[NJARC] Short Wave Listening

[Pete]

Radio Havana Cuba has been a mainstay for years and easy to hear on 6 mhz every night till midnight.  Arnie Coro CO2KK does a short 10 minute too on ham radio topics. And still good old fashioned communist propaganda and Anti American commentary bring back memories of Radio Moscow. 

Speaking of which when I was 15 or so I was visited by the FBI asking why I was writing so many letters to communist counties - Hungary, East Germany, Russia, Czechoslavkia,  etc.  they even had reply letters to me which they opened.   

My father was not pleased with that. He was pissed at me and not the Feds.  But he was really pissed later on when FCC knocked on our door at 11PM when I was bootlegging CB.
