A friend monitors AFN and has mentioned that for the last 2 months the
audio has been in and out. I took a listen tonight, and I have trouble understanding which group of cub scouts are running this station. Is it not standard practice to monitor you off air signal? I guess that no one is listening because I can't believe that anyone who really need this service wouldn't raise cane over the quality. Terry |
