...And they just read my letter over China Radio International :-)
I just cannot keep my name off the airwaves these days...
On CRI's "Listener's Garden" an e-mail letter of mine was just read thanking them for a QSL card and their English listener's magazine. What fun! :-D Bruce Jensen California |

They just read my letter over Radio New Zealand International :-)

Lets not count Brother Stair. I think there was one more but I can't find it. I'll be ready for RNZI tonight! :-) LONG time ago I had a couple of letters read by Jerry and Dody Cowan on "His and Hers" (Radio Nederland), by Keith Glover in Melbourne, and by Lynn Henderson and Charles Gursky up in Montreal at RCI. *I have a feeling that CRI may have read a letter of mine recently as well, but I may have missed it. Bruce- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I heard it Bruce, good deal.:-) That wasn't as sappy as I thought it'd be...lol...but it was a nice letter. These places really like when you do that. I always make a point to handwrite a letter and more often than not I send a postcard from my area - be it the BCB or SW. Was that Myra singing at the beginning of that segment? Whoever it was has a beautiful voice. Good job!! Hi, Gregg - pretty fun :-) *Yeah, the Te Maori music was really pretty, and lovely vocals. *The DX report from NZ is interesting too - tough African stations for NAm, they can take for granted. I have not yet sent any postcards, but I just developed a "SWL" card that I now send to every station that has full data on the back plus this photo on one side: http://tinyurl.com/2a7ufss It is a good representation of the natural countryside where I live. Bruce- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Bruce, I must have missed this post amist all the crap going on in the group over the last three days.:-) That is a SWEET picture. Hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it I say. Sure would have been easier for me in the day to do it that way but I was so new to the hobby.....I just felt I literally had to convince them I heard them ie; micro cassette tapes /hand written letters / post cards from my area and lots and lots of IRC's. I know I had to have sent over three/four hundred dollars over seas all together in IRC's and cash, I'm sure it made many happy and sometimes with nothing in return. :-) Live and learn, I won't do it that way again. I received a call yesterday from a friend and I have a feeling I'm finally going to land of fantastic receiver from him free of charge. I think I may have an idea, but not for sure. But he has worked for the gubiment over 42 yrs. and has access to things I'm sure I don't even know about. I think I am going to have to upgrade my antenneeeeers here shortly. :-) All my fingers crossed! |

Between you and Ace I have alot of catching up to do, I doubt I could ever put in the time to do what Steve has, but who knows. If I can get everything situated in my room the way I want it ( I use to) and maybe use a couple of pooters I'm not using and put them into service and dig up my two old coax's and just redo some things - it will make it easier. We shall see. Congrats on the CRI. You do know though, you really need to get a life. ;-P |

I love listening to CRI but then when I think of how they "literally" own this country and all the jobs many americans would have loved to have had being over there.....I just kind of have to block it out or I don't enjoy their broadcast - - and SHE IS SOOOO FREEKING NICE and pleasant to listen to. Damn that CRI. ;-) |

I have a wife and son with whom I spend tons of time (just went to his spring band concert last night - in their new fancy concert hall), go to symphonies, take long hikes, ride my bike 15-25 miles daily, and I have a full time job! This radio thing is just a hobby :-) But good luck on that improved antenna system! Bruce |

Peking used to be... |

Bruce- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hey, I hope you didn't take offense to that because I sure didn't mean it that way. I've never done the symphony thing before. I have been to a real nice concert hall on the campus at the University of Cincinnati, absolutely beautiful. Me and my Dad just opened the doors and walked right in before a football game and there were three girls doing the violine {sp} thing, sounded stunning. The kids thing (two here) is a full time job in itself. ;-) |
