Study Of Pop Music Confirms The Obvious

Popular Music Just Keeps Getting Worse Over The Last 50 Years. Negative. Angry. Repetitive.

Re: In The Vast Majority Of The World, Marijuana Is Illegal

That should not even be a question. What people do or do not want to ingest and why is their business and no one else as long as they don't harm anyone else. Secondhand marijuana smoke is harmful to others. Plus it's annoying to people around you. Strange that on many college campuses, you can get ...

Re: In The Vast Majority Of The World, Marijuana Is Illegal

Asian Americans are far less likely to use Marijuana than other ethnic groups. Is that because they are "smarter" to choose not to use it, or are they "smarter" because they don't use it? I have to respect them for that either way. Studies have shown that regular marijuana use lowers IQ scores by an...

Did you take the weekend off your meds? You've been posting crazy again.

Apparently, your "meds" are illegal in this country. So you went to Amsterdam. What's your next stop, Bangkok?

Re: 8 tower array in Hamilton On.

There are a few more big arrays I see when driving East into Niagara Falls, two are between Hamilton and St Catharins. I see a few big Toronto stations are transmitting from the South side of the lake ! CHML was also on the South Side of the "Horseshoe" when it was 5000 watts from two towers. WTOR ...

In The Vast Majority Of The World, Marijuana Is Illegal

Map of world shows that in the vast number of countries, Marijuana is illegal. In many countries, marijuana offenses carry the death penalty, including Communist China, where there are around 500 executions each year for marijuana offenses. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countrie...

Re: 8 tower array in Hamilton On.

CHML also has to protect the Mexican border for XEW 900, which is 250000 watts, Class A. According to the founder of worldradiohistory.com, most stations like this actually operate with a lot less power than under Region II listed facility records. But you would still have to protect it in Mexico. I...

Re: 8 tower array in Hamilton On.

That 900 in Sudbury moved to 550, then to FM. WFRO 900 is gone. WSNQ 900 is gone. 900 in Sudbury is still in the Region II Database. A Canadian station wouldn't have to protect the Sudbury allotment. WFDF 910 has a larger footprint with 50 kW, and any change in CHML 900 would require not overlapping...

Re: Sleuthing Digital TV Signal Problems

It used to be if you knew somebody at the stations, they would tell you if something like that was going on and why. Now they are likely forbidden to tell anything like that, for fear that advertisers would freak out and ask for discounts, etc. It's not like everyone is watching off air though. One ...

Sleuthing Digital TV Signal Problems

The other day, I was watching WDIV 4/Physical 32, and it was frequently breaking up off air. I checked with a small portable with just a bowtie, and it was solid. I looked up WDIV on rabbit ears with Longley Rice, and there is a slight terrain hole next to a creek/drain, not far away from where I wa...
