no-one ever now: [the same thing].
then i went back to my studio and spent some time with a LimeSDR, trying to tune in on to XXX's ATIS broadcast via an antenna that looked more like a bunch of barbed wire than anything else. finally, it worked. the snow on the window pane added to the distortion, and not only had I have a nice listening session, but some recorded material for future projects, too. pure bliss.
thinking about making this a tradition from now on.
last year's novelty: being sober and happily driving myself home afther the party.
this year: no more parties.
