https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty_Million_Frenchmen

The title is a reference to the hit 1927 song "Fifty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong" by Willie Raskin, Billy Rose, and Fred Fisher, which compared free attitudes in 1920s Paris with censorship and prohibition in the United States.

<<Prohibition>>  etait la periode d'interdiction de l'alcool aux Etas-Unis.

Higher gain, lower noise figure, lower power consumption and better linearity than modules based on SPF5189Z and similar LNA MMICs

Of course, they provide no actual data  so we just have to take their word for it.

If it is, I'm surprised you could you could understand a word that was said.

The parts is English were straight forward. I must have been sleeping when they explained Gaelic in school because the rest of it was indecipherable.

The whole premise for this station seems odd to me.

I don't perceive Pigmeat's posts as angry (in the literal sense of the word). The posts may not be specific to the topic at hand and I may not understand what he's writing about half the time but...angry? No, no, no. 

AND YES, I KNOW IT'S A JOKE.

In which country ?

Only partially related but I'm fairly sure that Danish authorities have no jurisdiction over the location of Charleston Radio.

It's been a while since they have been reported. Perhaps they were on holiday?

SINPO 35434 with rapid fading on an SDR in Denmark. Usual programming. Some sort of 1920s recordings based upon the audio quality.
