Good summary of all that has been on his facebook posts and that gab site and others. I suspect some regular radio stations will pick up his feed but we may see them add commercial breaks so miss a little here and there. The shortwave station booms into here at my CO plains location about 40-miles s...

My ICOM IC-T90A HT copies the station OK on its whip and with a hunk of wire stuck in the antenna socket it is darn strong. The VX5R does the same. With that power I think a crystal diode across a tuned circuit to the frequency will work. I'll still use the stream and save up for the podcast but the...

Been rain for 9-days and over night got 8-inches of snow so all garden work is on hold. I did get out Saturday in the rain and got covers over what has come up so I think they will make it. We are 28 now up from 23 over night and it is to get about that low again tonight. I'll let the snow on just f...

Apparently there is a 100KW SW station that wants to carry Art's stream. Art just posted this: Art Bell Hey guys here is a kick for you, remember I told you a 100,000 watt station wanted to carry the show? Well I called them tonight and said I can't hear it on 5.085. Well they said wait a moment and...

hey Art when you have a fight with a friend - you don't have to go bitch about them all over the internet, and badmouth them and make it look like it is all their problem. Signed, A Friend. A very good point there Fan and one that will now live on forever in our minds and any who research who was A...

I had your optimism also Fan and see this as the final play of Art. He may come back for a couple months then the old back gets to him and at his advanced years one gets cranky fast when the back hurts. Can't stand or sit long and depending on the problem, moving is also a pain. If he comes back and...

This was always playing in the back of my mind. He is just a few months older than me and the stress of trying to build up again to what he had is too much for both he and Keith. The amount of equipment he ordered is mind boggling for a stream and podcast considering that if he doesn't want to use a...

If he has a laptop and a mic he has pretty much all he needs. A workstation too I guess if he wants to do skype call-ins. He wants to deliver more like we remember him doing it including music and of course call in from around the world plus handle the commercials in house like he did back when he ...

A lot of what you saw is his ham radio equipment. The studio equipment he had, and still does, is older analog including tape cartridge players. Remember the time he glued his lips together. :eek: Times have changed since the 90's and early 2K's. The Sirius stuff they provided then took back. So bot...

I agree there and that is what I think he fears the most. If too much free gets out it cuts into the revenue needed to pay the fees for the podcast plus the music fees. He is hell bent on having "his music" and to do that he must pay fees that when he was connected with a big broadcaster t...

You got a point there Dude although from what I see from relays from his facebook posts and over on Bell Gab where he checks in he seems pretty confident it will happen. Says he is spending $20K for the studio equipment so at least he may be on but for how long is the question. Internet podcast is n...

I use to take the podcasts and replay them on the FM transmitter so I could listen on a radio when out working around the ranch, in the garden and so on. Used headphones on the old Walkman when on the tractor. Made acres of field mowing a joy and out in the wide open always watching the sky for that...

And that is my intention. At $5 a month it is a good price as his shows always had some good content no matter what. I use to do that back when he had the pay subscription, download his shows and then play them while on the road. Made those miles and miles go by pretty fast and I always heard someth...
