of the American people.
I'm going to play a little bit of the song.
You are listening to the American People's Choir.
You are listening to the international debut of the worldwide Voice of Freedom Network.
Light, power of the hour.
Be the power of the time.
Light, power for the earthlings.
the sea.
The sea.
I'm Pooh.
And I'm William Cooper.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, and are visible with liberty and justice for all.
This is a recording of the National Anthem.
My eyes have seen the glory of the songings of the Lord.
He is laughing now, the field is red, the grapes are cracked and torn.
He has loosed the fable-lighting of His parasol-spit-scorn.
His truth is fascism.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
And all the world is earth-en-shredded, glory and praise to Him that owns the living.
His truth is fascism.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
In the beauty of the lily's flight forth on a constant stream,
With our glory it is forth-born that plants the earth new and green.
you As we try to make them holy, let us try to make them free.
Try to make them lonely, let us try to make them free.
What has lost is much begun.
Sorrow may go before you, love may go before you.
Sorrow may go before you, let go before you.
Love, love, love, love.
Love, love, love, love.
you Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the new Hour of the Time on the worldwide Voice of Freedom radio network.
Tonight is our first, very first, broadcast as a network and as the new Hour of the Time, and I want to welcome all of you who are listening to Our World.
And I want to let you all know right off the bat that we don't owe anybody anything.
We are not obligated to anyone for anything.
There is no one in this entire world who can tell us or will tell us what to say ever, or how to conduct our broadcasts on this network, or what time We can air our broadcasts on this network, or anything else.
We are totally, 100%, dedicated to the truth, through documentation, through sourcing.
And we will do everything in our power, on the hour of the time, and on the worldwide Freedom Radio Network, to ensure that the admonition of the Founding Fathers to us will be fulfilled.
And that is eternal vigilance.
We will be the ones who will root out all of the hidden truths to counteract the lies and the manipulations, the disinformation, the
misinformation, the rumors that are promulgated either intentionally or accidentally on all of the other
forms of media throughout the world and we will bring you the documented, the sourced,
the truth.
I already have three regular programs lined up for the new worldwide Freedom Radio Network.
One is Gary Bourgeois, who's going to be bringing you, and I don't know how many nights a week, or how long yet, but he's going to be bringing you a technically-oriented broadcast concerning radio and satellites.
And I'm going to try to talk him into doing it quite often because a lot of you with satellite dishes are going to be ordering your low power FM radio transmitter and you're going to be rebroadcasting as affiliates of this network all of the programming that we're going to provide for you absolutely free.
It's not going to cost you a penny.
We're also going to make it so that you can put in your own advertising and we're also going to demand that you advertise or not cut out certain specific advertising that we provide as a network.
One of the things that we need you to do immediately is to drop us a letter.
If you are already rebroadcasting the hour of the time I need a letter from you.
I need to know who you are, where you're at, what frequency you're broadcasting on, and the times that you are broadcasting.
I need to know your schedule.
I need to know your call letters, so that we can notify people in that area that the hour of the time is being broadcast.
Now, if you wish to be a network affiliate, and broadcast other programming that will be made available on the worldwide Freedom Radio Network.
You need to indicate that in your letter because you cannot be a network affiliate without permission from the network.
I've always given everybody in the world blanket permission to rebroadcast the hour of the time with no problems Just do it.
And many of you have been.
That still goes.
But I cannot give blanket permission for the network, or for everybody else who is going to be broadcasting on the network, unless you indicate that you want to be a network affiliate.
Because to be a network affiliate, you're going to have to follow some rules, and you're going to have to make some commitments to us.
And in return for that, we will make you a network affiliate.
We will provide you with network identification tapes so that every hour on the hour you can identify yourself as an affiliate of the Worldwide Freedom Radio Network.
And ladies and gentlemen, over a period of time, there's going to be a great distinction Connected with being affiliated with the Worldwide Freedom Radio Network.
It's going to be a great honor and honors will come to you as the people in your area begin to identify themselves with the thoughts and the ideas and the truth that's broadcast by the Worldwide Freedom Radio Network.
