Liddy was entertaining. They were both on 770 AM WABC in the afternoon and evening back in the 1990s.
They both knew their audiences and whether entertained, enlightened, or outraged people were still listening to their shows, and talking about it. It was either "He said this yesterday and it was in The (NY) Post today!" or "Do you know what that (expletive) said in the radio?!"
That was the NY talk radio scene back then.
Doing that on 8992 right now.
Thank you!

Huh? / Re: Rush Limbaugh Has Lung Cancer
« on: February 03, 2021, 0343 UTC »He was a customer of a former employer back in the 1990s. Actually was a pretty nice guy IRL.
I don't think his more rabid fans and detractors realized that most of his on air stuff was shtick, Ticom?
I really liked G. Gordon Liddy's show from that era. Gord was a first class nut, instructing his listeners regularly of the many way's to kill someone with a freshly sharpened No. 2 pencil.

« on: February 07, 2020, 0122 UTC »They often have the mixing console set wrong and feed S4481 at times along with EAMs. Also for giggles it was an old (1950s) US Army practice to send voice over fsk, and it worked fine. What I mean is a constant fsk bcast signal was mixed with voice at the transmitter, the human at the other end just had to put up with the fsk, while the rrty machine ignored the voice traffic and continued to print.

Amateur Radio / Re: Best Band/Frequencies to Start on CW?
« on: February 06, 2020, 1819 UTC »
If you have a local buddy you are practicing CW with, the higher HF bands (15m, 17m, 12m, 10m) are usually dead at night for DX work, but work OK for local contacts on groundwave. I was always partial towards 15 because my 40m dipole loaded up on there just fine.
In general the old Novice sub-bands on HF are probably your best bet for a slow speed CW QSO, and there are enough old timers on there who will slow down for you, or CW beginners who are no faster than you are.
