[TheList] Radiowiki updates

Fri Apr 17 16:09:26 AEST 2020

Hey all

I guess I'm kind of original. Been round for years nd years. Chris your
awesome for running the site at your cost even though it's not much that's
still super kind of you. We have maybe 5 days of Lockdown left. How about
EVERYONE try and update the wiki for there area and make it great and up to
date again. Just a thought. If everyone added a few freqs we woukd have a
amazing thorough wiki site.
