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``
