Next weeks contest: guess how many Volkswagons can fit in Joy Behars mouth. I pick five.

If Rosie O'Donnell jumps in the water Rosie doesn't get wet, the water gets ugly.

It's a Cusco marathon! I keep waiting for Coast to Coast AM to start but the song keeps playing forever. The deep voiced announcer needs to come on already and say "From West of the Rockies...this is Coast to Coast AM"

It's Radio True North! Thanks for the shout out! Always great to hear an old friend. The killer signal should have been my first clue.

Tuned in at 0532 utc, had to select lower sideband due to local QRM of some kind on upper, hear bits of audio popping in & out above noise floor, soft pop tune, heard ID under mud.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