I know that many of you are sitting there wondering why this is called the World Wide Freedom Radio Network instead of the American Freedom Radio Network.
And I'm going to tell you why right now and I hope you're listening and I hope you're really paying attention.
Because you have to understand these basic principles and ideals or you're lost and you can never be free.
You see, freedom is not particular just to America.
All people in this whole world want to be free.
That's why so many people risk so much to come to America.
Do you realize that if they could be free in the land in which they originally were born, they would not be coming to America?
They would not be taking your jobs?
They would not be on welfare here.
They would not be committing crimes if they can't get a job here.
Do you realize that they come here for the same reasons you would come here if you had been born in an oppressive state where there was an economy where you had no chance of ever providing a decent living for your family?
They come here because their children are hungry.
They come here because America, in the form of the fifty several states, united for their common or mutual benefit and protection in the United States of America, is the only place upon the face of this entire earth that has ever In the history of the world, truly been free.
Where the citizens of this country, the citizens of the several states, have truly been kings and queens in their own right, sovereign individuals who created governments that served them.
Now someone wants to destroy that.
If we are the only source of freedom in the whole world, in the entire history of the world, what does that say for the rest of the world if we lose it now?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to tell you with no reservations, and I can fully, factually document this statement 100% and have been doing so for the last four years and three months, That if we fail in our battle to maintain our sovereignty, our Creator-endowed rights, protected by that instrument known as the Constitution for the United States of America, and the first ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights, then the entire world moves backwards in human evolution.
And we become once again owned by someone, some thing, some state, some government, some
emir, sultan, emperor, president, or maybe even someone who declares himself to be God,
which has happened many times in history.
Or some pope.
Freedom with responsibility is the ultimate achievement in human evolution, if there is
a human evolution.
And when I'm talking about evolution, I'm not talking about being descended from some turtle that crawled out of the sea and became an ape and jumped up in a tree and became a bird and somehow humans.
That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the evolution of thought and status and government and ideals and principles.
That's the evolution that I mean when I say evolution.
I don't mean that you came from a monkey when I use that term.
There's no proof of that anywhere.
There never has been, and up until this moment, there probably never will be.
Evolution is a means of destroying what we have achieved over the millennia of the human occupation of this planet.
There's also no proof that man sprang from some cosmic bane whatsoever.
But the real truth of the history of the world is more in line with the creation story of
the Bible than it ever has been with the theory of evolution.
Man, in his effort to free himself from restrictions Moral codes and the law has created, without any proof whatsoever, this theory of evolution in order to place man upon the throne of the universe and seat the crown upon his own head so that man will not be answerable to anything.
Now some of you who may be first-time listeners tonight, and I doubt that, under the circumstances, you're probably all long-time listeners, but if there are anyone who, I should say, if there is anyone who is a first-time listener, you may not understand that last statement.
But I've spent the last four and a half years documenting and proving that statement.
Specifically through the Mystery Babylon series.
And understand, ladies and gentlemen, that this is not a religious broadcast, although religion will enter into the debate and into the subject matter of this broadcast many, many times over the coming weeks, months, and years.
In fact, no subject is taboo on this broadcast, but nothing will be discussed that is not or cannot be thoroughly documented and sourced.
It does not mean that it has to be absolutely true.
For instance, we may air broadcasts that discuss and document and source and prove some of the allegations of those who would destroy freedom for the world.
We may, on some of these broadcasts, document and source the erroneous conclusions of those
who would destroy freedom for all of the peoples of the world.
When, ladies and gentlemen, the opposition is right, we will document that and we will
talk about it and we will admit it.
.
When they are wrong, we will document it, source it, talk about it, and we will destroy whatever they are propounding to be right.
If liberalism is right on some subject, we will also admit that and document it and source it on this broadcast.
If conservatism is right, we will document it and admit it and source it on this broadcast.
Because there is only one thing that we are concerned about.
We are not concerned about propounding conservatism or liberalism or despotism Or anything else.
