Re: Brush with greatness thread

Once chatted with Lt. Carpenter from McHale's Navy. He was a nice guy and didn't seem at all tiring from the questions we all asked. Bill Lambier once just missed hitting me with a door and never said a word, just strolled by with his entourage. As far as greatness there was the time that the former...

Re: WLNZ to Michigan Radio?

A few years ago I attended a talk by the head of the U-M radio. He told how U-M got the GR station WVGR. A grad (with money) who lived in GR area wanted to be able to listen to the U-M B-cast of Mich. football. Obviously not a Ufer fan. So when he saw a station on the market he bought it and donated...

Re: April Moss

I wasn't looking but look who popped up on a twitter feed. @HeartlandSignal Garrett Soldano, a top candidate in Michigan’s GOP gubernatorial primary, said on a podcast earlier this month that life begins “when DNA is created,” an even more radical anti-abortion stance than usual for Republicans. Whi...

Re: BBC World Service

I got the Beeb on 9410 mid evening out of the Ascension transmitter here in SE Mich. It was good enough to listen to and not be bothered by any noise issues.

Re: This TV 4.2 OTA

Is it me or do these channels turn a perfectly good 2 hr movie to a 3 hr marathon?

I long for the good old days of limited ads per hour.

The same fate with Monitoring Times mag. I see one of the regular contributors (Gayle Van Horn) does an annual book.

Re: Parallels between the abortion debate and slavery

I thought the Court was talking about virgin births. Not once did anyone address the sperm side of the issue. My biology class said it took two items to create a human. It seems that those folks never took that class. Shouldn't the OTHER half be held responsible also?

Re: Versatile C. Crane FM Very Low Power Transmitter

I once picked up a kit for a FM transmitter at the Dayton Hamvention. A little circuit board about the size of a 9v battery. 39" wire ant. and a 9v batt. for power and it worked almost a 1/2 mile. Just plug in the headphone jack and adjust the level. I just used it for inside a warehouse so I could ...

Re: St John Macomb ER closed tonight

Staffing can be a problem when you don't replace people that leave no matter what the reason. Then some hospitals will then pay up to $100 per hour to traveling nurses to fill in. Some are quitting to get the big buck slots. https://www.wlns.com/news/sparrow-caregivers-to-rally-for-fair-contract-saf...
