[WARC] Winona Amateur Radio Club December meeting Thursdauy

[Daniel L. Goltz]

The BBC came back on the air specifically to provide information to 
Ukraine when their internet was blocked. They are still up now, as far 
as I know. Broadcasts are in English, times and frequencies seem to 
vary.

SWLing got a lot of us started, as Len pointed out. I never did lose 
interest.
Dan,  WK0W
