| MARCH 2001 AFTER LETTING THE OLD WAVEMACH SIT IN A BOX FOR SIX MONTHS, I GOT A BUG UP MY ASS,THREW UP THE COMET VERTICAL AND BANG!! ON THE AIR AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME, RADIO STATION X CHANGED TO WHINAH RADIO 91.1 FM. WITH THE OLD WAVEMACH PUMPING OUT A HEART STOPPING 10 WATTS IN WONDERFUL MONOPHONIC SOUND, I BLASTED OUT SOME TUNES TO OUR LISTENING AUDIANCE THAT CONSISTED OF...FRANK..RODNEY..AL...GLENN AND HIS LOVELY WIFE AND MY STEPSON JOEY LIGHTNING. I RAISED HELL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND PARKED IT ONCE AGAIN .INTILL YESTERDAY.......... FOR NO REAL REASON, I PUT WHINAH RADIO BACK ON THE GRID ON APRIL 25TH 2003 WITH A COUPLE OF CHANGES... I MOVED THE FREQUENCY DOWN TO 90.7, SHARING THE FREQUENCY WITH "WCLH" THE CAMPUS STATION OUT OF SCRANTON, AND THIS TIME,I HAD A ACCURATE VHF SWR BRIDGE TO TRIM THE ANTENNA MATCH DOWN TO 1.1 SO WERE BACK PIRATING THE AIRWAVES THOUGH OUR LISTENING AUDIANCE HAS SHRUNK CONSIDERABLY, BILLY BANDIT BEING THE ONLY LISTENER ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK MAYBE IT WILL GROW??? WHO KNOWS.... ON THE BOTTOM IS THE SSM-1750 MIXING BOARD I BOUGHT FROM SOME PIMPLE FACED KID AT THE RADIO SHACK, I SNAGED IT AT A BLOWOUT PRICE OF $150.00 AND IT WORKS GREAT!!!! |

| RAT SHACK SSM-1750 MIXER BOARD |
| RANGE IS ABOUT 8-12 MILES WITH THE OLD WAVEMACH PUMPED IN TO A 5/8 WAVE COMET BROADCAST VERTICAL FED WITH A HALFWAY DECENT RG/8 FEED LINE AND THE ANTENNA IS A "HELL" OF A LOT LOWER THEN THE LAST TIME I STUCK IT UP. BEING ABLE TO USE A GOOD SWR BRIDGE REALLY WAS WORTH THE TIME, AND I JUST TOUCHED BASE WITH DAVE AT WAVEMACH ABOUT A STEREO BOARD FOR TRANSMITTER. COMET CFM-95-SL VERTICAL I BOUGHT THIS ANTENNA FROM PIRATE RADIO LEGEND LESLIE"DOUG" BREWER OF THE FAMOUS L.D BREWER COMPANY. I HAVED TALKED TO DOUG ON THE PHONE QUITE A FEW TIMES AND HE"S A REGULAR GUY IM SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS THE SHIT THIS POOR BASTARD HAS BEEN THRU BUT WHAT BOTHERED ME MORE THEN ANYTHING WAS THE ABSOLUTE JOY THAT SWEEPED THRU THE AMATUER RADIO WORLD WHEN DOUG LOST HIS AMATUER RADIO PRIVLEGES, LIKE A BUNCH OF GIGGLING SCHOOL GIRLS IT MADE ME ASHAMED TO BE A HAM......... THE COMET WORKS GREAT I CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE PRICEY,BUT IF YOU WANT A PLUG AND PLAY ANTENNA SYSTEM THAT WORKS GREAT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX,THIS IS FOR YOU OTHER PAGES BEING A NEW JERSEY PIRATE ON FALCON RADIO 88.5 FM FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT DOES "WHINAH" MEAN? WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU PLAY? YOUR MIXER LOOKS LIKE SHIT,ARE YOU GOING TO CLEAN IT? ARE THERE ANY OTHER PIRATES IN THE POCONO'S? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR WAVEMACH? |
