I don't mind a discussion of either topic as long as people want to
be civilised and actually discuss. What I hate is the juvenile
name-calling crap. With all that is going on in the world, it is
unwelcome. Besides that, why not turn on your radios, listen to
what's going on and share the interesting things you find ?

I am not a Dx'er although I do spend some time with faint signals that
come in at this location while band scanning. If I were to publish what
I listen to most of the time it would be the English broadcasts to this
region along with a few others that come in strongly despite not being
directed here. That is because I'm a program listener. I bought my
radios to hear the content on the bands because I learned years ago that
the news media in this country do not tell the whole story. From
shortwave I listen directly to what foreign nations have to say.

Usually trying to discuss something controversial in the newsgroup that
I heard on SW just brings in the Trolls, which take over the thread
every time preventing any intelligent discourse on the subject. I can
ignore the Trolls but others can't and the thread goes to hell. That's
the way it works here.

I don't go for the exotic stuff just the regular broadcasts so that is
not worth bringing up and if I want to discuss something I heard like a
news spot about a serious subject that sounded funny because of the way
it was produced I get blasted.

So that most leaves talk about the radios or antennas to post about and
even then because it is technical most people here are not able to grasp
the concepts like what specifications mean because they don¹t understand
the meaning of the logarithmic numbers or worse are some of the hams
that think they know.

That pretty much leaves Bryant who is the most interesting poster in the
group to talk about. If Bryant were to go away from the group I just
might loose interest myself. I can¹t wait to see what soap operatic
posts that whacky guy is going to make next.

It will have to be non controversial or you know what will happen.

Lately I have been enjoying music programs on radio Australia again. The
music programs they have cover the spectrum so it depends on what it is
at the time. Sometimes it's rock that I have on dozens of stations here
on FM 24 hours a day but the saving grace is they usually are promoting
groups from their country that don't get much air play here.

They have had a program where various guests were interviewed and the
person interviewed would bring their favorite music that is pretty cool
but I have not managed to hear it of late. "Margaret Throsby in
conversation with a special guest, playing their favorite music and
telling their own stories."

The music on radio Japan this morning is the usual goofy singsong
sounding stuff and sometimes it is good for a laugh.

I don't know Burr but it needs to quit.

Well, I fixed it so I don't see one of them. I'm *so* happy to not have to
keep closing out a window. Does *he* morph a lot, I noticed he added another
screen name that I also added.

Hope he sticks to just two screen names, I hate it when someone consistently
morphs, like they're going to force you to read their thoughts. Arggggggg!!

LOLOLOLOLOL What an idiot!

It boggles the mind!

I used to haunt a forum in which one guy used to, using two screen names, argue
with himself. Then, when he expanded and became a busload of people, I lost
interest in the forum and never went back.
