comments?


I bought one hoping to receive 10kw WTAW clearly at night
from 30 miles away. It's a nice radio but didn't solve
that midnight reception problem. My Grundig Yacht Boy 400
receives just as well as the CCRadio Plus.

Isn't our old friend WTAW on streaming audio as well? I think I recall
hearing that it is. As a thought to the original poster, perhaps the
stations he is seeking are on streaming audio over the web as well.


Incidentally, I'd love to be able to get KMVL-AM in Madisonville where
you are, at the in-town family home site in College Station, at night,
chuckle. But at night on 1220 when KMVL-AM is at 3 watts, that's even a
few DB worse than your choice for 10KW, grin.

I'm just lazy. My IC-756PRO also receives it pretty well
on my G5RV. But my computer and ICOM are not in my bedroom
and I like to set the CCRadio timer to one hour so it will
turn off automatically after I go to sleep listening to
Coast-To-Coast AM with George and Art.

WTAW advertises 10kw but may run at reduced power at night.
That might be part of the problem. And I could switch over
to KMVL but music doesn't put me to sleep as fast as Art
Bell. :-)

No wonder it puts you to sleep. Here you are with an IQ of nearly 170
and to have to listen to perfect morons using 10 gallon words
inappropriately must just lull you into unconsciousness before they
reach the end of their speil. You have to be a masochist!

I lost interest in Art Bell when he interviewed a lady who said,
"I got into the mind of the spider, as he crawled across the wall."

Now "Be The Beast" is on the National Geographic channel.
Did you hear Art Bell interview Wayne Green?

Wayne's recommended reading list was pretty amazing. Did they really
fake the moon shot in a TV studio?

I distinctly recall him interviewing a guy who was discussing how, if you just
thought about it hard enough, you could be telekinetic and move large boudlers
around just like Luke in The Empire Strikes Back. He kept saying something
like, "You can't be Jesus, you can't be Satan, but anything else you can be!"

:-)

Just because Art interviews loons doesn't mean that (1) he's one or (2) his
listeners are. It's just entertainment, plain and simple...
