Hey Tardo, on that rather sad exercise in narcissism that you call
your "website",

Obviously, you have no achievements you ar eproud of. I do.

the
things I did.

I wish I understood this obession people have with your life

Not an obsession at all, it's just that most folks in the radio hobby come
to
understand that 'Eduardo' is an asshole!


Well put. I wonder if a whole truckload of Preparation H would help him.

You should, then, ask yourself why most radio broadcasting folks who have
come in contact with DXers believe that the DXers are the odd ones; it was
not so a decade or two ago, and even further back, the DXer was perceived as
a friend of radio. No longer so.

If they think we're odd, that's fine. I'm sure the broadcasters are
also a little quirky at times, no?

It's a quirky business, where one lives quarter to quarter based on radio
ratings in the larger markets and where a certain degree of controlled
insanity makes for good programming and fun for listeners. It's not an
insurance company, in other words.

No, but in the days of spring loaded rocker relays in broadcast
transmitters, a tube of Prep H from an all-night drug store would be an
adequate temporary substitute for lubricant!

There, you see. In any event, you were about to say something about
when/where you went to college, and whether this was a happy time of
life for you.

I'm not sure it matters much, but I dropped out of high school to build my
first radio station.

So far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter at all. But I wonder if this
at least partially explains the enormous chip on your shoulder and
your persistent need to somehow 'prove yourself''.

Why would building a #1 station in a market with 40 signals at age 18
require proving myself... again? And actually, I went back to school nearly
a decade later and did quite nicely, while at the same time programming a
group of radio stations.

It's your behavior, so you tell me.

Perhaps you worked with people who didn't have sufficient appreciation
of what you'd accomplished. Maybe they tried to use your lack of
formal education against you in some petty, political way. Who knows?
This isolated piece of your personal history could have been subtly
relevant on many occasions, the cumulative effect being the chip you
now have on your shoulder.
