Did Jay, Al Weiner, and Mal ever figure that one out?

I think Mal rebuilt one but it only received Captain Ron broadcasting from his cardboard box outside Fansome’s trailer behind the A&P.

Off topic, whatever became of Capt. Ron? He, Andy Yoder, and I appeared on a regional radio show to talk Pirate Radio two nights before 9/11. I saw him logged in to the FRN a couple of times later on, then he was gone.

Fansome's constant nonsense about penguins and tire pressure probably drove him off

I haven’t heard from him in years. We used to trade emails, if you are out there Ron, let us know. I’ll try some of my old email addresses and see if I get an answer,
