I'm really getting back into the radio listening hobby now.
 
My cable tv here is now completely awful. It is virtually unwatchable and
unlistenable.The cable company refuses to repair it. (and I can't put up an
antenna or satellite dish here. too many trees for satellite reception
anyways. It's "Smokey The Bear" woods thick.

and although I was (and still am a bit) upset about the cable tv no longer
coming in watchable, I finally say "phooey on the cable tv". It just gives me
another excuse to once again start monitoring radio stations like I used to.
And besides, in today's atmosphere, even if the cable tv came in perfectly, who
could see the actual program picture anyways with all those station logos,
advertising banners, titles of shows, text crawls, and a bunch of other
superimposed stuff constantly covering the picture anyways?

just one more excuse to go back to listening to the radio instead of watching
tv.

I do still have my old videotapes that I can watch, so I'll probably alternate
between watching them and listening to the radio. But once I've seen them a few
times, then there's not much reason to watch them anymore.

So it looks like I'll soon be posting my actual shortwave radio loggings here.

Mr. 500,

Do not be unduly upset by Mr. 390's official notification. If you are a
resident of the US, you will not be considered to be DXing if you listen to
the domestic SW broadcasters.

During your SW hiatus, you may have missed the prediction of the Earth's
destruction by Planet X in May of 2003, the announcement that the President
of the United States is a cannibal and a Satan worshipper and the discovery
that all of the world's white people are descended from a black man, cursed
by God, whose skin was turned white with leprosy.

Thanks to the US domestic broadcasters, you can still use your SW radio for
getting the important news which never makes it's way into the major media.

Even Kepler made mistakes...


the announcement that the President
of the United States is a cannibal and a Satan worshipper


I knew it! Thank you for this obviously 'insider' information.
Judging from the scars and wounds on his face, it would appear he
likes his meals rare. The undead fight back..


and the discovery
that all of the world's white people are descended from a black man, cursed
by God, whose skin was turned white with leprosy.


The Mormon church in the late sixties and early seventies taught
just the opposite. Black skin was a curse against some who sinned
against God. Their offspring too! Africa was populated by these
newly cursed black folks via immigration from South America, where
the original altering of pigmentation took place.

I recently asked an adherent to the 'Mormon' faith about this and
was told it's not mainstream church policy anymore.

Even MediaGuy has had two or three reincarnations in this newsgroup
over the last while..

SW is good for more than DX or just logging what you hear. Believe it or
not you can actually listen to the program content. There is new, music,
commentary and other programs that cover about any subject under the sun.
