Found it. How did that get there? It wasn't there before.

Yeah, someone broke in and put those keys on my keyboard! I'll bet it's the Feds... Or Brother Stare!

Actually, though, I knew this worked in editors and such, but I don't think I ever tried it on a web browser. :_

I call him Brother Stare, LOL... he is ALL over shortwave, well beyond those 2 stations mentioned. He just purchased the entire overnight block on Channel 292 SW out of the Netherlands. If someone hooked a linear to a baby monitor on 49MHz, he'd probably buy time on it!

I was given an old DX-35 CW/AM transmitter by a friend. This thing has been sinking my time for the last 2 months. It had several mods done to it, including a large meter (since replaced with a square of sheet metal) and also had the wrong rectifier tube. A couple things about this beast: - The powe...

I had one, and I loved it. The speaker was awful though, and I changed a few parts in the audio section so that it restored audio response from about 100Hz to around 10kHz. I loved the LW band on this back in the day, when you could actually hear Euros coming in, especially in the winter. I have it'...

WBCQ SW still uses the calls, but since shortwave is a different service than domestic broadcasting, the calls can also be allocated elsewhere in other services. Same, evidently, for AM, FM and TV calls, which in some cases, Wxxx-AM and Wxxx-FM calls are spread apart by several hundreds or thousands...

Many Classic Classic Rock tracks (circa 1970s) are a legend in listeners' minds. They ask me how high they charted and I say it didn't, or #96 Hot 100, or it was just an album track, or B side. They say "that was a hit, man". Classic rock has it's own rules for what is in their playlists, evidently...

It's been a while since I posted here, but I'm still vertical. We've had a really rough couple months. First, I had a CT scan of my lungs, where non-alcoholic cirrohsis of the liver was discovered. I figure it had to be from the statins I was on until 2014, which did much damage to my joints and mus...

Nobody got "We're an American Band"??? For SHAME!!

Van Halen, Beats Workin'

Well, it's the 26th, and???

We removed Comcrap. We're stuck with Direct now, which will also be "removed" as soon as the contract expires. They're even worse than Comcrap, and we'll never go back to them. I guess we go offline. I'm sick of having no choice between greedy, stupid companies.

You couldn't FORCE me at gunpoint to work for those morons.

Of the many reception reports I've received from my show being broadcast via pirate shortwave, I recently received the very nice report below. THIS is how I have always done reports, I'm glad to see someone else still bothers to provide details like this, including an attached MP3 file recorded off ...

I can tell you this, the weekend of the flare was downright awful on HF bands. And what a mess the HF Hurricane Watch Net had to deal with.

The sad part is there are tons of idiots who fall for this shit.

These idiots with the "free grants" scam are especially a bunch of assholes. They have called us every 5 minutes for hours some days. Also, I do not do credit cards, period. I'm laughing every time I get a call from one of these "representatives" telling me there has been "fraudulent activity" on my...
