I paid about $57.00 for the Select-A-Tenna I ordered at the same time I
ordered the CCrane AM/FM/Weather/TV radio.The same model CCrane radio
Art Bell and George Noory tout so much on www.coasttocoastam.com
I tried that antenna according to the directions that came with it and
in more ways than you can shake a stick at.I am not lieing,that JUNK did
not show me anything worthwhile at all.The antenna did not help one
little bit.

I like this part - it's OK to steal C.C.'s database but spammers are
the lowest of the low.

It's a bit like John Geoghan, the Boston paedophile priest, who was
offed in prison by a "decent" murderer.

Not to defend spammers but stealing a database is a crime. Spammers
frequently commit crimes as part of their spamming and Virginia has a
spammer-specific criminal law but in most cases spamming is a civil
tort.

At some point, Williams gave Justice instructions on how to break into
Crane's database systems and retrieve the company's list of customers.
On Tuesday, Nov. 18, Williams and Justice exchanged a flurry of
e-mails. Most of them were during business hours, when Justice would
have been sitting at his computer in C. Crane's offices. Justice had
successfully obtained the list.

Williams: "****ing A dude! Now if we can just find some spammer with
cash!!!"

Justice: "No, never! I don't think I could actually stoop that low
besides, even though I just did something that my momma would have
told me not to, I still have morals!"

Williams: "No I was kidding. I wouldn't do that either but I'm pretty
excited about the list though it is dangerous."

Kingsland Hotel,6668 Delmar Blvd,I doubt
if that old hotel is there anymore,it was so run down even back then

You must not have been to St. Louis lately. Delmar is really
upscale/yuppiefied...

I know where they can find some spammers with lots of cash,those
Nigerian spammers.

The hotel was right there near University City and near Big Bend
Blvd,Big Bend Blvd runs South.(South is always best)There used to be a
gas station at the corner of Delmar and Big Bend.I joined the U.S.Army
on October 28,1962 and when I finished boot camp at Fort
Gordon,Georgia,I was in ARADCOM,U.S.Army Air Defense Command at Scott
Airforce Base,Illinois and at SL-60 (Nike Hercules Ajax Missile Base)
near Pacific,Missouri from January 1963 through October 1963.Back in
those days/years,that part of Delmar Blvd was in a run down
neighborhood.I used to have a girlfriend who lived in
Kirkwood,Missouri.I haven't been in the St.Louis area since October 1963
so I have no idea of what that neighborhood looks like nowdays.I do know
since then,many old buildings in St.Lous have been torn down and
replaced with new buildings.

I have horror stories of both of them


Dan Robinson told a story a while back that he sent his CRF-330K to them and
the charged him hundreds of $$$, didn't fix it in several attempts and
basically did a screw job. He had to send it to someone else

notice how they DON'T repair radios any more !


I had a CCrane charger and the bottom wires inside the case shorted and
almost burned the house down. I called them and I thought that since this
was the 3rd one that broke on me and I was warning them of a hazard they
would ask for it back and replace it.
basically, the only thing they did is offer to sell me a new one !!!!

I was not impressed !!!!!!!!!

I wonder if Bob Crane ever reads this news group.It would be good to get
him to comment.Art Bell has read this news group at least once
before,because he once said in this news group,Do tune in.Maybe Art Bell
could/would get in touch via email or telephone and ask Bob Crane to
read this Thread at rec.radio.shortwave news group about,Incident At
CCrane.Hey,Art Bell,you out there somewhere? Dont let the spooks and
hobgoblins out there in that desert gitcha!

C. Crane Co. has been exceptionally quiet about the high failure rate
of the digital frequency display of the CCRadio.

Until they acknowledge that and have a no-charge fix for such an
obvious problem, they will not get anymore business from me.

They are Sangeans, which are notorious for this fault. My 'Q' radio
also suffered from their disappearing display.

....nice restaurants, coffee shops, nice restaurants, fancy antique
stores, several sidewalk cafes , art galleries, and oh, did I mention
nice restaurants? Also Chuck Berry has an eatery with a small auditorium
where he performs once a month or so. (IIRC, he lives in Ladue).

Not quite the San Antonio River Walk, but still pretty nice...
