[Boatanchors] Another BA followed me home

[jeremy-ca]

There wasnt much on the BC bands, either far at sea or foreign ports, of 
interest to American sailors. We used to listen to short wave stations from 
AFRN to Radio Moscow. Id surmise that sailors who sailed when those radios 
were new had similar interests in accordance with what was broadcast at that 
time.
