This week’s show is FANTASTIC, too, by the way, as I let my 3 1…[Read more]

This week’s show includes a news clip from the Minnesota News Network about the Duluth Accordionaires and a vintage Budweiser commercial.

As I’ll be retiring in a couple years, and as I’ve acquired far more equipment than I needed in the first place, I’m offering one of my Potomac FIM-71 field intensity meters for sale.
