[AMRadio] Illegal 27 MHz Linear Amplifiers

[Me, Myself and I]

Don,

Did you know that a truck full of 'radioactive something' came across the
border from Canada to Michigan back in late May?

It wasn't noticed until June because the detectors weren't read until
then...

There are BIG problems out there...  on both sides of the border...

It has to do with 'lazy' people working for both governments...

Simple ehhh????

Saudi Arabian men...  Me thinks we attacked the wrong country...
