I had hopes that you'd enjoy that little tweak to pirate radio.

A person who hangs out here is known as "Alstra" on the dark web. He created havoc with "Fanbot 3000" in certain chatrooms around the turn of the decade. He's never been id'd, either.

Alstra demanded double cheeseburgers and goat porn for payment. If the Astra person did the same, we may be on to something.

"McKinnon was not motivated by money, but rather by the prospect of extraterrestrial life. He later stated that he found evidence of such life, but has not shared it publicly."

Also, "Can't Remember Name Radio" is up for grabs. I get props for the idea however.

I dunno, bitcoin is neat and all but is made out of bits, I prefer pm's in hand instead. No counterparty risk and doesn't depend upon lectricity.

Bring back the gold standard. Or was the silver standard the better one?

Gold, according to the late night conspiracy radio types and the commercials that their sponsors run, MDK. Once Y2K hits they say we're going to need it along with two decades worth of their version of MRE's.

Let's see "Dead Air Radio"? Taken, along with "Dead Cat Radio".  "Alzheimers Network"? TV network that runs on loop in many doctors offices. "Pinwheel Radio" may conflict in call letters with the often used "Pissweak Radio" a favorite of hams and dx'ers alike in all it's incarnations. It could work as it's open for grabs, but you've always got some crank out there who might complain.

Personally, if I were you, I'd go with "Son Of Smilkstein Radio". Built in audience and free request lines at A&P grocery stores nationwide.

Is Radio Free Willy spoken for?




It has a movie AND a Bill Clinton angle.

LOL, already had 4 trees fall very close, one of which took out an antenna--there aren't seven left.  But "Touche".

Actually, I don't use trees anymore.

I mean, I don't use anything anymore...

Break it up! Do you really want me to line your yards with electric cattle fence? With the RF noise that stuff makes you won't be able to make out the loudest howls of Brother Stair, not even on Radio Free Weinerville or WRMI!

Think about it. Do you really want to miss out on "Cooking With Fansome" on WBCQ?

Karma? Do you mean that Rosenberg girl that makes dirty movies or what happened to that Murphy fella from Smith Mountain and his midget? I'll take Ms. Rosenberg, something about ol' Jerry Mike Pat Graves-Murphy smells, and it's not his feet. He needs to quit hanging out in that hutch with that drunken dwarf and come out to play with the other bunnies.

Where is that tight lipped tuna hoarder, Fansome? I've got tin to pick with him. Oh well, he's probably distracted by the First Lady's cans.

We're just having a little fun here, Pigmeat.  At least I think so, and hope so...  and anybody could walk in here and  use a common word without realizing exactly what they stepped in.  Hopefully that isn't their 'karma'.

That 'Seven Trees Radio' thing rather inspired me (thank you, Unknown Name!)--- I went right outside and roped one of the remaining trees to get a decent receiving antenna up again.  I've been using the half-assed remains of what the first pine tree took down, at a low height, wrong length and too close to the house, and it has kind of sucked-- even worse as it was still using the 300-ohm intended for transmitting as the feedline.  Think I'll use coax this time, hopefully help my noise situation.

Ah-ha! I thought you and the Bunny Boys were back at it?

I nearly pulled a large red oak down on myself setting up for a tx in a creek bottom about a week after the water receded from a big flood. I didn't think the ground would still be that saturated after a week of warm dry weather? Ha! That tree started to shift when I start to haul the antenna line back over the branch. It was over nine feet in circumference, five feet above the ground. I chose it because of all the tilted trees in that bottom it was the one still looking solid.

I cut the haul line and went up on the hillside. "Man pulls huge oak over on self." isn't how I want my death to be described on the news.

Get back to it. I've got to call Karma.

If you have Seven Trees, you can make a loop antenna.
If four fell down, you could make a delta loop.  ;D
