Good old 122.9 MHz

 Once a year I get to try out my Sony 2010 receiver on the air band.  It's usually a week before the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh.  The Washington Island Lion's Club holds their annual fly-in fish boil.

For those who've never had it, a fish boil is a Door County, Wisconsin thing.  Hunks of whitefish along with potatoes (and possibly other stuff like onions) get put in a metal basket and cooked outdoors in wood fired kettles full of boiling, salted water.  After everything is cooked a small amount of kerosene is tossed on the fire to cause the pot to boil over - hopefully removing the unsightly froth of a vigorous boil from the food.

OK, maybe more than a small amount

  The basket is lifted out of the pot and the food gets served with plenty of butter.

It was a nice day today (7-16-2022) but not sure how many planes flew-in for the fish boil as before the pandemic.  Although I didn't attend it's fairly easy to hear the planes lining up to land both the motor noise and on the radio.  Didn't hear much of either today.  Hopefully they were coming in from the south today and I just didn't hear them.

in the afternoon the planes leave

Funny how the AM mode still works well after all these years.
