On really cold nights they would get all boozed up, strip down, and run a lap out and around the flagpole. No reported cases of frostbite you know where, but the guy wore heavy wool sweaters year round after he got out. He said he couldn't get warm after his time up there.
