Topband: Topband - Stew Perry event just 48 hours away

[Mike Waters]

Thanks Mark (and all the others who replied)!

This seems to be exactly what I was looking for.  I wasn't expecting any of
these Web SDRs to have the type of RX antennas that contesters use. Mostly,
I wanted to listen to keep my CW skills up. But it'll also be fun to see if
I hear any DX.

Good luck in the contest! :-)
