[R-390] Don Reaves - SAQ 2004-07-04

[Steve Goode]

The audio recording seems to stop right at the time in question.  I can't
look at a picture and copy CW.  By the way, it has a nice note for a station
that may be moving all over the spectrum (previous stability emails).
Anyone know how to get the complete audio recording?

Steve, K9NG

Just curious.  Too much time on my hands?
