Thanks for the link Kev. Lots of debate on our net about shows not coming from the boat, and the transmitter being on land. FWIW, you’re welcome to join the net. We offer a live audio stream, plus a chatroom. We have a few regulars from around the world joining us. http://www.essexham.net – 73 Pete M0PSX
