Listening on the iPhone on PA websdr. Great signal. Fell asleep in recliner listening to him troubleshoot audio. XYL thought I was nuts, woke me up and told me to go to bed. I went into the shack instead and turned on the real radio just as he got it all fixed. Great signal direct. Watch out for the scuds, Mr. Weed.
Can you come over now and fix my Ameritron amp?
