Close encounters of the radio kind

didn't know a thing about it, but:

Mrs R and I were driving from Brisvegus to Melbourne, and as usual we pulled in for a look at the dish, - wondered why the car park was full, and then got in on the last dish tour of the weekend!

It was a fantastic experience, and one more item off our bucket list!

(and after seeing what they do to change the collected frequencies, I'll never complain about wiring up the stereo again.)
