[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 193813, member: 7"] I detest commercial radio now that I am older. Advertizing has gotten mostly stupid. I really do not understand what they are teaching now days because it cannot work well. So I am an NPR fan when it comes to broadcast band radio. When I was a kid, I listened to all sorts of stuff. SW, AM, & FM. I was a late night fan of the Charlie Douglas Road Gang on clear channel AM out of New Orleans. "King Edward Cigar time". LOL! The majority of my listening now days is spent on the ham bands. Working contests and rare DX stations. There is a group right now on several bands giving out contacts from Malpelo Island in the pacific. It's only activated maybe once a decade. Think of it like Stone Mountain. Only surrounded by water. No place to land a boat safely. They use a sort of catwalk with a ladder to get onto the rock. A lot of climbing. Temps to 115F daily. The ham population in the US is now over 700,000, A lot of people playing radio. [/QUOTE]
