UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS

``I just wanted to take the time to say thank you! I cannot get on the
air very often, I listen occasionally via webSDR's owing to living in
a flat and no antennas. I will, when time and WX allow go for a walk
to a small patch of grass near me in the town and use a 7M tripod +
20M band V dipole antenna to use with a portable QRP HF rig. Listening
to your podcast reminds me what it was like living in a noise free
village as a teenager listening to the bands. One memory comes to me
of regularly hearing AFN (Armed Forces Network) on 873 KHz from
Germany - a weak signal, but once the sun was fully down I could hear
them battling through with a number of other MW stations, especially
during winter months. Keep up the good work, it's very enjoyable to
listen to. Dennis Smith, M1DLG``

** INDIA [non?]. 15280, Oct 17 at 2340, S9/+20 of dead air with very
heavy Doppler flutter. The Chinese sesquihour of Akashvani/AIR via
Bengaluru is about to start, and it is subject to jamming. Also during
much longer hours, SOH and jamming against that could be here. Or,
could this be the ghost of KGEI? Many other frequencies in the higher
bands are also Dopplerfluttery, transpolar propagation disruptions
