@llorenzin and I were in Asheville over the weekend and were on campus at AB Tech for an event on Saturday when we saw a sign for the Asheville Radio Museum.

Following the signs through the building and up to the 3rd floor, we found a lovely museum with working tube radios including the centerpiece Zenith Stratosphere (of which there are only ~40 left in existence). They have a Bluetooth to AM transmitter setup in the museum room so they can play music the radios will pick up, and it sounded amazing!

They also have a lot of ham (and other) radio gear and a full ham radio station setup in the corner that operates as W4AFM.

Wonderful little museum, and both the docents we talked to were great! It was fairly random that we were there, the museum was open, and we had the time to stop in. I highly recommend going to the Asheville Radio Museum if you're in town.

Anyone in UK/Europe monitoring 6m?

Had this FT8 decode earlier, no info on call in FCC DB or QRZ.

I was inclined to say its a (rare) false decode, but then that happens, both call / locator makes no sense.

But in this case, FK68 is Puerto Rico.
