The BBS does get traffic, but most are going straight to the networked message areas. I do get some people looking for vintage text files, too.

I'm getting back into SW after a long hiatus. I used to use powerline adapters to extend my network to the BBS and upstairs, turns out the adapters turn your electrical wiring into RF noisemakers. Looking forward to better reception.

I used to be a big AM DXer, liked to listen to Coast to Coast AM on faraway stations when the signals started skipping.
