I can hear at least two ships on that frequency faintly, but copyable when
the
static subsides. I think the static must be local, one of these years I'll
get
around to putting up an outdoor antenna...


Good here but lots of static, plus CG-1501's radio troubles. An
alcohol explosion?? that ship must've popped like a popcorn kernel.

More seriously, one burn victim looked bad on CNN -- completely black
and fighting a nurse trying to insert an IV, looked like... ugh.
