[IRCA] In defence of ultralight radios (was an Idaho hot potato)

Okay, buddy, pick on Idaho potatoes and I don't care. They're not PEI 
potatoes, so I won't get worked up. But pick on my prison radio, and, well, 
the boys who are in here don't like that kinda talk. My prison radio has 
freed me from the DX-less cell that is downtown Toronto. The guards think 
I'm pining away in solitary, all while I'm hearing the likes of Jamaica on 
720 (not easy at all inland here unless you've smuggled some of that 
glorious crop inside the pen and the guards have serious rhinitis), or 
logging actual new catches, like daytimers that have escaped the confines of 
daytime-only rules - stations as far south as GA, SC and VA, that I've never 
heard before here, on any radio. I'll have you know I have a nail file 
stashed away. But this is heaven. There are no redundant loggings here.

;-)
