Vinylthon 2026!!!! Anyone doing it?
« on: April 11, 2026, 1735 UTC »
Yep... The weekend of Saturday, April 18th, 2026, is not only Record Store Day, but a time where many stations do the event called Vinylthon,  https://www.vinylthon.com/      Most of these stations are LPFM'er, college stations, and other public radio stations. So, are there any Part 15 stations doing this, or even linking-in to a station doing this event? Where I am, I'll plan to link to LPFM'er, WTSQ-LP 88.1FM, and be an ass-backwards translator for them. Give them AM coverage where their FM signal does not reach here, and they dig that, and totally permissible.     https://wtsq.org/   and    https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?call=wtsq&x=0&y=0&sr=Y&s=C     So, if you have some nice sounding audio on your Part 15 stations, flaunt it with the Vinylthon Weekend. If anything, you'll sound very nostalgic. Oh... And something rare today, about the only time that you will hear live DJ's sinning-it overnight.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

The 18th being Record Store Day explains the long line I saw outside a local record store Saturday morning while driving to a flea market.

I didn't buy any records at the yard sale, but I did buy some old computer gear  ;D
