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.

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.

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...
