Re: WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET

I agree that W4's directional pattern is amazingly accurate. WCEN's is another I would place in that category. I was involved at 102.9 when the compromise with 102.7 occurred. They actually had a consultant come out to the site (at the time the gravel pit hill off Scio Church and Wagner Roads) on a ...

Re: Canada's Lax Gun Laws Lead to Another Mass Shooting

I wasn't meaning you. It's the closet Liberals here who took offence. Ok, I get the pretend "Gee-Golly-Oh-Willikers" innocent bit you play here, but..... ....are you so dense that you that you think liberals would rise to object to your anti-gun rhetoric? I don't know how it is in whatever pretend ...

Re: Canada's Lax Gun Laws Lead to Another Mass Shooting

We also have one of the most lenient punishment problems in the world. How many felonies has your boy Bragg plead down to misdemeanors since elected? How many felons caught with guns has he let out with little or no bail prior to trial? Correct. The recent MSU shooter McRae had been arrested on ...

Re: Guys going to showers

In my part of the world men are expected to make an appearance of sorts at a bridal shower, for the obvious reason of being looked over, then graciously disappear. It was too long ago for me to remember; the Earth was still cooling.

Re: Healing My Heart Again

Wow. Great heartfelt words. I lost a cat a a couple years ago....there is not a day that goes by that I don't in some fashion mourn her. Amazing animal in all regards; she made my life much better. I took a lot of photos of her, and if you upload photos automatically to Google Photos they will later ...

Re: MP3

I suggest FLAC rather than MP3. You will then have the full audio quality of the CD. I understand that to fit your persona here on the board you need to feign helplessness and technical ignorance, but get some software, spend an afternoon messing with it, and anyone....even you....can do it. The ...

Re: FM Antenna Price Inflation and Performance Deflation?

There are better prices available here and there, but remember: certainly less than 1 in 100 people would even understand what its for, and even a sliver of those would have an interest in purchasing and installing an outdoor directional "FM" antenna. I have RF in every cell of my old body, but I ...

Re: 910 am super station breaking news

WMTG was a good idea when Harper put it together many years ago, but I don't think it was given much of a chance. Check, check, and double check. Harper was PD at the time, but the project really was not his other than some execution. Specs graduates running the board, with the resultant near ...

Re: Christmas Isn't Far Off

Young people who have an interest in shooting sports, properly trained by qualified instructors, learn proper procedures, respect for the weapon and its power. It's been done in organized groups like the Boy and Girl Scouts for years, along with parents and relatives dating back a century or more. I ...

Re: Self Checkout Gone at Home Depot

The Canadian retail landscape is littered with the carcasses of US retailers who failed to make the grade in Canada. Lowes is the latest casualty. They sold off their Canadian business earlier this year and the new owners are now rebranding all the stores as Rona. Probably the most spectacular ...