We are only and solely concerned with delivering the truth so that all men and women who live upon the face of this earth can move toward freedom with responsibility.
So that we can be happy.
So that we can pursue life, liberty, and property.
for property is the source of happiness.
No one who ever lived in a communist or socialist regime has ever maintained any sort of self-respect, dignity, or long-lasting happiness because that is slowly sucked from them, taken away from them.
So if you want to know the political bent of this broadcast, it is simply a proponent of freedom for all peoples, of all races, of all religions, of all nationalities, all over this world.
And we believe that the very best way to maintain that status is to leave people alone to develop and prosper and evolve according to their own desires, wishes, and local mandates and requirements, wherever they may live, in whatever country they may live, in whatever status they may live.
We are against despotism.
We are against dictators.
We are against those who wish to injure and harm others.
We are against terrorism in all its forms.
We are proponents of the right to keep and bear arms of all peoples, understanding that freedom must be protected, and the only way for the people to protect themselves against despotism is through the right to keep and bear arms.
It is their only method against those who have the ability to perpetrate monstrous crimes using monstrous weapons to enslave whole populations.
You see, Mao Zedong was exactly 100% right when he said, all power emanates from the barrel of a gun.
He who has no gun has no power.
Be very, very, very suspicious and even hostile towards those who would disarm you, no matter
who you are, no matter what color you are, no matter what religion you belong to, no
matter what country you live in, no matter what part of this earth you occupy, no matter
how rich, poor, or how poor you are.
or destitute you are, no matter whether you live under a tree or in a mansion, you cannot
and will not remain free without the means to protect your freedom from those who would
take it against you. You see, this country was founded upon the principles and ideals
that freedom, sovereignty, individual rights given to each human being by God were manifested
here.
I've heard all the arguments saying that that's not true, that the fact that the early Americans owned slaves negated all of that, but it is true.
You see, because they believe that each individual has the right to contract.
Oh, yes.
And I'm going to tell you, if you're listening and you're black, you'd better listen very carefully to me, because you've been biting on a deadly pill that will destroy your freedom.
It's designed to enslave you in this socialist system, because you don't understand.
What really happened to your ancestors?
And you don't really want to, because it's really neat to be a victim and have everybody feel sorry for you.
I'm going to tell you right now, no one in this world can afford to be victims anymore or have anyone feel sorry for them, because that is the road to slavery.
Euphemistic slavery, though it may be, it is still slavery.
You must learn to stand up on your own two feet and be responsible.
Admit the mistakes of the past.
Don't blame your ills or misfortune on anyone else.
I don't care what color you are.
I don't care what religion you are.
I don't care what group you belong to.
I don't care where you came from.
You must learn to stand up.
Claim your Creator-endowed rights.
Claim your freedom wherever you are in this world.
And if you're in this country, it's much easier.
All you have to do has learned the very basic points of law, learned what the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights were really all about.
Stand up on your two feet and claim all of that history.
Slavery has nothing to do with anything that is occurring today.
It is a battle between those who would control other human beings and those who do not
wish to be controlled.
And it crosses all barriers.
Racial, religion, point of original ancestral origin, and everything else that you can think of.
And over the many nights of the future of this particular broadcast, you're going to hear a lot about that history and what it really means.
You're going to hear many more broadcasts on the worldwide Freedom Radio Network, because this network is about principles and ideals, not about borders.
The man or woman who claims, my country right or wrong, is wrong.
The battle must be over principles and ideals and nothing else.
If the battle is over a boundary, then you have lost before you have begun.
A man or woman without principles and ideals for which they are ready and willing to die for at any given moment, ladies and gentlemen, are already dead.
and are of no consequence or use whatsoever, not even to themselves."
Who said that?
I did.
It's an original quote.
And I mean every word of it.
It's the truth.
And if you don't believe it, you sit down and you study the men and women who throughout history have made a difference and who have given us all that we have that is worth anything today.
and you'll find that they believed in that principle, although it was never, never written
written or spoken until I put it into words.
or spoken until I put it into words.

