Simmer down, Al, he's just trying to bait you.

It does explain why you and I never hear Radio GaGa. A SDR receiver is obviously needed to hear a SDR transmission.

Keep the faith, Al, keep the faith. Every right thinking DX'er knows SDR stands for "Satan's Death Ray."

Thank the Lord that I have you to keep me on the straight and narrow Pigmeat. I thought that my inability to hear GaGa was due to some moral failing on my part, and the siren call of the SDR was getting too hard to resist. I think I can manage to keep my soul pure for now. Listening to Pastor Melissa has helped immensely as well.

This is almost as bad as The Devil's Phone Booth.
