Interesting using car stereos as audio source! That’s a first I think, that I’ve seen.

If not a copyright violation you could rebroadcast a program from the radio.

Yes, looks very nice.

Ya, I like her. A great singer. Never heard of her till now.

Good to see that kits are still available for those who like building it yourself.

The FM one you showed with the pictures I guess came with the board already assembled but did you rig the rest(RCA jacks, switch, antenna jack, etc yourself or did that come with the metal case as part of the kit?

Kind of restrictive if there are no empty places…[Read more]

“Hit and Run” by Girlschool

Pictures are fine.

Went to the item on ebay and was surprised that this seller ships anywhere in the world except China and Canada. Strange.

Looks great, what kind of range are you getting? Does it operate at the full 100 mW?

May be a good alternative for the now discontinued SStran kits.

Well, thanks Carl, but I don’t know about being the leader of the ALPB. I wouldn’t have any agenda or know how to conduct meetings. I don’t even know how to participate in them. A moderator, possible, but really I’m a contributor, I don’t make the rules. It’s not my forum.

I never knew you weren’t a member there any more.

Import the picture to your computer. My pictures will do.

Then select copy image and then come to this site and paste and the picture will be posted.

If it is in your pictures on the computer select the icon at the far right here which is insert image and select from the computer.

Two ways.

Wonder what will happen with  the ALPB forum now?

I really love those old radios.

It’s the good old days for me too. This is the one I grew up listening on.

Sad news, 67 is much too young as it’s just the beginning of retirement.

Life is just not fair.

Right now Tuesday evening Dec. 4/2018, on a talk show in Toronto the subject is this song and I just heard that most stations in Canada won’t have this on their playlist.

After nearly 70 years of playing it.

I never really thought any of this about “Baby it’s Cold Outside” till this came up here.

But the song does bring up the differences in the way men and women think about things.

When it comes to being alone with a man, or it’s getting late, the woman is always the one to have reservations about it a lot more. It’s a sin in a woman’s eyes.…[Read more]

I think the majority of the world doesn’t have snow at Christmas. How did Christmas get connected with snow anyway?
Why would you want snow at Christmas when your guests would have to try to drive home in it.

As for “Baby it’s Cold Outside” when you think about it, it’s about a guy trying to get a girl to stay when she wants to go…. against her…[Read more]

“music is whatever you interpret music to be.” as wisely stated.

Exactly.

But I do like that I started this discussion. At least there’s some activity here.

It was getting pretty dead for a while and at the ALPB there’s been no activity for a long time.

Wonder where Thelagacy is on this topic as I think him and I have the same thoughts about…[Read more]

Reply to Artisan,
In my earlier post in this thread I mentioned several “other” than rap songs that have bad messages and I won’t play on my station so I don’t just think it’s just rap. And there’s lots more than the ones I noted.

As for drug use it’s very prevalent with bands, singers, of rock and other genres and the list is endless but that…[Read more]

Carl, using my “open’ mind I read the Wikipedia article you referred to and whatever take you want to put on it, it is still about criminal life in bad parts of any city….things I don’t want to hear about or ever be around, and the “music” part of it is personal opinion and my opinion and what I compare it to, is, that it’s not music. As for…[Read more]

Very true.
