I find station promotion to be one of my biggest challenges, if not the biggest.  I broadcast in a high-density area, where there are some businesses such as small restaurants….but other than places like the local Micky D’s, not too much (although I suppose I could do stuff through the small bodega type store down the street).  It’s tough to g…[Read more]

TheLegacy offers:  “We take requests from the people within range and from the internet as well.”

I also take music requests, and publicize a phone number for comments/reception reports/song requests.  That number is 203-545-5393.  🙂

My station, Radio Free Connecticut, airs music most of the time….I play a wide variety of stuff.  This includes 80s/90s rock and pop, classic hip hop, R&B from the 80s to about 2000, and the occasional country song and/or new music.  You really never know what I will play next….that’s what makes the station interesting, IMHO.

Apart from the u…[Read more]

Doing a “Mid Week Slow Jams” show tonight, as we speak.  Right now, as of 7:36 PM eastern on 10/10/2018, “You Can’t Change That” by Raydio is playing.  Sound quality/reception seems to be pretty good tonight.  🙂

Mixed up a new frequency change announcement….if you haven’t heard, Radio Free Connecticut will now be broadcasting on 1540 AM, instead of 1650 AM.

Here’s my announcement, inspired by the old phone company tones.  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1l8e4XayPkS3Qma1o76FgfDNvLaKd4aq-

Oh, BTW, I plan to do a broadcast after I get home f…[Read more]

Here’s an update from the files of Radio Free Connecticut.

Unfortunately, I have found that my station on 1650 khz interferes with the local TIS station, which broadcasts ten watts on 1670 khz.  The station in question can usually be reliably received at my broadcast location.  However, when I’m on the air, this is not so.  As such, I have fo…[Read more]

Got the music crankin’ again! Right now, at 8:17 PM eastern on 8/16/2018, it’s Blessid Union of Souls with “Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me)” on Radio Free Connecticut! 🙂

Aretha left an incredible impact on America, its music, and the world in general.  May the “Queen of Soul” rest in peace.  🙁

Right now, at 10:32 AM on 8/10/2018, you’re hearing the Gin Blossoms with “Til I Hear It From You” on Radio Free Connecticut! 🙂

BTW, that’s why I shake my head at some of these suspects on cop shows.  “You have the right to remain silent”….USE IT!! SMH.

I’m of the opinion that I don’t need to notify the FCC about my part 15 station.  After all, I’m doing something that is specifically permitted by law.  Even if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t say much about it….a good general rule to use around police and other authorities is KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

Police will pose as if they were your friends….but t…[Read more]

Sadly, that doesn’t surprise me.  The FCC’s attitude is usually “we can do whatever we want to do”.  🙁

At 10:52 PM on 7/6/2018, it’s Radio Free Connecticut’s “Friday Night Dance Party”.  Currently playing “Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent” by Gwen Guthrie.  🙂
