Hi folks. This is the March 2021 WX radio test alert report. Not much to say this month (just like last month) except that spring is here and hope is in the air, for us all to be able to go out freely after getting jabbed. Also, that there will be something coming down the pike, in the shape of an announcement, of a survey that listeners must respond to, in order to keep Weatheradio Canada on the air and in all current locations. Hopefully, it will expand and progress with the new software and the new voices in the future, if we all say the right things. In the mean time, let’s get on with the monthly reports. Shal we?
