I understand you just acquired the old www.frn.net domain name for your Fansome Radio Network?

I've been dead for over a week and I'm still waiting for you to get your boat over here so I can take all the fun out of Hell.
BTW, I got a little hungry. I found a three headed dog wandering around,so I ate it. I hope it didn't belong to anyone?

General Radio Discussion / Al, you're an expert in all things penguin.........
« on: April 13, 2013, 2011 UTC »
can you tell me if the current reports of global warming benefiting worldwide penguin populations can possibly
be true? Will the little beasts be sunning themselves in the Bahamas by 2020? Will they understand your propagation reports?
Thanks in advance, your pal, Pigmeat.

General Radio Discussion / That durned Bunny!
« on: July 31, 2012, 0200 UTC »
One of his personalities outted me today,the second time in a year, this time on the Alex Brains blog. Then another of his personalities threatened to kill me on the same blog? He's got a few problems and apparently he thinks I'm one of them?
Then he said I had two faces? Hell,the one have is butt ugly,why would I want another one?
I said it on Poets blog and I'll say it here,I was his broadcasting partner and he's turned on me,not once,but twice. If he'll turn on me he'll turn on anyone. Don't trust him as far as you can throw him.
BTW,If you want to know why he chose "Mosby" as a handle,it's what he thought my mother's maiden name was. I think he thought he could use it to keep a check on me on the FRN? That "Mosby" took on a life of his own was entertaining to watch. I suspect the real "Grey Ghost" is rolling in his grave.
If you folks could get news of his death threat out to the wider radio world, I'd appreciate it. I don't care who knows,it's not a private matter. Disseminating things like this wide and far is always a good idea.
I thank you.

MW Loggings / 1710 unids......
« on: December 11, 2011, 0400 UTC »
I've been hearing two stations battle it out on 1710 for the past three nights in the 6-7 UTC time frame. The stronger of the two plays 60's pop music,with a very nice signal at times. Of course,said signal goes to Hell when they id. The station seems to be automated.
I'm guessing the Baltimore/DC area for this one,as that's the heading the loop is pointing towards during best reception.
The second station is in Spanish and to my south. My guess is a south Florida pirate. Their signal is just above audible at best,but the music is definitely Latin American in style. Occasionally there will be what sounds like preaching during the music breaks. Again no id on this one either.
Have fun with 'em.

General Radio Discussion / Commander Bunny a snitch? Deep down I didn't want to believe it.........
« on: October 07, 2011, 1903 UTC »
but I read the WBNY blog entry from yesterday. CB is threatening to drop a dime on anyone who relays Crystal Ship programming.
I'd been hearing the snitch rumors for a long time,but the guy was friend of mine from my early days in pirating,so I blew it off. Seeing the blog post leaves no doubt in my mind,if he's going to rat out pirates who disagree with him now,he was fully capable of it in the past.
I'm through with the guy and advise any pirates new or old to stay far away from him.
