Not really. I don't have time to research every wacky claim made
here. Besides, that quote doesn't exactly support the above claim.

Well, you are certainly wacky if you can't read and understand what is being said.

Feel free though to try and support whatever 'wacky' claim YOU wish to make.

Yes, they have. Don't have a link at hand, but they have indeed
indicated in the
past that they are more interested perhaps in reaching the elites
who have a
hand in shaping policy, etc.

You'd have to go back and research the shortwave literature.

There's a reference in the 2003 Passport, page 81. The
current head of the BBC sniffs at the idea of wanting
to be heard by Detroit automobile workers.

That's what I was referring to.

$68 wholesale. There is a foundation.

AM radio and analog TV aren't relevant.

This would be why 6 of the top 10 billing stations in the USA are AM? 17 of
the top 40 stations? Including the second and 4th highest billers in the US?

Just an aside: Which are the six top-billing AM stations in the U.S. and
how are they spread throughout the top 10? I'd guess that WGN is one of the
six, but not having any data at hand, I can't make a really good guess on
the other five.

Thanks

Where is the BBC World Service FM relay in San Francisco? The only FM
presence I am aware of in the area is KQED FM, and that's just one
hour or so of news per day, isn't it?

Hey Running Dog,

You seem to have the font for your newsposts set very, very tiny. It's
very hard to read. It could a problem on my end, but I don't think so.
Everyone else's posts come over with type twice or more the size of
yours.

You might want to look into your settings.

I think it's got something to do with newsreader incompatibility. My
newsreader doesn't have a font setting that I can see (but I'll look) so
what looks normal to me may look bad to you. The type looks fine on this
end. I will admit that when I try to print an article the font is very
small but I thought that was just an issue with my printer. What
newsreader are you using? I'm using some obscure reader that was the
only one on Tucows that had online reading at the time I got this
computer (2002).

From what I've heard, KALW, the SF school district station, broadcasts
Newshour at 2pm. I've never actually heard it here, but I read that in
the Chronicle in an article making fun of the BBC's style.

I found the "Font" drop down menu and changed the font to 15. That
should be better on your eyes, although it makes the spacing of my
replies look funny.

One of these days, Rickets will realize that it is *his* opinions and view-
points that are not relevant. The subsequent implosion of his ego should
register on every functioning seismograph on the face of the Earth.

It should be good for a chuckle or two...

Can this sort of thing be predicted, so that I'm not in LA when it
happens? I mean, the implosion of an ego that size could wipe out dozens
of square miles. It could create a massive tsunami, create new earth
formations. Now imagine what would happen if EVERY inflated ego in LA
imploded. Not a pretty picture.
