Excellent reception, PL-880 with its attached wire out on the deck sunning in the 60 degree balmy, southern New England weather where the palm trees are swaying in the breeze  ;D.   (There are 4 inches of snow still in my backyard  :-\) ION, perhaps?

Thanks for the Afternoon Delight, ION  :)

Thanks for tuning in! Nice day for some 70s music. At 100 Watts with the new Stretchyman transmitter.

Not set up for request CT Yankee  :( but there may be some ELO in there somewhere.
