Were Do I Sign
Very reasonable list from RFB and I offer my John Hancock, just show where to sign.
Here’s # 18. Follow your actual job description, uphold The Constitution and serve your constituents.
(sort of a repeat of #8)
Darkest Hour
“Revoke the NDAA act which turned this nation into a battlefield.”
FWIW, I entirely agree, it’s a nightmare, and I’ll give it voice if not teeth here on FHTR. Any such act is totally unconstitutional, illegal, and if you don’t mind my saying so, downright evil. We’re better than that, aren’t we? Or is it what we should expect from a now-Godless nation?
Not God
If you look at the type of people who are using their power to covert America into a prison camp, they are all proclaimed Christians who say that God told them to run for office.
I don’t think God or godlessness is the problem, the problem is human beings with way too much power and wealth, who want the rest of us out of the way.
God gave humans their “free will,” and that means that God has a “hands off” policy.
Difficult to grasp, but we need to solve our own problem.
Wolves In Politician Clothing
“If you look at the type of people who are using their power to covert America into a prison camp, they are all proclaimed Christians who say that God told them to run for office.”
This is SOOOO TURE!
One thing people really need to grasp is that God does not tell these fakes what to do. God has NOTING to do with this country, or any other. God does not set man’s policy…man does.
See here is where I think the problem really is. For too long the population of this country has believed that God, for some odd reason, picked these specific people the day they were born. Now if this is true, and God does not discriminate towards ANY of his creations, then why are all these “selected” individuals all filthy rich going to the fancy schools and colleges and continue to get richer after they get selected into office? Doesn’t God teach sharing and caring? What are these fakes doing right now..are they sharing their wealth with the homeless..the hungry..the sick..the dying…while tipping it up making deals behind everyone’s back..and that ain’t no holy water in that wine cup of theirs!
Bottom line, God has nothing to do with this or any other country’s leadership and representatives, nor do any of these fakes truly follow God’s word. You do not find a true faithful dancing around in the nude in front of a tall wood Owl statue out in the middle of the boonies in summer time at California’s Bohemian Grove every year.
Now maybe Lucifer’s like might.
Think real hard about all that and that last comment, and who..or what…really rules the world..then take a look around at everything going on…and read the guideline as it all plays out per the script.

Rise Or Missing
Well I know sometimes my posts may seem harsh but I didn’t mean to run everyone off!
Maybe the predicted end is the end of the nonsense and beginning of a new way.
Think positive.

