Default Proposing Yahoo Aircheck group

Hello
I am an aircheck collector and a fan of old music radio and disk
jockeys. As of now there are only two forums for us; the ReelRadio
forum and a primarily Canadian forum.

If more old hands in the radio trade and other aircheck collectors show
enough interest I propose the establishment of a Yahoo group dealing in
airchecks and old music radio (eg. Top 40 radio from the Fifties to the
Eighties).

Sadly the ReelRadio forum is being operated under strict rules that
preclude advertising other aircheck collections or posting excerpts
from other sources. And its operator, "Uncle Ricky", enforces these
rules with an iron fist. I was blocked from the message board
apparently for asking how to get legal permission for putting unscoped
airchecks on an internet radio station. The final straw for me came
when Uncle Ricky berated Anita Bonita, former air personality, for
putting excerpts from a third source on the board. He pitched a
tantrum and threatened to take down the message board.

We as aircheck collectors do not need to suffer for Uncle Ricky's
desire to further his self-aggrandizement (he apparently wants nobody
else to provide airchecks) at the expense of the overall preservation
of old music radio.

Thank you

Ken
