Is There Some Way...

...to edit spelling errors, even just one letter or punctuation, or correcting run on sentences, without making it look like you changed the meaning of your posts by the "Edited 5 times" footnotes? Maybe just a longer time to edit? This annoys me when so many people disagree with the posts.

Re: Re:

Wrong, as usual. We need Trump out of the public eye. The sooner that happens, the better. I'm sure glad I don't live in Ann Arbor, and just listen to NPR and watch CNN. Trying to lock up ex Presidents is what they do in backwards Third World countries. Another term with Biden and his puppetmasters...

Seriously, almost none of this turmoil would have happened if Trump was President. Deep down, you know it. They were illegitimately afraid of him, due to US media hyperbole, but that's what we needed and need now. The media has been able to hide Biden's incompetency in this country by censoring and ...

Re: Is it a common practice....

Very common practice. It is to reduce the noise. It extends the distance you can get the station without all kinds of reception issues, especially in a car. For monaural programming, there's not much point in broadcasting in Stereo. In the old days, you could just push the Mono/Stereo button and it ...

Re: Local Media Blames Messenger for WSJ Column about Dearborn

Could something about the WSJ author's faith be triggering this response? I told you about my neighbor 50 years ago who said he was born in Palestine, and said flat out he hated adherents to that faith. His extended family recently gave a contribution to one of the squad members. Even if there is ju...

Re: She Talks Crazy Talk

Call her up. You can probably find her number online. I suspect she's very lonely. And very angry. A good match for you.

You might end up on the wrong end of a Dateline episode though. Check her laundry room for bleach bottles first.

“Content Center” is what Sinclair also called WEYI’s newsroom… y’all know how well that gimmick worked out for them up until they laid off most of the staff.

She Talks Crazy Talk

If you believe this crap, YOU are the one who is crazy. At first, I thought it was satire. Or maybe the Babylon Bee on an off day. So this is where "The Flower Children" were going back in 1967?

The IBOC Sidebands are there. So Stereo should be possible on the AM signal.

Re: Please Help Decipher Mystery Word in 910 WFDF Promo

Since the last time I checked, the IBOC sidebands around 910 kHz are still there, so I assume it would still be possible to broadcast in Stereo on the AM signal. I'll check for the sidebands later when the skywave starts rolling in. I'll have to check the Accurian when I have access to it.

Re: If You Like Your Car, You Can Keep Your Car?

Progress is rarely easy. Hell, I could be stuck listening to AM radio instead of 60,000,000 songs at my finger tips for $5 a month. Considering that there hasn't been a battery developed for cars without serious problems in the last 100 years, I'm not so sure about progress. Then there's these litt...