Running away
Happens to me all the time. And my posts aren’t even close to being harsh! At least, I don’t think they are…)
Political Power and Old MIcrophones
I try not to talk about my disability on here –
you guys have always been really nice about
it though. The following may be beneficial.
POWER As a person with a significant vision
disability that I have always had to struggle
with – I have had the following problem: While I have
struggled over and over to get things done
in my life, other people have zoomed by me –
like a Porshe going 90 miles an hour past
a guy trying to ride a broken bicycle. Very
often I have felt powerless to change things-
BUT that is not true. I have done some good
things in my life, and that is what I try to hang
on to. I REALLY HAVE been on a broken bicycle
while tons of cars, including luxury ones, have
gone by me on a road. So that really did happen –
BUT I have always pretty much gotten where I
needed to go. Eventually, anyway.
I don’t think our government can do much
for us. (If anything.) We just have to do the best we can
ourselves. There is a point where you have to
try to let the bad feelings go away as best as you
can and go forward – even if it is just one little
step at a time. At least we are not living in the
time of – say, a thousand years ago. We are
alive in an incredibly interesting time. We have
seen a lot of amazing things happen. It’s much better
than living in a village somewhere in the 1400s, where
you just stay in one little place and try to stay alive.
As long as you can keep moving forward in a positive
way – that is good. Sometimes it is hard to do, but one
should keep trying to do it.
So that sums up my feelings about political power and
power in general. In your life, you have to just keep
trying. Don’t give up.
SOMETIMES IT”S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT HELP.
In the junk box the other day – I found a vintage
communications mike. It is an Astatic D-104.
which doesn’t work. This is a very famous microphone.
For those of you who have never seen one – all you
have to do it Google it. But it really looks like a
silver lollipop.
Although it was a ham radio or CB mike in
it’s previous life, I thought it would be cool to have
it in the Dog Radio Studio. Why? I don’t know.
Most broadcast radio studio mikes are on booms,
so they cannot be bumped. This thing just
sits on it’s own base. But my set-up is sort of a
museum with a sense of humor.
So I took apart another old mike I had. (Torn it
apart is more like it.)
The element I got out sounded good on it’s own.
It is Hi Fi – not a communications element that
only does 300 – 3000 hz.
The working element is very fragile. It also is too large
for the D-104 case. The back of the D-104 will
have to be extended out backwards so this element
can fit into the enclosure. Also the wires broke off
of the element. So wires will have to be soldered
back on.
If I can make this work (and the jury is really still out
on this) – I plan to put a sign on the top, just like in
the old time radio stations. It will maybe say, 1690,
or DOG RADIO 2. or something like that. Maybe I’ll
figure out how to put the base on some shock absorbers.
I don’t know. I have no money to spend on this. It’s
just a fun thing to try.
Maybe it won’t work initially. But I have a bunch of mikes
sitting around.
My son thinks the D-104 is really cool looking. And he is
a jazz musician studying at Berklee College in Boston – so
he has seen lots of microphones.
MY PART !5 WISHES FOR 2012
I hope to finish some projects and maybe get an AM
signal back on the air. At this point I don’t know whether
it will be a 3 meter stick and 100 mW, or if it will be
carrier current. We might have to move, so that may
make an AM installation complicated. We’ll see.
SO… For those of you that are still reading this:
Thank you
And Best Wishes From
Bruce
DOGRADIO STUDIO 2
Welcome to 2012
Hello Bruce, I was wondering where you were and what you were doing.
Talking about feeling LOW,
Followed by talking about POWER,
Is your sub-conscious mind saying LOW POWER.
And humor? Let’s face it, you named a studio after a dead dog. Is that sad, or funny, or both?
The microphone idea is attractive to imagine. Please build it and then get a picture for us to see.
Now let’s speed past Bruce MICRO 1700 in our Porsche. It makes him crazy.
Now down to business: I’m starting to order parts for Deep Voice, the Long Wave transmitter project which you inspired.
Keep coming back for more.
Carl – I Love Your Humor!
Good luck with the Deep Voice transmitter!
I’m still working on the “BIG TALKER!”
It’s funny – I just went on E-Bay and there
are about 20 or 30 Astatic D-104 mikes that
people are selling. Some guys are even selling
replacement mike elements for the D-104.
No money available for that right now – but maybe
sometime.
Anyhow, thanks for the humorous feedback. You and
the rest of this group are really great people!
All the best!
Bruce, DOGRADIO STUDIO 2
P.S. I did name my radio station after a dead
dog. It was very sad at the time – but it seems
pretty funny now!
Regarding D-104
Bruce, Please check your email and contact me ASAP.
Vintage Props
“I just went on E-Bay and there
are about 20 or 30 Astatic D-104 mikes that

Your story reminded me of my time at KMID TV in Midland Tx. In the front lobby were vintage television cameras, an Ampex ATR 1200, and even a portable 2 inch deck…at least they called it portable back then!
One of the cameras was a very old RCA from the mid 50’s. It even had the rotating lens apparatus on the front with the 3 focal length lens assemblies. From what I remember, the camera itself still worked but one of the support gear, I think it was the gamma and color balance deck was shot since it was filled with tuned circuits and all those inductors and caps had drifted so far out of tolerance.
But seeing all that vintage stuff on display sort of gave you the feeling of stepping back in time, especially with the back drop pictures on the wall behind the gear giving the scene a sort of active studio look.
Putting such things in your studio would give visitors an idea of the timeline and equipment changes over the decades, and be for long conversations about the industry and what was used and how things were done back in the day before computers and digital hish hash flip flop nand nor or.

Jumping back to RFB’s earlier
Jumping back to RFB’s earlier post:
..Bottom line, God has nothing to do with this or any other country’s leadership and representatives..
Now maybe Lucifer’s like might.
Not trying to steer any discussion towards the spiritual, but since you bring it up, I just want to mention that it’s clearly stated in the Bible that Lucifer rules this world, I searched out a couple quotes referencing this:
Jesus said: “The ruler of this world will be cast out.” And he added: “The ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me.”—John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11.
“The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” -1 John 5:19
“The one called Devil and Satan … is misleading the entire inhabited earth.”— Revelation 12:9.
“..the god of this system of things has blinded the minds..” -2 Corinthians 4:4
There’s plenty more.
Like I said, I’m not trying to get on a religious rant.. to be honest, I think “religion” is a twisted crock of crap… But I do believe in the spiritual and that the bible does provide an accurate and genuine expression of truth. I always have believed that.
Good Quotes
Dear Rich Powers:
Those Bible quotes certainly match the world that’s being strip-mined by rich liars and their non-thinking police forces.
They call themselves Christians but they are building a scale-model of hell.
If it weren’t for part 15 radio the world would have no hope.
