My AM Archive: May 2007

 AS SPRINGTIME approached Summertime in 2007, I present Medium Wave logs from the month of May, 2007.

My AM Archive is a continual thread of posts of my Medium Wave logbooks, bringing them online for posterity, and for other like-minded radio listeners to enjoy.
Logs of Short Wave broadcasts are also on this blog, under the My DX Archive thread.

This post, as stated above, brings logs from May 2007.
