  • post your full logs on forum (http://bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=436.0), FMDX.tk Facebook group or by e-mail staff @ radioaktiiviset.info, during or after the contest (but until April 30th, 2017)

Pientä tropoa

25 08 , 2016 Ei kommentteja

24.8 – Ei mitään maata mullistavaa, mutta pitkästä aikaa pohjoisen SR-asemat kuuluivat normaalia paremmin. Harmillisesti ei kuitenkaan niin hyvin, että pitkään jahtaamani Radio Skellefteå 89.7MHz olisi luureihin tarttunut. Muutaman kerran se on vuosien varrella noussut toviksi, muttei koskaan idille saakka. Parille seuraavalle päivälle ”LENni” enteilee hyvää, joten täytyypä olla kuulolla.
