I can't seem to access the Furreh Radio Network site; is it my browser or they in fact down?

It would just be wrong to take pleasure in the misfortune of others. To laugh at the FRN just because it is old and decrepit, just like some of its posters, would be reprehensible. To point out that there are other pirate radio boards that are more reliable, visited, and beloved, not to mention interesting, would certainly be beyond the pale.

We here at HFU hope that that the FRN is repaired just as soon as is humanly possible, and we offer all of our spare chewing gum and baling wire to help it struggle, gasping, to its feet perhaps one last, feeble, time.

"It would just be wrong to take pleasure in the misfortune of others. To laugh at the FRN just because..." Blah, blah, blah, etc.
Yeah but you see I have no heart & therefore don't care but you do so you can just have pity for me & maybe it will add to your positive karma & other such stuff... oh thanks for the reminder I'm almost out of duct tape.  Roll Eyes

 You don't have a heart? I suspect you to be my ex.
Shame on you for tracking me down.

Fansome adroitly remarks: "Shame on you for 'tracking' me down." Speaking of tracking, has anyone visited http://shortwavedx.blogspot.com & noticed that your location is instantly posted on the "Live Traffic Feed"? Wazzup Widat?!

This is an extremely well-visited site, so there are literally addresses from around the world.  How much damage is done by knowing there was a visiter from "Manchester, England" or "Mount Pearl, Canada"?  No way for anyone to tell if it was a pirate, listener or just someone hitting a link.  And no IP's, so nothing to worry about.  (BTW, Mount Pearl is not my actual location, but that's what comes up on the the Live Traffic Feed)

Personally,  http://shortwavedx.blogspot.com is my first stop after turning on the radio. 

But, if you are concerned, use a proxy.

Cheers, Terry

Don't be fooled into thinking that only a general location being listed keeps you safe. This past year I was frequently attacked by the floppy eared one and his sock puppet army because they saw my I.P. address and assumed I was Northern Relay Service. So be wary; cowards, hiding behind anonymity, can be a pain in the ass.

The FRN was my online introduction to the pirate community, back in '99 or so...guess any place has an ebb and flow.
