I just tried the link a couple more times, it plays fine for me.

Well, I gave it a shot. No background music, just had some fun with it.  http://vocaroo.com/i/s0DguWMgOYZ3

Hi Art! )

All I was talking with Art last night and he is kinda in the dog house. He and his wife got into a big disagreement. Art told me the story and it went something like this:

R: You bought another stupid ham raido, how much was it? 

A: Lets just say, I cashed my cheque at the ham radio out let this month.

R: You know I have been borrowing money from my mom, my sister, just to keep from losing our house and for food and school supplies for Asia. What were you thinking you inconsiderate jerk? 

A: All the other guys on the 80 meter morning net and 40 meter noon time net are always talking about the new gear they bought. Today, I went to the ham radio outlet to buy some PL259 connectors and saw the Kenwood I have been looking at in the catalog was on sale, now I have an HF rig big enough to drive my amp to full legal limit.

R: So instead of depositing your cheque into the bank so we could cover those hot cheques we wrote for the car payment, mortgage and utility bill you bought a new ham radio? You idiot.

A: But now I can finally get on 6 meters and check into the alpha marry net on 160 meters, after I make a couple of antenna modifications.

R: Is that what all the new wire in the garage is for…. More antennas. The city council has already sent us a notice about the antennas you put up around the back yard strung up between the towers. 

A: Well you saw that, well my GRV will not work on 160 meters, so I am having some of the guys from the Ham Radio club to build me a wire dipole.

R: How can you be so stupid?

A: But when there is a big emergency and all the communications goes down, I will still have my ham radio to keep in touch with people, I am in charge of our clubs red cross coordination team.

R: The Red Cross has their own radios and don’t need you and all your geek buddies in the club, none of you has ever saved a single life. If there was an emergency all of your ham radio buddies would be the first ones to run to the hills like a bunch of weenies.

A: We train all the time. We all bought matching wind breakers and ironed patches all over them so we look like officials and everything.

R: And you wonder why I don’t let you sleep in the same room as me anymore.

A: I actual prefer to sleep on the couch now, because I have my radios next to me and I can monitor the club repeater in case someone calls for me.

R: Mounting a dual band antenna and drilling a hole in the roof of car was not enough, you had to get a new HT, but even that was not enough, you had to install a dual band radio in the living room. Our house is already full of radios. All you do is sit in front of the computer and talk on the ham radio.  You don’t even shower regularly anymore. 

A: But every radio serves a certain purpose. I can talk all over the world on my dual bander, be ready with SSB ,CW and digital on the new HF rig and send dx spots over the dx cluster to the packet node while scanning the beacon band for openings. 

R: I wish you were half as excited about your family as you are about you stupid ham radios.

A: What do you mean my family comes first, that is why I am so involved in Ham radio, it’s for the whole family.

R: You are delusional.

A: I told you already, all you have to do is study, pass the test and get your technician ticket and I’ll start to love you again.

R: I hope you and your buddies drop your antenna across a power line this weekend. 

A: That’s why I installed a lightening surge protectors on the cables coming into the shack…just in case.

R:This can’t be happening I give up.

A: Good, so what’s for dinner I am starving.

R: Why don’t you see if one of your precious ham radios can feed you?

A: Ok no problem, I’ll just get on the 2 meter club repeater autopatch and order a pizza.

R: With what money, our credit cards are maxed out and our cheque book is overdrawn?

A: I added some surplus equipment to the QRS swap listing while rag chewing on the 2 meter repeater. I will go on line and see if any of it was sold. 

R: If you are smart you will sell it all and get to that meeting with Bobo and get back on the normal radio.

Hi Art!

So I wasn't confused, what I heard was authentically absurd.

Yes it was.

I'm hearing lots of laughter, I must have missed something funny.

North Korea just announced they detonated a nuclear device. Funny, right?

Heather said she worked for a Government contractor. I wonder who? Maybe, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon? 

Quote from: brig on September 08, 2016, 10:15:35 PM
Darn, I missed it...

Hi brig. You didn't miss much. Just a fake voicemail about the start of WW3.

Now we're listening to that fake World War 3 message.  :

We're listening to a jar of mosquitos?  :

Why does she sound so hyped? Is she on something?

i see she will discuss something way over her head tonight

Really? Doesn't she have a degree in rocket science? 

Quote from: brig on September 08, 2016, 07:58:15 PM
Indeed!

It's a long fall from revered bellgabber, to wicked witch of the West.

Reminds me of that old saying:

"Be careful what you witch for, it may come true".

She should repent! No good can come from being one of Satan's handmaidens.

I did.  I try to stay awake, but MITD starts at midnight here. 

It starts at midnight where I'am too. Though, last night's show would've put you to sleep.

Hi Art! 

Seems like everyone has fallen asleep; can't blame you. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 

Heather with the type of weapons available today, if there was really a world war happening; we'd know it.  :

I believe the last caller was delusional. He said Heather has more insight than Art. 

Quote from: PaulAtreides on September 07, 2016, 06:58:33 PM
Hey there Art.  I still have a Sirius table radio and a CCrane internet radio for sale.  Both are almost new in box.  Cheap.  Let me know if you're interested.

At first glance; this seems funny, but on closer inspection, this is just sad. Imagine how many people are in this predicament. Then you"ll realize why there was/is so much disillusionment, anger, disgust still felt towards Art, MITD, etc. What's done is done, but Art just walking away from things he starts, doesn't mean the fallout doesn't exist.

Looks like Hoagland and MITD have the same number of affiliates: 1. What would a Somalian radio station set you back these days?

About as much as African likes, I suppose.

I AM BACK
I CAN\T TELL YOU HOW MANY PERSONEL NOTES I RECIEVED FOR ALL THE BELL GABBERS
I WON'T LET YOU DOWN

I TALKED WITH ART AND HE IS STILL WEEK, BUT GETING BETTER.

I WILL DO SOME PRELIMINARY WORK ON THE MEETING , BUT WILL HAVE TO WAIT TIL HE CAN HANDLE A MEETING WITH ALL HIS CLOSE PERSONEL FREINDS LIKE ME AS WELL AS THE ORDINARY PEOPLE I INVITE ALONG TO THE MEETING...IN ORDER TO GIVE ART THE IDEA THAT AVERAGE  NON IMPORTANT PEOPLE WANT HIM BACK ON THE AIR TOO.

THANKS AGAIN
BOBO

Looks like an alligator using a cane to stand up.

Deerman would be kind of cool to see, just as long as they weren't packing heat. They'd be popping rounds off at us.   


Damn, the poor girl is probably on Wifi like I am & suffering connection drops.

Maybe she owes the phone company money.

Neon wolf men ?
That's a new one.
Cool.

I must admit, I've never heard of Sheepman, or Deerman before tonight.  :

Off to bed.  Goodnight everyone and have an awesome tomorrow.

Goodnight Starr.
