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.

QRP General Coverage Transceivers: Bridge
Between Transmitting and Listening Thomas Witherspoon
We've seen an amazing array of full-featured
general-coverage QRP transceivers hit the
market in the past few years--during the
doldrums of the solar cycle, no less. These
rigs provide SWLs and even 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
consider to be truly worthy, with a particular
focus on the innovative Icom IC-705.
2000 UTC / 1500 EST / 1200 PST / 2100 CET / 0700 (Sun.) AEDT

The Addictive Quality of Curiosity - Mark
Fahey, Live from Freemans Reach, Australia
This building in the sleepy rural village of
Freemans Reach in southeast Australia rarely
needs heating. 18 receivers running 24x7x365
provide continuous coverage from 1kHz to
12.8GHz. Can the quest for knowledge ever be
satisfied? This presentation is a live dive
into the presenters Sisyphean obsession to monitor the worlds culture.
