Nothin' here, but it's early for that part of the spectrum. On the ham bands it's all locals on 75 meters yakking it up and getting in some early afternoon drinking.

Son of Biotch! Radio Garbanzo is the beans and I missed it! Fearless is the best pirate out there, bar none.

He was running on a local MW Christian station before this broke, but I haven't tuned through that segment of the band since.
RF moves at the speed of light. Ralph has been on for decades. Al Weiner had his little experiment of beaming signals straight into space last decade, partially full of the Prophet's teachings.
If their is life out there, and they're capable of receiving and deciphering his rants, Ralph has long since reached them. Let's hope he hasn't converted any of them and they don't come looking for him if he's gone. Without the threat of Slim Whitman, we're defenseless.

Too bad. They could have stocked that big hole with peacock bass when it was full of water. With all that structure for the bass and baitfish to use, it would have been the finest bass lake in Puerto Rico. Bill Dance and Roland Martin would have built fishin' mansions on the rim. Now it's just wasted property used by a bunch of egg heads looking for space rocks that they have no counter for, other than "Run away!". If they'd spend their time developing a fish finder that sensitive, the national debt would be eliminated within days of it's release. We'd all be living on Easy Street, or in the general neighborhood.
Al, get Possum-Head on the phone, tell him to forget the Great Wall of Mexico, there are other ways to keep Texan's out, and get him on this fish-finder thing, pronto!

Now that would be funny, Andy.
Whatever it is I can hear it from midday to well into the evening. In the afternoon and evening a couple of stations will come in and out over top of it.

Art didn't care who he put on the show as long as they grabbed listeners and raised his market share. He had a guy on when Clinton and Gore were making a tour of America campaigning in '96 that said Gore was an Illuminoid Vampire and they kept a supply of plasma on board the bus to keep him in check.
I was smoking a cigar on the back porch when I heard that. I started laughing and coughing so loud from that one, lights in neighboring house's came on. I ditched the stick and snuck inside before they could call the law on me.
I don't remember the guy's name but why do want to say his first name might have been Alex?

The closest thing I've heard to an id is a canned thing about "Your Christmas Music Station" in a male voice, then what sounds like a live announcer way down at Radio Cairo mod levels, into more canned stuff for "Credit Card Debt Relief" with a 1-800 number at full modulation, and back to Xmas music at full modulation.
Noise from Christmas lights hurt it around dusk when they kick on, but it still goes over them on peaks. As near as I can tell it nearly due west of me and slightly to the south, which puts it way off the bearing of the town with the Nativity displays which is solidly to the northwest.
It's an odd one.

Well he did play in couple of local bands where he came from before branching into cults. Most guys join bands to get girls. I figure after the whole Jim Baker thing Dave had a revelation while playing "Whole Lotta Rosie" for 900th time in a chicken wire bar and saw a religious scam as his way to less skanky women and fewer butt kickin's. No one whup's up on God Incarnate.

You better believe they will, SB. There was a character I remember as a kid who went to jail for fraud and messing around with the prettier underage females that turned up at his revival's. (He went after the grown one's, too. He wasn't a total perv, just a hound.) What did he do when he got out? Went back on the circuit in his prison uniform asking for forgiveness as he was "a reformed man."
He came through once post-prison, and as he was winding it up for the night he buckled at the knees and had to be helped to a chair. After he waved off his handlers, he got up and announced to the crowd that he'd just had a message from God, only twenties and above in the collection plates tonight! He got 'em. This was about 1965-'66 when twenty dollars was worth something. The man had gall, I'll give him that.
The flyer's that would go up when he was making his swings through were the best thing. He was pictured in a full old fashioned striped prison uniform, wrists and ankles shackled, Bible in one hand, cap in the other, looking up reverently towards Heaven.

I heard one on 1620 yesterday afternoon about 18:30 utc running Xmas music and announcements looped to what I think was my due west? There's a small town down that way that has revived their town wide Nativity displays weekend before last after a couple of decades in mothballs. It definitely wasn't there a couple of weeks ago. The music levels were solid, but the announcements were down in the mud.
Don't tell Fansome, but they've got a petting zoo/ manger with goats. I don't need him up here harassing people's livestock.

84? That damned old heathen! If he's convicted, any time at his age will likely be a life sentence. Enjoy those baloney sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Ralph.
Fooling with younger women can kill you once you're over 80. Something my pal Al who is shacked up with those identical cousins should remember. I worry about him.

I've heard about that. I told one of your women it was nothing tossing a plugged in blow dryer into the tub wouldn't fix. I can't remember if it was Cathy or Patty? Identical twin cousins are tough to tell apart.

Now if they could only figure out a way to shut off Fansome's.
