Hi folks. This is the February 2021 WX radio test alert report. Not much to say this month except to repeat that I hope the 48 WXR’s which are set to possibly be taken off the air, are not. Or else, it’s over and there will be no more newsletter posts either, as of August 2020. Are we clear on that? That being said, I think we should go right to the reports for this month and enjoy the last days of February, staying healthy and safe.