I'm sorry.

Ladies and gentlemen, the hour of the time is brought to you by Swiss America Trading.
They specialize in hard assets, non-reportable assets, real money.
The coin of the realm, so to speak.
If you really want to put your money into something that never loses its value, that will make sure that the investment that you have made, the sweat of your brow, The toil of years, whatever work that you have right now that you never want to lose because of the fact that it has taken from your life, you need to put it in the only thing that has ever existed in the entire world which always maintains its value.
Oh, well, if it maintains its value, why does the price fluctuate?
The price fluctuates only in comparison to the presumed value of the phony paper that you carry in your pocket.
As that paper inflates, the value of real money, gold and silver in its various forms,
remains solid.
.
You see, ladies and gentlemen, throughout the history of the world, there has only been two commodities, gold and silver, which hold their purchasing power, or their worth, their intrinsic value, that is built in.
It's there.
You cannot take it away, because it's real.
It can be used for other things than a medium of exchange.
It does not rust easily.
It does not corrode easily.
In fact, gold does not corrode or rust at all.
Silver corrodes very, very slowly over many, many, many, many years.
In fact, gold that has been in the ocean since the 1600s has been recovered without any loss in value or weight.
silver that has been in the ocean since the 1600s has been recovered today with just a small loss in the total weight and value of that silver due to corrosion.
If it had not been in the corrosive salt sea environment, it probably would not have lost
any.
You can buy just as much with one ounce of silver today as you could a thousand years
ago.
Thank you.
You'll be able to buy just as much with one ounce of silver as you could a thousand years ago and today, a hundred
years from today.
No economy ever based upon gold and silver has ever failed in the history of the world.
Yet every paper system, which is what you have in your pocket today, has always failed.
None have ever survived.
I want you to think about those things, and then I want you to call Swiss American Trading.
Ask for the latest newsletter.
Ask them How you can get your hands on some real money and thank them for sponsoring not only the Hour of the Time, but the Worldwide Freedom Radio Network.
tell them how much you appreciate their loyalty and their concern about your freedom.
1-800-289-2646 I don't recommend anyone ever take a chance by investing upon anything that does not have an intrinsic
value. But many of you might want to investigate the potential of investment in numismatic
coins.
And I have to warn you right off the bat, it's just based simply upon who wants those coins and has nothing to do with any value that's built into those coins that will not go away.
You see, if tomorrow nobody wanted to collect coins, some of these $50,000 coins would be
worth only the gold or silver content within them.
And you could lose everything that you have.
Conversely, if the population of the world increases and the number of numismatic collectors
increases then you have a chance to make an awful lot of money by investing in numismatic
coins and many people have done so throughout the past.
However, I must caution you again, you do so at your own risk because take all of this
demand by collectors away and they're only worth the gold or silver that is contained
within them.
Thank you.
You might want to ask Swiss America Trading about your opportunities to invest and profit through investments in numismatic coins, but you must be prepared to take that risk and to lose all Just as you could lose all by purchasing stock on the stock exchange or by putting your money down on a crap table in Las Vegas.
Crossroads America Trading 1-800-289-2646 1-800-BUY-COIN and do it now!
And folks, they have stood solidly beside us for so long.
They have committed themselves Do not put your money with someone who has not stood out here on this battlefield with us.
they have been shot at and they have suffered. Do not put your money with someone who has
not stood out here on this battlefield with us. 1-800-289-2646.

Ladies and gentlemen, most of you listening to this broadcast tonight have satellite dishes and satellite receiving equipment, and you will be interested in joining The World Wide Freedom Radio Network.
If you are, please send us a letter and we'll send you all the information you need to know how to become an affiliate of the World Wide Freedom Radio Network.
We'll help you with technical advice.
We'll do everything we can to make you a success.
We will not do everything for you.
We will not assume legal responsibility for you.
We have enough of our own here.
When you step up on the battlefield, you must be prepared to get shot.
