ARCANE RADIO TRIVIA: Johnny Got His Gun - Radio Drama
http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/2015/08/johnny-got-his-gun-radio-drama.html
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. Monday, August 10, 2015. Johnny Got His Gun - Radio Drama. I have come to the periphery of this story many times before without actually discovering it. In 1988 Metallica released the song "One." The single was hugely successful though even the radio edit was 5 minutes long. The live version is almost ten. The music video was interspersed with clips and dialog from a 1971 film I had never seen titled Johnny Got His Gun. Posted by Jose Fritz.

It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. DJ Marathon Stay-Awake Records. Peter Tripp conducted what was probably the most famous DJ "wakeathon" back in 1959. I wrote a post describing the incident in 2009 here. This is considered torture. At least it raised money to fight polio. 1957 Dave Clarke - KVI-AM. 104 hours, 3 minutes. 1958 Loren Valentine - KAKE-AM. 1958 Mort Crowley - KWK-AM. 54 hours, 14 minutes (sometimes cited as KEK-AM). 1959 Stan Major - WIRL-AM. 1959 Red Evans - WTAL-AM.

ARCANE RADIO TRIVIA: A List of Telegraphic Codes
http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/p/a-list-of-telegraphic-codes.html
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. A List of Telegraphic Codes. I am slowly compiling a list of telegraphic codes. It began with a post here. And has led to my acquisition of several more books which will lead inevitably to more research. Longer term I'd like to create a word-to phrase database correlating phrases to codebook(s). But with my current access to consumer grade OCR technology that seems like a pipe dream. Until then I'll keep acquiring and listing. Clauson-Thue A...

ARCANE RADIO TRIVIA: Talk Radio: Old, Male, Conservative and Dying
http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/2010/11/talk-radio-old-male-conservative-and.html
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Talk Radio: Old, Male, Conservative and Dying. Because of the effectiveness of search engines I got an anonymous comment on it only recently. Inexplicably the response was railing against the perceived left-wing tilt of NPR. As of September 2010 he has the number one most listened to talk program on the radio. [Source Here. Despite that his listenership is down. Rush Limbaughs audience peaked in 2003 at an impr...

ARCANE RADIO TRIVIA: The Very Pleasant Neighbor Discography
http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/p/very-pleasant-neighbor-discography.html
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. The Very Pleasant Neighbor Discography. Very Pleasant Neighbor began in 1988 and overtime it was rendered into an acronym: VPN. Due to the unfortunate invention of the internet and the subsequent invention of the search engine, this acronym became virtually unsearchable. An eclectic but brilliant indie rock band became lost in a slush of false positives.I wrote about them for Stranded in Stereo. 10-2-11 added abrasive paper 7". A common practic...

ARCANE RADIO TRIVIA: The History of the Wireless Pet Fence
http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-history-of-wireless-pet-fence.html
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. Friday, August 07, 2015. The History of the Wireless Pet Fence. The irony of a Wireless Dog fence is that it involves an installing all kinds of wires. Some brands call it an underground fence, radio fence or an invisible fence. Major brand names include Dogwatch, Havahart, Perimeter, Invisible, and others. But at it's core it's just a loop antenna receiving a signal at a very cluttered. There wasn't much in the way of prepackaged wireless-fenc...

http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/2015/08/wxna-kickstarter.html
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. Wednesday, August 05, 2015. I have been waiting for the return of Nashville Jumps since the untimely demise of WRVU. Radio land knew that Pete Wilson would rise again. In late 2014, the non-profit Friends and Family of WRVU was granted a permit to launch a 100-watt radio station. Now they have launched a kickstarter campaign to pull together the seed money. They have 35 days to accomplish their mission. Posted by Jose Fritz. An Index Of Acetates.

ARCANE RADIO TRIVIA: List of Radio Strikes
http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/p/list-of-radio-strikes.html
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. List of Radio Strikes. This began with a post here. The below image got me thinking. These days the only strike that shuts down a radio station is a lightning strike. So I began to research strikes at radio stations. There is no canonical source of this data so I have been updating this list as I discover pertinent events in other research. It will be ongoing. 2011 - AFTRA strike on record labels [ here. 2005 - CBC Radio Strike. All content her...

ARCANE RADIO TRIVIA: Driftnet Radio Buoys
http://tenwatts.blogspot.com/2015/05/driftnet-radio-buoys.html
It's the exceptions that make us what we are, not the rules. Monday, May 18, 2015. A radio buoy is not a piece of hardware that the average person needs to use. In other words, you probably can't buy one refurbished on Woot. They are a type of battery powered, radio beacon used extensively used by fishing boats operating on the open sea. Popular models are made by Kato Electronics, Taiyo, Sea Star and Newstar, and Ryokuseisha Co. More here. I'll just quote his explanation here:. Posted by Jose Fritz.
