If you look at the logs Bryant posts you'll find he logs a station
about every two minutes.

When he tunes something in, if he doesn't recognize it right away,
he looks it up on a schedule, finds the best fit, writes it down,
and moves to the next one.

Yes, I do use ILG, HFCC, and EiBi databases to determine if the
language being used matched up with known broadcasters, most of which
have been broadcasting on the same freqs and times for years. I also
look for IDs, you'll see many mentioned in the logs. Actually, when
listening to news, two minutes is plenty of time to catch a
correspondent ID.

You could do the same thing without turning on a radio and this is what
you most likely do which is to cut and past from several lists. I was
waiting for this you know. I set you up by posting to the group that you
just copy from some list. In order to cover your tracks you started
coping from more then one list but you were not quite up to the task.

Reminds me a bit of the cell phone ad "can you hear me now?"

Purists feel you should wait until the station gives positive
identification.

He's bound to get some errors, so I'd be concerned if he was doing
it for national security. But most of his logs probably are
accurate.

If you look in the archives, you'll find he's been a colorful
character, and used to spend a lot of time in flame wars - calling
just about anyone who disagreed with him a racist - even if race had
nothing to do with the discussion.

I challenge anyone to find one that's wrong. It's possible, but I
think it will be difficult. These aren't low-powered Africans. My
logs are mainly int'l broadcasters. My receiver, in recent logs, is a
Degen 1103. And I'm not doing it for national security - I'm doing it
for fun.

You copy from perfectly good lists of frequencies so what could be wrong
other than some typo you made. The only challenge here is to catch you
lying again.

Yes, this NG used to have a lot of racist posters. Any trip to the
archives will make that readily apparent. At one time instead of an
infestation of pro-Bush OT posts, we used to have a lot of people
posting pro-racism posts. So much so, in fact, that some major
racists like Kevin Strom of the National Alliance used to hang out in
here. A lot of folks, ala Hal Turner, used to suggest that the racist
posts were simply accurate. I'm not ashamed of helping to drive some
of those folks out of this NG.

It still has it's biggest racist which is YOU.

But I'm trying my best to make some actual SW-related posts.
Hopefully the passing of Nov. 2 will see people like Mark Holden
return to shortwave. For others, like Telamon and DXAce, they'll be
here, acting uncivilly and demeaning others, for trying to get this
NG back to SW.

Well you are failing at being relevant, interesting or newsworthy but at
least you are entertaining.

Some of them will go to great lengths to make up crap up and then
repeat the lies 20 times a day. Welcome to a place where some of the
people simply aren't very nice humans.

Nobody has to makeup crap about you with the wealth of opportunities you
provide.

You are not human, you are a Troll.

But witness what jerks some of them can be. And then fill the
killfile. I have no problem putting Mr. Holden back in it, even if
occasionally he can be a human.

Holden has never had a cross word toward anyone that I recall you goof
ball.

I don't think calling you on the carpet for the crap you makeup is being
a jerk.
