Field notes
The homepage lays out a progression from listening to a simulated exam, a JB call sign, and a virtual station with room for five. It also lists signal bars and better gear as progression rewards. At the time represented by the page, the dial’s listed station is off air and the schedule has no bookings; the site says schedules appear when hosts book.
