Choose another escort besides Dogie and you won't give such an
impression.

A sad but true reality in this modern age of broadcasting. The "mom
and pop" radio stations can no longer compete in the big money
corporate arena.

There was a time when I was seriously considering a career in
broadcasting. I was tossing a coin over whether I wanted to be a
broadcast engineer or radio personality. But when the rules changed
and radio stations started getting bought out by bottom-line oriented
corporations which stick to canned format formulas, and discourage
individualism, I lost my taste for the talent side of the business.
When I found out what a typical engineer was making, that soured me as
well. Only those at the top stations in major market areas, make any
real money.

It's a shame. I grew up listening to some real radio talent (Who
didn't have to mention bodily functions every few minutes to get a
laugh). I really liked the Drake/Chenault "Boss Radio" format which
started at KHJ in Los Angeles and migrated to my area at some really
great stations like WFIL in Phila, and WABC in New York.

It really was a "dream job" for alot of us then.....

Relive some of that time:

My favorite was CBS Radio Mystery Theatre hosted by E. G. Marshall.
When that was canceled it was the beginning of the end of radio, IMHO.

Right on! Some serious country up there....you gonna set up a small
operation or just take pan in hand? Heck, plan it right, take the entire
summer....what a job!

If I go it will be for the duration -- which is about three months. I
figure it will take a month to locate some good sites with geochemical
analysis, another month to map the sites with a magnetometer, then dig
until the freeze sets in for winter. I've done the trip a couple times
several years ago, with less-than-profitable results. I've discovered
a few new tricks since then, but I've also added a little more cargo
to the old ruck-sack.....
