Everyone, meet Winston!

I decided to start this blog so I could write about my radio experiences. I want to have a place where I can share what I hear. I hope you will enjoy your time  here. I am no expert when it comes to matters of shortwave radio, but I am learning. I have a great group of guys that I hang out with almost every night on irc, #wunclub. You know who you are.
