Just dropped in to see what's up. I have just about given up SWLing due to a combination of local noise, bad propagation, and station closures (never thought I'd see V of Russia terminating broadcasts). I've decided to start a new direction to my radio hobbying by becoming an Amateur operator. I got my license Saturday and my transceiver is scheduled for delivery tomorrow!

Already studying for the General test,

Looking forward to hearing you participate in the Liberty Net, you will fit in swimmingly.
