Blog Logs - MARE


That wild and crazy bunch from Michigan Area Radio Enthusiasts has been at it again at their receivers, so today's samples are via the latest newsletter.
Special thanks to Joe Wood for his kind words about this blog in the newsletter. It is appreciated, and hope it brings in about a "bizillion" new MARE members! Best of DX to Joe and MARE members.
