Website updates

Tue, 26 Jan 2010

We made a few changes to the site, take a look around. The old 'Listener Map' is now a google map. You can add yourself if you have a gmail account. Also you can export this map for Google Earth, etc. We did move all the old Frapper Map data over to the new map.

Under 'Support' is our new attf iphone/touch application link. This takes you to iTunes store where you can acquire the app. Right now the app is more a "donation" for us, however it's great app that allows you to get the shows without a PC/Mac attached. More features will be added to the app soon enough and you will get the updates free.

Also the Giveaway for February has been posted!

Thanks for your donations and support!

No InsideHeli this week!

Thu, 21 Jan 2010

With the winter doldrums dragging us down, (not to mention head colds) we're not recording this week. We'll be back next week with a gasser engine tuning and tips show.

Also, until Spring has sprung we will be switching to a bi-weekly format unless we have something exciting and new to talk about. You'll just need to listen to re-runs to get your IH fix!
