Title: Radio Newyork International (RNI)
Post by: Capt. Kidd on February 23, 2018, 0018 UTC
This station later became WBCQ. There’s not much reading out there on the internet but there are some news segments on YouTube if you hunt around.

Those were some fun times, when RNI was on and Johnny Lightning was doing his thing. There was a whole movement of radio and TVRO satellite nerds, including myself, who were followers of the shows on shortwave and unencrypted subcarrier downlinks. This was big before the Web.

That was back in the days when you could tell who had the Playboy Channel by the direction their dish was pointing and it's tilt in relation to the horizon.

A friend's Dad sold satellite dishes locally. I worked for him part-time after I got out of college. He'd rent them out to bars and lodges for big sports events. That guy sold more of those dishes that way than you would believe. We'd bring a box of pamphlets with his business cards stapled to them. He was a former car salesman, he called those rentals his "puppy dog close". Once they had one they didn't want to give them up. A nice chunk of the people who came in wanted one, too. His info was at the end of the bar just waiting to be picked up.
