  1. To those who still wonder where #WWCR is, all you people on #HFUnderground, you can still find it online. #NowPlaying is the usual Saturday program, #TheTalkingMachineShow
  2. #Radio #FCC #Part15 #HFUnderground
    HF Underground's Fediverse bot just posted a link to a new thread about proposing a Part 15 arrangement for community radio, something about 1 watt. Of course I wanted more information--clicked on the link, found the thread was started by ThaDood, who also had a signature line worth repeating. I quote as follows:
    """""""""""""""""""
    “I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
    is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
    meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
    exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
    -Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

    Regarding my previous comments about HF Underground's bot, fanbot, being stuck in the 49 meter band then suggesting that the 25 meter band should have something on it, well, for those of you who are just discovering this medium, RN da Amazonia should provide good music listening right about now (1630 UTC, 7:30pm Central). Prior to this specified time I heard them play the classic Sergio Mendes "Mas Que Nada".

    Reception conditions change over the course of the day, subject to daylight/darkness patterns, but if you're looking for a good place to start, here ya go. Shortwave radio is a great place to find pirates, such as what Radio Free Trumpistan might be someday.
