Proving all those who insisted Frackleton was denying the truth were not only right, but right with a bullet. Funny, how karma works. Many of those who ran Frackleton off also insisted that shortwave broadcasting shutting off the transmitters in favor of internet broadcasting were, in fact, short sighted. Hmmm. And as the politics of the world continue to become more dangerous, and the internet becomes more and more censorable, how many broadcasters are looking back at the HF transmitters gathering dust as a possible resource to communicating with the world? Hmmm? Good ol' Eduardo... He still alive??? As far as I know. One person who died, is, Mike Bryant, check the post labeled 'S.O.S' here on rec.radio.shortwave. I never saw any response to it. I sent his daughter my condolences. I've seen his obit on the net. Holy smoke, I didn't know that. I guess it was when I was having my health problems. Mike was a different kind of guy. RIP... |

Yeah, I was surprised when I first read it. Thought it might be a spoof. But then I went looking and found his obit in a January Louisville paper. |