You also must understand that if you don't step up on this battlefield and fight for freedom of all people, you must be prepared to become enslaved.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather be shot.
So think about those things and I'm going to open the phones now and we'll see what kind of an audience we have during our premier broadcast and I'd also like to tell you That Michael Cottingham will become one of the regular broadcasters on the Worldwide Freedom Radio Network.
Michael Cottingham will be broadcasting about natural herbal remedies, natural health care, herbal medicines, all of those types of things.
The number to call is 520-333-4578.
520-333-4578.
And this is where we're going to get a first sort of indication of what kind of listening audience we have at the present moment.
I would also like to ask all of you out there, every single one of you, If you could, or if you would, or if you will, send us a postcard.
Tell us if you're listening to the Hour of the Time, and how many people are listening with you.
We need to know that.
This is called an audience sampling.
So everyone who is listening to this broadcast, whether you're listening on satellite Or whether you're listening on a rebroadcast from a low power FM transmitter in your area.
We want to know.
You don't have to tell me your name.
You don't have to tell me your address.
You don't have to tell me your phone number.
Just drop me a postcard and say I live in such and such a city and I listen to your broadcast either on my satellite dish or on FM 102 or whatever it happens to be.
And there are three other people who listen with me.
Or one other person who listens with me.
Whatever.
We need an audience sampling right off the bat to know what we are doing at this moment in order to be able to know when we are improving our audience base and when we begin to grow.
This is absolutely necessary.
So if you'll just take a few moments out of your day and drop us a simple, little, very inexpensive postcard.
We don't want any personal information.
We don't want your address.
We don't want your phone number.
All we want to know is if you're listening, what you're listening to.
Either an FM broadcast or a satellite broadcast and how many people are listening with you.
We want to know the city and if you're listening to a low power FM transmitter, We want to know the call letters of that transmitter and the city in which it transmits.
Simple as that.
Please do that for us, ladies and gentlemen.
It's very, very important.
Let's go to the phones.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Hello, Bill.
How are you doing?
This is Tom from California.
I'm doing pretty good.
I just love tonight and I just love Broadcasting two hours earlier means I get to spend more evening quality time with my family and with my children especially.
And I really get to tuck Pooh in instead of going in and pretending to tuck her in while she's asleep.
I understand.
My wife and I needed to leave your shallow area.
We're back in California now.
But we had a very, very good time at your house and my wife wanted me to say hello to Pooh and Annie more.
Well, they're listening and I'm sure they really appreciate that.
I like the idea that you're having a two hour show now and it sounds like it's going to be a great network.
Well, I think it is going to be a great network.
I think it's going to be more than great.
I think it's going to be the first time that the people of the entire world, not just the American people, but the people of the entire world have had an opportunity To have someone who's really interested in telling them the truth, and documenting it, and sourcing it, and not spreading rumors, and coming off irresponsibly, and not promoting some political agenda.
We are only interested in the empowerment of all people, of all races, religions, nationalities, and points of ethnic origin, so that they can become free, or remain free, or learn how to be free, whatever status they're in.
and that they will learn the truth because that's the only way that you can base decisions
about freedom or decisions about government or decisions about your life is on the truth.
And if you don't have the truth, then you're subject to be manipulated and destroyed or
enslaved or whatever the manipulators have in store for you.
I agree 100%.
And the potential is there.
I think it's a good thing.
Well great.
Thank you.
It gives you a lot more chance to get into a lot deeper and a lot more in detail the
subjects you cover.
All of a sudden you're a satellite.
This is something I'm looking forward to doing the show.
Well, great.
All right.
Have a good one, Bill.
Thank you.
Bye.
Thank you for calling.
The first hour will usually be either a monologue or some kind of an educational programming
so that we can impart to you information and then the second hour.
Well, most likely be open phone so that we can discuss and talk about what it is that has been the subject of the programming for that particular night.
And you're going to find that the hour of the time is going to be much different now because I no longer... I've done the messenger thing for four years and three months.
