I wonder how much time and money the FCC spends on CB enforcement...

None, and Zero.

I like it as well, clean, easy to read.

Tuning across the dial last night around 1 a.m. (Oct 30), WCBS 880 had a zero-beat signal interfering with and at times overwhelming it. Was not quite able to make out the content from the snippets I could hear, other than it was English language. 880 is usually pretty rock-solid into Detroit, so th...

One of the moderators of the "I Love AM Radio" page on Facebook has posted this: " For the first time in over a month, WPON was noted on the air today, 29 October. First heard at about 1145. Same as before -- cycling through mostly Motown Gold, and IDs every few records with female computer voice. C...

Confronted with the frequent questions about deteriorating road surfaces, the stock answer from the nice lady in the Yellow Hard Hat has been, and probably always will be that well, we have freeze-thaw cycles that create potholes and cracks blah blah blah. Never mind that Ontario and Ohio and every ...

I also remember hearing the strong WWV signals on 5 & 10 MHz out of Maryland. My dad had a GE table radio with a SW band, 4-12mc (which was the gateway drug to SWLing, Ham Radio, TV repair, electronics, broadcasting, etc.). Seems to me that the Voice announced Eastern Standard Time, every five minut...

So was this an encrypted OTA signal? It sounds like it died off once everyone one got wired for CATV Not "encrypted" in the true sense, but "scrambled" using a sync pulse inversion technique similar to the Macrovision process used for VHS copy protection. Pirate descrambler boxes were abundant and ...

The past two weeks' installments of Scott Fybush's "Site of the Week" feature photos and comments from his visit here in August. Good Stuff showing studio and transmitter facilities of iHeart, WJR, WDIV, WJR, WDIV WKBD/WWJTV and more. Site of the Week 2/3/17: Detroit, 2016 Site of the Week 2/10/17: ...

Even IMDB has announced they are discontinuing comments.
Trolling, ignorance and stupidity overwhelming every conversation, no matter what the subject.
Unlike the civilized discourse we engage in here on the Buzzboard

If only WTVG could air CW in 1080, sorry Toleders! Yes, we know, of course ABC is at 720p as well, I suppose either they need to by whatever new thingy to make it work or simply don't feel like putting in the dollars to up the res. It really doesn't make much visual difference. There are those who ...

Which persists to this day!

Craig11152, "rock" was intended as a good-natured poke, not an insult. Sorry if you inferred that. I was just rather surprised that you hadn't heard that before.

[...] Can you document the term "rebellion" instead of "riot" going back that far? This from one of very many search results- Riot or rebellion? The debate over what to call the 1967 disorder continues , which cites usage of the term beginning almost immediately afterwards. In '67 & '68 I worked on...

If this is the first time you've heard this, you've been living under a rock since, oh, July of 1967.

I would like to examine this quote of his: This transformational transaction creates scale-driven efficiencies and opportunities to compete more effectively with other media to better serve our listeners and our advertisers. The combination of a compelling strategic fit, an excellent balance sheet,...
