[HCDX] Space Shuttle Radio 15880

[Arthur Delibert <radio75a3@xxxxxxx>]

N. EUROPE, 15880 USB, Space Shuttle Radio, 12:11 - 13:00.  Heard their test this morning.  Very poor at tune-in, but came up to the point where it was mostly readable after 12:40, then faded somewhat.  Classic American rock music from 1950s and 60s, recordings of American political events from late early 70s, many IDs.  E-mailed the station and heard my own report mentioned on the air. (Art Delibert, N. Bethesda, MD 1/19/13).    
 
Excalibur Pro Hiccup -- Love my Excalibur Pro, but when I turned it on just after the New Year ... nothing -- except a message saying the app had crashed.  I tried everything -- rebooting the computer, removing and reinstalling the software from the original disk, restoring my operating system to a date when I knew the radio was working ... still nothing.  Finally wrote to Grove Electronics, and Bob Grove clued me in:  there was a glitch in the software that caused these radios to shut down when the calendar turned to 2013!  He provided me the latest software, and all is well now.   Would be nice if all radios could be fixed by e-mail!