I have, I believe, awakened as many people as I'm going to awaken by doing that messenger thing.
And so now I'm going to be more like an ombudsman, a host so to speak.
I'm going to bring you documented information.
We'll debate that stuff if you want to debate it.
Whatever.
I believe that it's important that we enter into some kind of dialogue now.
Rather than a one-sided impartation, which it has been mostly for the last four years and three months.
And it's been that way because nobody knew anything except me and a few others in this country.
And some people had to be awakened and had to be... this information had to be delivered as a message.
And it had to be done in the manner that it was done.
Because we tried everything else and that didn't work.
Good evening, you're on the air.
And Annie, I need you to come up here and close this window.
Apparently there's a thunderstorm coming and the wind is raging through here and the door is just about to slam shut.
And you've got that in time.
So if you can... Oh, there goes the door.
Quick, get the door or we're going to have a terrible day.
Thank you.
Is the window closed?
Okay, great.
No, it's not closed.
It's going to whistle.
Folks, you're going to hear some whistling and stuff because a thunderstorm is coming up and the wind is blowing through here and there's nothing we can do about it right now.
So, good evening.
You're on the air.
Hello?
Well, I guess that person didn't stick with us.
So, I'll just hang up there and we'll wait for the next call.
5-2-0-3-3-3-4-5-7-8 is the number.
And for the next hour and ten minutes we're going to take calls and we're going to talk about whatever you want to talk about, the new network, what's happening with the Democratic, or what has happened with the Democratic Convention, what's going on with the election.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Good evening Mr. Cooper, this is Bill Henderson of North Carolina.
Well, believe it or not, I'm going to be up as late as I've always been up.
It just means that a part of that lateness that I have not been able to spend with my family is now going to be with them.
I'm just kidding.
I'm the one that's probably going to get a little more sleep out of the deal.
Well, that's true.
If you live on the East Coast, you need a lot more sleep out of the deal.
There's no doubt about it.
I'm rebroadcasting currently.
I don't know exactly the coverage there.
I have found one thing, though.
In the summertime, on the low power, the radius is less than in the wintertime.
The leaves kill the FM to some degree.
I see.
Well, that would depend upon the height of your antenna.
If your antenna is above the trees, if you can make it do that, I'm sure that you'll get a lot more coverage.
But I don't know your circumstance, and you have to work that out.
It's an hour and a half to work on that, so that's going to come along.
But I'm glad that you have done this.
I've got several friends that don't have satellite capability now, but they're working on it also.
But in the meantime, I'm giving them tapes.
We'll be giving them tapes of the shows you do.
One other thing, did you say it is now going to be a two-hour program?
Yes, it's going to be two hours a night from 7 until 9 Pacific.
8 until 10, Mountain.
9 until 11, Central.
And 10 until midnight, Eastern.
OK.
You might check with the gentleman that's doing Gary's show.
If I understood them correctly, they're under the impression, unless it's the Friday Night Live show that's on the same bird, they are thinking it's just still an hour show.
Well I think Gary already knows it and Gary will work that out and if it's necessary then we'll do one hour on Friday night so that Gary can do his show when he wants to.
Gary is a big part of this network and he certainly has been probably the most helpful person that I have encountered.
During the last four years and three months, as far as helping with this broadcast, and as far as helping with the formation and the ability of this network to succeed, I think Gary Bourgeois is going to be an extremely critical and important person.
He must be extremely knowledgeable in the subject.
One thing I didn't get in there tonight, the ADL tapes were probably the best series or
the best shows or most memorable.
So with that I'll hang up and let somebody else get in.
Okay thank you.
Also you know we're having a sale just like our January sale that we have had for the
last four years now.
in order to raise money to make this network a success.
And so the tremendous sale that we have every January that people usually wait all year for and really go crazy over, we're doing right now for 30 days.
And if you would like the list of sale items, please send us a self-addressed stamp, number 10 size business envelope and $1.
And we'll certainly send you all of the state-of-the-art sales items and you can go crazy with that.
Yeah, I took advantage of that and got the Mystery Babylon tapes.
