Looked up some song titles on Search, not using Shazam! or Midomi or any of those, just plain search. Not sure why SSTV images have been looking twisted lately, maybe the Kiwi's local oscillator is calibrating, or my computer is?
Caught the last part of the show tonight, but I still got it. Noisy band tonight due to storms, but Ballsmacker had a good signal with peaks up to +10 that got over the noise pretty well. Thought I was recording, but no, so no audio to share. Always sounding good, thanks for the show!
You know that push to save AM radio in cars, with the NAB? Well, shortwave pirates are helping to save AM!
