Did you listen to Gunsmoke on Radio?


Mikek

PS. I have 3 stations on my internet radio that play oldies radio.
Gunsmoke, Philip Marlowe, Lone Ranger, Jack Benny, Have Gun Will Travel,
Our Miss Brooks, The FatMan, Fibber Magee and Molly, or as I said,
oldies radio.

I love Internet radio. Since I got it (two, actually), I dropped XM.
They're still trying like hell ($4/mo vs. $18?) to get me back,
though. Maybe, if I get a new car.

I remember being stuck at a job during my university
days with only AM radio to fill the quiet times.
It was 1978 or 1979 and CBS radio was re-running old radio
shows from the 40's and 50's. Like reading, they
conjured up mental pictures and creativity that
film/video and CGA effects would be hard pressed to match.

Lordy! I'm barely old enough to have _watched_ Gunsmoke in reruns, and
I'm going gray!

I didn't hear the originals, but I've heard enough now that I've hit
some repeats. I have a pillow speaker and listen at night while I'm
in bed. When I wake at 4, 5 or 6 I push the preset button for "Imus in
the morning". When I get up I power up my FM transmitter and listen to
Imus around the house on my FM radio.
I suspect I'll be getting a portable internet radio before long.

I have warned those interested in AM DXing and building high end
antenna systems, "don't get an internet radio" it will receive all the
stations you want at anytime with no fading. I lost my interest in
putting another antenna system at my home.

If you are interested in high end AM antenna systems, check out Dallas
Lankfords work. The Dallas Files;

He hasn't put a lot new on the site lately, but his site has a lot to
digest. The last was some hardware to help measure high intercepts in RF
amplifiers.
You need to ask permission to join. It is worth it.

The pictures are so much better on radio...

I like WSM in Nashville. It's on 650 AM. There is an over
modulated, poorly run swing & big band radio station on 640 AM ten miles
from me. It is in a straight line, so it can't be nulled out.
I don't have an answer to that problem, I've always wondered about a
one frequency radio with a crystal ladder filter to pass the wanted
freq, and maybe another to short the unwanted to ground.

I once had a customer standing near me, and in an angry women's voice
I heard,
"Where you at?"......."WHERE YOU AT? It turned out to be his ring tone.

I was pissed off just cause I had to listen to a women with that tone in
her voice, and it wasn't even my phone.

I'm debating even if it's (Sirius) worth it in the car. All I listen
to is Fox News >:-}


...Jim Thompson

Fox news should be so lucky. I prefer to listen to my music, i have only
about 10,000 tracks. Repeats tend to be weeks apart. So unlike OTA
broadcast stations. Maybe Web Stations do better.

My ringtone on my phone is Kirk yelling out at Khan in from Star Trek
II: The Wrath of Khan. I remember when I first put it on and it rang at
work. Everyone was "What the hell is that?" I had to explain it to some.

Crybaby.

I was going "salt and pepper" gray at 18.

I am effectively white haired now.

I watched Gunsmoke more in reruns than original.

Would hardly have mattered. I remember Jan Murray and Soupy Sales on
radio. I was pretty young then though.

I think you may misunderstand the differences between the (vanishing) DX
type and the person who just wants this, that, or the other program
material.

Real DX'ers are all about that fabulous catch. I have two of my own;
early on about 1968 or so, in San Jose, CA I caught repeatedly for about a
week an Arizona FM station (about 500 miles). I figure it was a freak
E-layer enhanced tropo-layer bending shot. So not repeatable.

The other was getting KKHI AM from San Fran in Bremerton WA in the dead of
winter, i had to drive west a bit for best reception, but getting a little
bit of "home" was a huge attraction.

Call me an one time opportunistic DXer, still both are fabulous catches.
 
Yep.  And "[email protected]" is just trying to be obnoxious to hide his
ignorance.

I am doing no such thing. Art Bell got me through many a late night
shift, and the Nearly Famous Barry Young through many a bleary
morning.

Besides, I thought you had white-listed me...
