It has not escaped notice that you have become one of the more
responsible contributors to the shortwave newsgroup. I've been
following rrs for nearly 15 years and have never seen it so near death
for such an extended period of time as it currently is.

As you know, the destruction was done by a relatively few number of
individuals (the group has never recovered from RHF's i.e. Roy Fisk,
relentless campaign of changing the subject heading of every shortwave
related post to sabotage the thread. Consequently rrs was rendered
nearly useless as an archived resource for shortwave information.

Frankly, I don't see it ever recovering to the former days of
excellence but hope springs eternal. So thank you for at least keeping
rec.radio.shortwave on life support while serious shortwavers hope
for its resurrection. Your efforts are very commendable.

Truthfully, he's always been like that. The only times he gets out
into the ozone, is when he gets fed up with some of the noise. Or
when someone whose purpose is not to serve the hobby starts making
claims he can't backup. A certain mouthy college instructor comes to
mind, but there are many who fit the criteria.

But he's always offered solid and consistent radio content, even
when between distractions.

I bought an R8A because of his endorsement. And tried antenna
configurations, and transmission line configurations based on his
shared experiences.

There's no doubt, when things got noisy, he could be in there
swinging with the best of them, but even then, he kept up his radio
content.

Does anyone remember this jingle from WLS?

"What's the weather for the weekend gonna be, will it be
hot...cold...rain....snow."

From the middle 60s. I would hear it while visiting my cousins in Dowagiac
Mi.
WLS was my cousins favorite station.

I used to listen to them every night. Deregulation added a new 50,000
Watt station in friggin' St George, Utah on 890 on destroyed WLS in the
Southwest.
