40 Years ago I would DX many remote broadcast pick ups on 25 MHz. I'm glad to see a station is still using it. Most of the radio stations now use the Internet to link to a transmitter.

Videos are OK, but please also share logs. Some of us don't care to watch videos just to see who came in.
Oh I'll always do logs. The audio would just be for interesting things heard. Speaking of, here's my log for 9/28/24 from Southern California. Today is still capturing, I'll process it this evening.

Where are you located? Knowing your location (doesn't have to be specific. Can be just general such as county or region) will help others who may not be far from you have their ears "turned up".
