I can use a 128 kB (yes 1 hundred and 28 kiloBaud) link to the internet for 24 hours a day continuous without having to login to any provider. Nevertheless I know that a lot of people do not have Internet access and I therefor only distribute the programme by 'normal' or snailmail. And yes, it's cheaper to distribute via Internet but it is not my intention to get rich :-) 73 from a sunny Texel island in the north of The Netherlands.

Did you catch the originators of this "stuff?" And do you have any exact frequencies and times. MIKE SPRAGUE SAYS: The one where I heard the offensive lecture is 3210 kHz -- The call-letter identification is WWCR. Tennessee is also given as a location although I can't recall whether this is for the studio, transmitter or both. Because my DX-375 uses a loopstick when tuned to this frequency, I am able to determine that the transmitter is somewhere along an almost directly east-west line from Pittsburgh. I have also heard these broadcasts on my FRG-7 at 2310 kHz but a don't know wheter this is an artifact of the receiver, a subharmonic, or another broadcast frequency. I suspect one of the first two because at 1000 UTC they typically announce that they are changing to a frequency near the 21 meter band. This might mean that they have only one transmitter. I will leave it to you to listen, if you are interested, and figure who might be behind it all. I have heard individual voices profess several different organized Christian religions but have heard no evidence that any particular organized religion stands behind the broadcasts. I am beginning to suspect that the speakers are trying gain credibility by throwing in words like Catholic, Methodist, and Baptist. SCOTT ALSO TYPED: Isn't technology wonderful? I remember when 1200 was fast and 2400 was "blistering".

I had one interfaced to my KIM-1 single board computer. When I was living in Columbus, Ohio, we used a KIM-1 to control an Icom 2 meter transceiver and thought we were in technology heaven. I remember the excitement of buying an FT-980 with a computer-controlled interface. I could scan the SW bands with my TRS-80 and log the receptions automatically. Those were the days of 110/300 baud barn-burners. :-) Fred. --- QM v1.00 * Origin: The Digital Cottage in New Orleans 504-897-6614 (1:396/65.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 140 SHORT WAVE Ref: EBQ00005 Date: 07/21/97 From: MARC LEWIS Time: 06:50am \/To: MATT SMITH (Read 0 times) Subj: Non-Government SW radio Hello Matt!
