What did this posting have to do with shortwave radio ??

Answer: NOTHING

Go back to trolling in alt.fan.art-bell where you came from, "King Pineapple"

As long as Mr. and Mrs Howell, the Professor, Mary Ann, the Skipper, and
Ginger still support him, he'll be ok I'm sure.

Never say never.
Nothing is absolute.

Dear Mr Pineapple:

It appears that I owe you an apology.

I read a bit closer the context of your original
posting, and indeed, there was a shortwave aspect
to it - specifically where allegations were going
to/from the BBC. (which does maintain a shortwave
service)

I regret that the recent political postings in this NG
were responsible for a "knee jerk" response from
here, as I suspected your posting was political in
it's primary content, which it now appears to have not been.

I offer my apologies to you for my
earlier response/posting, which I now fully retract
along with references to alleged (other)
postings in other NG's.

I recently spent 2 weeks in Hawai'i, including a week on Kaua'i. Besides
driving by time station WWVH, which is located down on the southwest coast
of Kaua'i near Barking Sands, I also went to Moloa'a Bay on the northeast
coast, which is famous as the filming site for the "Gilligan's Island"
pilot; the bay backgrounds were also used for the opening and closing
credits.

Cool, I don't remember the pilot, (though I know that I've seen it, I'm
certainly old enough), I guess I thought that it was all filmed in the studio.


If I see the pilot, I'll need to look close.

Regards.

The pilot is very rarely seen on tv, as it has totally different people
playing some of the characters. No Ginger/Tina Louise (she was played by
someone else), no Mary Ann, no Professor. Nick at Nite's TV Land shows it on
occasion...

Lyrics of the Gilligan's Island theme music, pilot episode

[fake calypso music (C major, all I-IV-V) and Caribbean accent]

In tropical sea is a tropic port,
vacation fun is the favorite sport,
this is the place where the tourists flock,
renting the boats at the busy dock.

Two secretaries from USA
sail on the Minnow this lovely day.
A high school teacher is next aboard,
all taking trip that they cannot afford.

The next two people are millionaires,
they got no worries, they got no cares,
they climb aboard and they step inside
with just enough bags for a six-hour ride.

Tourist come, tourist go,
tourist touring to and fro,
these five nice tourists, they take this trip,
relaxing on deck on this little ship.

The weather is clear and the sun is hot,
[thunderclap]
The weather is clear?!
[thunderclap]
I think it is not!

Tourist come, tourist go,
tourist tossing to and fro,
the captain is brave, he's --
[thunderclap]
Caramba! What a storm!

The captain is brave, he's a fearless man,
and Gilligan helps him all that he can,
the wheel she break and lose all control,
S. S. Minnow do the rock and roll.

The sea is now calm and the weather grand,
where is the Minnow upon the sand?
What happen now will bring you a smile,
the adventures of Gilligan,
and the Skipper,
and the millionaire,
and Mrs. millionaire,
and the other tourists on Gilligan's Isle.

-----------------------------------------------
[closing theme:]

We leave all our friends on this tropic shore,
perhaps they will be here forevermore.
Maybe a rescue will set them free,
tune in next week, and then you will see!
