Did you listen to Gunsmoke on Radio?

Steve Allen started his career at that station in the 1940s.

Yep. And " snipped-for-privacy@bid.nes" is just trying to be obnoxious to hide his ignorance. ...Jim Thompson

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. Mikek

Travel,

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.

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.

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...

My ring tone for my wife is The Wicked Witch's theme from The Wizard of Oz. I don't have to explain it. ;-)

I listen to music at home... I have a 300 CD "jukebox" ;-)

We don't drive a lot.... 65K on the 2005 Q45, 33K on the 2001 Pick-em-up truck. ...Jim Thompson

Poxy hell, Overmodulation DOES NOT extend range nearly as much as it annoys listeners, particularly for that genera of music (Way too much dynamics in the original, any attentive listener would notice). Poorly run is a gross understatement.

It's a geezer station, staffed by volunteers at a retirement community. The only call the contract engineer when they can't get on the air, at all.