If they're still available, I would recommend those to all your listeners.
The days they're running reruns you don't want to hear or on the weekend you can plug one of those tapes in and I'm still trying to soak all that up.
I'll have a good night sir.
I'll be listening.
Well, it's got to be.
It's the only time in the history of the world it's ever been done.
Exactly.
Well, have a good night, sir.
I'll be listening.
Thank you so much for calling.
520-333-4578 is the number.
And I didn't mean to cut him off when he was saying thank you, but I didn't realize that he was going to say it again.
So, we are on our international debut tonight for the Worldwide Freedom Radio Network and the new Hour of the Times.
The number if you'd like to call is 520-333-4578.
And I realize that we may have cut our audience down considerably by going off shortwave.
I know that there are a lot of satellite listeners out there.
And if we don't continue to get calls, then we are going to cut it off at one hour, until such time as we've increased our listening audience so that we have a continuous number of calls as we have always had.
Good evening, you're on the air.
Yes, hi Bill, Ron in California.
Hi Ron.
Hi, it's a great privilege to be on your last show and on your first show.
You were on the last one.
I tell you, things might seem to be a little slow at first, but I think there's a great potential here and this is, you know, how all big things get started with the first step, so I'm really excited about it.
I have some information to give you.
Okay.
There's a periodical called Radio World.
Yeah?
Radio stations get that, and they have a used, like a, how should I say it, like a classified in the back for used equipment.
And one of the things that's under the category is under transmitters, there's such a thing as a FM exciter.
How these things work in an FM station, the exciter is a small transmitter, essentially, that gets hooked up to an amplifier that delivers, you know, the wattage that professional stations have.
Well, if you use the exciter by itself, it essentially is a miniature transmitter.
And, like, they can, like, vary anywhere from 5 to 25 watts.
And they go very reasonable in this classified section.
I've seen 25 watt transmitters go for $300.
Wow.
Could you send me the name and address of that publication so that I can subscribe to it?
Okay, I have a fax number that I can give you right now.
Well, don't give it over the air.
Oh, okay.
Because we'll create a very big problem for them.
And we don't want to do that.
I've got a noisy line here again.
I'm sorry about this.
That's okay.
You know, noise just drives me nuts when it comes to sound.
Yeah.
And also, I wanted to ask you, what did you think of my idea of maybe printing out some flyers to approach satellite owners in the neighborhood?
Because I know that there's actually If we could get every satellite owner to listen, or at least half of them.
No, there's an easier way to do that.
All we have to do is get the mailing list for something like Orbit, our satellite magazines, and just send all of those people because you don't subscribe to those magazines and you don't get them unless you have a satellite dish.
That's true, but you know how things go and they just wind up on a coffee table to really get a grassroots feel of this.
I know as I talk to myself.
No, I'm not talking about advertising those magazines.
I'm talking about sending those people a letter.
Oh, I see.
I'm talking about getting the mailing list of the subscribers.
All magazines sell their mailing lists.
Well, that sounds like a better idea.
You know, coming from you, I expect a better idea than just me.
Well, we're going to try that.
But the flyer idea is wonderful for all of those of you who live in towns and cities.
You can drive around and you see somebody's got a satellite dish on their roof or in their yard and you just walk up to the door and stick a flyer in their screen door or whatever.
Yeah, that's an excellent idea.
That on such a small wattage... You know, I used to live in Oregon.
I used to live in a little town called Glendale.
And the only FM station we ever got was from Medford, which was about 60 miles away.
So I know there are many bergs out there that could use another FM station.
And if you did have 25 watts, It would give good coverage and you really wouldn't step on anybody.
Because I'm constantly confronted with that on the FM dial here because it's really crowded.
But I know if I lived anywhere else, it'd be no challenge at all to expand.
So I'm going to look into that UHF thing on the television.
Okay.
I gotta cut you off, because we gotta come up on station break here.
Okay, sir.
Don't...
I gotta cut you off, because we gotta come up on station break here.
