Happy World Radio Day!

Hug a radio because today is World Radio Day!

Nothing new in the radio log. I listen every evening and before I go to bed. Conditions have been good. In fact, last night conditions were very good – I heard a half-dozen navigational beacons that were over 1,000 miles away, but nothing new to report.

Since my DNA tests 99% Polish, I will leave you with the Polish version of the World Radio Day GIF.

Hug a radio because today is World Radio Day!

On the way to work, I tuned the car radio to 860 kc and listened to a French language station during the entire 35-minute commute. The station faded in a couple of spots and another station – an English language station playing 1960s-era oldies – came up on the frequency and competed with the French language station.

I was unable to identify either station. The French language station was likely the already logged CJBC from Toronto; the English language station was likely the already logged WSBS from Great Barrington, Massachusetts because their weather forecast concentrated on New England.
