Brachiating Tetrapod
This afternoon, I reprogrammed my FT-450D.
After I download new data, the radio resets itself to Memory #1.
As I was scrolling thru 41 meters I picked up what sounded like "Easy Listening pop" in an unknown language.
The signal was 5-5-5-5-5.
In the last few years have I heard fewer and fewer SWBC signals on HF, much less a good quality one.
The station eventually ID's as Voice of Turkey.
This brought back my memories of SWLing in the 60's and 70's.
Before the Internet, Short Wave was the only way to hear foreign voices and music.
Bhangra, Arab chanting ,BBC Promenades, Radio Japan, and of course Joe Adamov at Radio Moscow and his buddies at Radio Havana raving about "running dog lackies".
There's no real point to this posting,
just a nice trip down Memory Lane.
