(OT) Earthquake in LA--5.0
 

I wish it would rain real good over here.Maybe then that sweet little
puppy Dog next door could at least lap up some water off of that
concrete slab it has to stay on all the time over there.

That little puppy is barely two something months old, perhaps going on
three months old.Yesterday, I told both of those democraps over there
the Dog needs some food and water.Yesterday at about 5:45 PM I was
putting my tools up, I saw that democrap woman's little girl (she is
between four to five years old) hitting that little Dog with some
switches.The Dog rolled over on his back, she threw the switches down
and started hitting the Dog on his belly.There is NO reason to treat a
little Dog like that! NO reason at all!

It is TRUE! democrats and libs REALLY ARE CLINICALLY INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!

That Dog goes all day long with NO food and water.The Dog oviously
doesn't get enough food.I feel sorry for that poor little puppy Dog.

My first pirate (WLBM 1530) was there in the early 60s, used a rooftop
two turn loop around the eaves, had an FM station on an "S" shaped
folded dipole but never settled on a constant frequency and was on the
verge of airing a pirate TV ch2 when I became a hippie instead. We used
to hang out at the Merry Mansion over by Cowan Rd before Camille got it..

That's a pretty good pirate story there.

Got a better one, and an FCC letter to show for it. :)

1973, I was 18. I set up a 20 watt FM pirate in a small town about 25 miles
outside of Portland, OR. *There was a large ridge between me and the city,
so virtually no signal got out of there toward Portland, and not much got
into the area FROM Portland.

The TX was a homebrew redesign of a 220 MHz AM ham rig. The coils were
simple to rewind. The oscillator stage was at ~12 MHz IIRC, and all had to
do to make it FM (it was a variable oscillator to start with) was to add a
varactor diode and bias network.

I built my own stereo modulator for it using Compactron tubes. It wasn't the
most stable, since it was a free running 19 KHz oscillator, but it did work.

Range on the setup, including a home-made 1/4 wave vertical dipole on my
roof, was ~ 15 miles, and could be heard much further away at the top of a
mountain about 26 miles distant, on a Sony stereo boom box (one of the very
earliest such). Don't know what the range on a decent car radio would have
been, since the car I drove back then didn't have a radio in it.

I had a deal with a local record shop where they would loan me a new LP in
exchange for a public radio style sponsorship plug. *It worked out really
well, and I had a good listenership (remember that signal problem mentioned
above?).

It all came crashing in one day when the local FCC field engineer stopped by
(probably didn't help that I was dissing the FCC fairly heavily) to shut me
down. *Seems that I was interfering with the channel 12 TV reception (nearly
non-existant at the best of times) of a neighbor. Two guys came to my door
and asked me if I had a pirate radio station. After admitting I did, they
asked to see it. I showed them the setup, and they asked if I had a
microphone (stupid question, since I obviously did, and they could see it
there on the boom at the console). I said yes, and they said "open it, and
tell your listeners you're going off the air by order of the FCC." *I got on
and made my spiel, then they said, "now, turn it off, and LEAVE it off!"

They didn't even confiscate anything (amazing, that was, especially since
hanging on the window frame above my console was my 3rd. class phone license
with broadcast endorsement, which wasn't even cancelled, and I went on to
gain a 1st class phone license a few years later), but I did get a nice
letter from them a few weeks later. Paraphrasing: You done it. Don't do it
again, or we'll slam your butt in jail or fine you $20G, or both!..

It was fun. It wasn't my last pirate. I even had one in Portland on AM a
year later. Cat and mouse with Uncle Charlie.. it's the American way. :)

GREAT story BA, you painted the picture very well. A classic.:-)

You should probably think about moving pretty soon.

I wished no one in RRS lived in California or any of the surrounding
fault areas. Because when it goes down, I mean "really" goes down, it
will be unlike anything just about any of us has seen.

Don't be ridiculous. *We have spent many billions retrofitting in the
past 15 years. *Even when we had 40 billion dollars in damage, we only
lost about 75 lives.

Hope you're right Dave, many in La. never thought it would happen to
them either.

Congrats! You've actually owned more radio stations than 'Eduardo' ever
did!


I have never owned an illegal, law-breaking pirate station. I have owned
a
bunch of legal, licensed AM and FM stations... even one commercial SW
license I chose to surrender.

Hogwash!

I just recently gave you the name of a person of enormous recognition and
integrity... the past chairperson of the Pulitzer Prize board and a 30-year
member of the Interamerican Press Association, publisher of a significant
newspaper in Kansas: Edward Seaton.

Until you contact him and ask if I owned radio stations in Ecuador in the
period between 1964 and 1970, you can shut up.

Edward and I were friends while he was in Ecuador on a Fulbright Scholarship
grant he received after graduating from Harvard. He's been in my stations,
heard them on the air and knows about them. What better proof could you want
than someone of such a prominent public profile?

And you can shove it up your ass, faux Hispanic.

You owned no radio stations.

In other words, you know that if you ask you will be proven for the
misanthrope, cynic and liar that you are.

Of course, a post from you with out a reference to the rectum would be
incomplete. We know what is on your mind!

Seismic activity near Saint Louis? It is that time of year?

???

RSOE Havaria is a good website to check out.
I doubt if Earthquakes ever pay any attention to a certain time of year.

I'm in no hurry. I figure with the global cooling going on there is
nothing to worry about.

We're all aware of the potential. It's part of the price you pay to
live in a place with interesting topography. I am 10 miles from the San
Andreas Fault. I do not put heavy stuff where it can fall on people. I
keep a couple weeks work of food, water, and propane at the house, and
never let my tanks get below 1/3 full. I think about "the big one"
every day.
