I m sure Gilles Letourneau would be happy to do a forum, he does the sw show on
you tube and co hosts the International radio report with Sheldon. It might be
fun to hear some people who are overseas who cant normally come in
person.JaniceSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Listening – Thomas WitherspoonWe've seen an amazing array of full-featured

DXers a means to easily escape RFI and to experiment with portable listening
posts. We'll take a look at a number of QRP general-coverage transceivers I
