As the cold recedes
farther north, thunderstorms return with all its associated electronic
noises – the bane of radio enthusiasts everywhere. Visual Impact offers
some consolation:
"In northen Ontario, distanced Nevermind Radio Netherlands When sounds fade to the bird-chirp dawn,
from overwhelming city
transmissions, in the
calm of the night,
softly DXing the dial,
I can hear many voices
from many far off cities…
the AM band opens like
a tattered box of junk
dusty with static
and hidden voices calling
from the…
South-west to Toronto,
South-east to Montreal
and far south to Georgia…
all that remains
are some notes."

I will be on the road until Saturday. We will be posting "reruns" while I’m away. Approval of comments may take a while. – Armand
Some notable coincidence: Moleskine small notebook size (9cmx14cm) is the exactly same size of amateur radio QSL cards (proofs of contact). The ruled Moleskine notebooks are also very good on portable logging.
