My theory on "Old Time Radio 6770"
« on: July 25, 2015, 2255 UTC »
What if it is actually a secret, covert government station and those shows we hear actually covering up some sort of unknown digital data mode used to send messages to spies...

Fansome's probably behind it too.

Anything's possible.  I had a theory that Samuel Beckett's incomprehensible plays were actually coded messages.  He downplayed his role in the WWII French Resistance but I suspect he learned his trade craft there and secreted messages in his postwar scripts.   :o

FANCO has nothing to do with OTR or Samuel Beckett and his weird plays. However we have purchased the Arecibo Radio Telescope Facility in Puerto Rico to complement our HAARP installation in Alaska.

You'll soon be hearing your Fearless Leader, Al Fansome, in your head both on and off the planet. Listen and obey.

Oh yeah, no skateboards on the antenna in Arecibo.

I think you can buy bags of dirt Al has walked on, on eBay.

Chris I tried that, but when I opened the bag, I got a face full of dust that blew away in the wind. I was cheated!!

Yes, and to start out, you will be hearing me singing selected hits by the Go-Gos and Belinda Carlisle. Be very afraid.

It's some guy who has no clue how far it's going.

He likes to listen to those old shows while he works on various projects, and he think's he's just broadcasting to the old shortwave console he keeps in his garage...

That guy must spend a lot of time in the garage! Given the amount of hours OTR is on, I'd say that transmitter must be hot enough to fry up a couple veggie burgers by now...

He probably forgot to turn it off.
