My AM Archive: Winter 2006-2007 : February 2007

 I SHALL begin with a quote from my previous post:

WINTER 2006-2007 was a very productive time for listening to the Medium Wave band, so the logs for December 2006 through to February 2007 will be posted as individual months, rather than the full [quarterly] season.

 This post brings logs from February 2007.
