The biggest tragedy, I suppose, is that it won't reach Norman. (Actually, I'm on top of The Spy stuff, though I can see a different angle for something else in the offing.)

On a loosely related note, The Spy is returning to rimshooter 105.3 on Monday, November 23. Ferris O’Brien has purchased it from Citadel, or Last Bastion trust, or whatever. While I’m not a huge fan of Indie rock/alternative music, I am excited to see an FM station become locally owned and operated. 105.3 is a very difficult signal to work with, but I hope it sees some success.

At the moment, I'd settle for a translator in the middle of town, say, about 101.1 or 101.3. Unfortunately for me, the ubiquitous Calvary Chapel has an application in for 250 watts on 101.1. (Doc Searls, I think it was, pointed out earlier that in terms of lower-powered broadcast stations, religious groups have seriously outplayed commercial and secular-nonprofit operations.) Addendum: Yep. Searls said it.

KOCD is one of my favorite stations. If they came in better in the metro, I’d listen to them all the time.

I do have a couple of radios that will pick them up most of the day, though they fade out in the early to mid afternoon. Reception is improving now that winter is coming.

I wish 99.7 KZLS would put on a smooth jazz format, or even simulcast KOCD.

You heard “Rise?” On the Radio? That’s from like 1979 or 1980 or something like that! I have to admit I like Herb Alpert – But I like his 60′s whimsical stuff the best.

Steely Dan – Simply the best. Ever. Right up there with the Beatles and Miles Davis if you ask me.

I have an old Royal transistor running off of a nine volt battery. I use it when the power goes out since the other, larger radios run on a dozen D batteries at a time.
