THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE OF THE NIGHTLY SERVICE DON TAYLOR OUT OF WATSON LAKE, YUKON HAS PROVIDED FOR MANY YEARS TO REMOTE TRAPPERS AND OTHERS OUT IN THE BUSH.  "ON SHED" used to be at 7 pm each night from Oct thru to spring but because of poor reception it was moved to 4 pm.  For some of these trappers it is the only voice they hear for months and months.  It is also a big safety net because everyone knows when someone has not been on the SBX for many days.  Over the years Don has saved several lives.  At the end of the "On Shed" the radio is busy with chatting.  It is like going to the coffee shop.  If you have an SBX and are out..... sign on.  Crystal 4441
