Listened from 1445 and there were signs of life on the lower quadrant of the medium-wave band... or were there?
I started at 279 and found a lively Russian speaker. Skipping up the dial to 531, I found a het and little else... Turning over some rocks, I found Japanese on 558... I was filled with dread... and optimism... Rustling through the fallen leaves on 576 I found some more Russian voices -- crystal clear... I would hazard an 8 or even a 9. Encouraged, I pressed on through this dark and musty portion of the dial. 585... little more than faint whispers... 594 someone talking in Japanese... but wait - there was something VERY wrong here - there were 2 stations... fighting it out. Who would win? Frightened, I moved on to 603 where I found choral music. I was exhausted by now. Could I go on? I quickly discovered, as I moved up the dial from 612, that there was nothing but stillness, a radio dial disguised as life. Fragments of audio littered the remainder of my search - but nothing was revealed. Locals and splatter cluttered the dial. All was lost. Welcome to the Fall. Happy Halloween. (Yea, I know... it's tomorrow...) -- ..........................................................................................
