GLP= Gullible Listening People
« on: September 01, 2013, 1628 UTC »
I sometimes hang out on the Twente sdr while I'm at work & chat w/ whoever is there. Lately it has been over run with 4 chan & GLP  people who think they are gleaning some sort of info from eams on 8992 & 11175. Last week I posted,as a joke, that the last eam translated into "hey guys we're ordering a pizza, are you in?". Two days later,curiosity getting the best of me, I looked at the glp site to see what these loonies were discussing about EAMS & some sort of imminent attack in Syria & I found my pizza joke being stated as fact! I'm ...it..I just...I'm speechless.

The GLP people go bananas every time there's a bump or glitch from a sensor on my radiation map site http://www.blackcatsystems.com/RadMap/

And of course when I explain it was a glitch, they claim I'm part of the conspiracy.  Fine. But where's my check from Karl Rove? I could buy some more SDRs with it.

Closest station to me near Milwaukee and its currently reading 13. In looking at its history, Fri afternoon it went up to 21! That's nearly 2x as much.

That completely explains why I was unproductive at work and why a lot of people were gone. Apparently, I could sense this anomoly subconsciously and consumed a bunch of vodka when I got home to prevent radiation poisoning. Now will have more today to make sure I'm fully protected.
