[Boatanchors] 73 Magazine pdf files

[Carl]

Gee, I must be seriously illegal when I rebroadcast streaming audio over my 
Part 15.5 transmitter that can be heard on AM radios anywhere on the 
property.

I live in fear of Roy Orbisons heirs coming up in a Black Suburban..... 
followed by those for Elvis, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, and anyone else 
dead or alive from the 40-70's R&R, doo wop, R&B, Blues, Soul, etc era.
