Just looked in the current club listing. ( I don't mean the half wave of TV Gate Keepers Society.)

Just need some local info for a story I'm writing.

THANX
I take it you really meant Short Wave Listeners. That's what licensed amateur (ham) radio operators refer to as SWL.

What SWL people listen to is foreign commercial radio broadcasts on "short wave bands." I haven't been a SWL in decades, although I occasionally come across some commercial broadcasts on bands where some countries allow commercial radio on bands that are primarily for ham operators.

I'm sure someone in The Villages Radio Club can give you more information.
