Re: Paul W. Smith moving to middays + other changes at WJR

I enjoy listening to CKLW's programming throughout the day. Aside from when they're talking about specific local or government issues, many of the topics and content are fairly relatable to an American. It's also refreshing to hear alternative perspectives that aren't put through the lens of "democr...

I wish WJR would sound a lot less like WJR and a lot more like WLW.
I wish we had a WGN in town.

Re: Auto Insurance

Allstate is the only company who comes close on price in this neck of the woods, but I've read bad things about their handling of claims (much more so on the homeowners policy side of things, which is why their premiums are often cheaper than the competition). I have Allstate for a homeowner and 2 ...

Re: Auto Insurance

Since Allstate was so cheap and argumentative, and demanded only a short segment of pipe to be replaced to reduce the cost, I now have another damaged section of pipe further down the line, and I'm going to have to go through it all over again. Foolish. It was hell. My understanding is generally th...

Re: Artificial Intelligence is the biggest thing since the internet

I haven't used Tapatalk in a very long time, but isn't visiting the board as comparatively simple as reading a text message conversation and sending a text? One doesn't have to be locked away in the basement all day to do that. I visit the board on my phone, it requires little to no effort and time....

Re: FM DX e-skip 5/31/23

Last time I caught an opening was 2020; I was driving on I-94 from Port Huron to Detroit, and 98.7 WDZH was obliterated without a trace by KLUV from Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX for about 20 minutes. That was also my first experience with e-skip, and understanding what it was.

Re: FM DX e-skip 5/31/23

Next received 95.1 WAPE from Jacksonville.

95.1, 96.7, and 97.5 seem to be the hot frequencies for me here. Unfortunately those freqs might not be great to DX on in SW Ontario.

FM DX e-skip 5/31/23

Anyone getting any new catches today? I was tipped off on an e-skip event today, when placed over a map, is shaped like a donut over the eastern portion of the US. My radio is experiencing lots of capture effect, but none of these stations are regularly identifying themselves, so I'm not sure what I...

Re: Hampton Inn

I have found from experience that using my phone as an alarm clock can be unreliable. Google tends to push Android updates overnight which has prompted the phone to reboot itself on several occasions, disabling the alarm. I picked up an analog travel alarm clock at WalMart for five bucks and keep i...

Re: Hampton Inn

Really? A new Holiday Inn Express by me has about 4 pallets of clocks in the parking lot, ready to be installed. They said they're riding a wave of interest in clocks by Gen-Z, and they made it illegal to not have a hotel-provided clock in the room.

Re: Hampton Inn

Confirm with the hotel you are not allowed to bring your own clock. Let us know so we can reassess the shtick of your luddite victimhood.
