Hi Rich,
In my opinion, the Philly Inquirer has gone way
overboard with website ads like the one that
prevented you from reading the entire article
about WPPM-LP 106.5 MHz FM in Philadelphia.
That portable radio you saw a photo of me using
in that article is my Eton Satellit that I won at
a recent SWLfest. It has a hot FM receiver and
had no trouble picking up WPPM from a bench in
Washington Square Park. It also has a RDS
decoder and I'm trying to convince WPPM station
management to implement RDS so casual listeners
can see what station they're listening to. RDS
could also be used more creatively than that.
I lament that RDS isn't used anywhere near how it
could be used here in the states. Over a decade
ago in eastern Germany I monitored a Saturday
night techno dance show (on an FM station I can't
recall the name of) with my Sangean ATS-909 and
marvelled at the DJ's creative use of RDS to send
shout-outs and other real-time comments to
listeners. It was a perfect melding of
forward-facing radio broadcast technologies. Cool!

Interesting picture of Ed tuning a portable
radio too. Nice article although my reading was
interrupted by a chance to win a free iPhone 6.
Couldn't get out of that loop no matter how much I tried.

Nice piece. But on air next month? That
explains why on my travels to Center City
(medical stuff) yesterday and today I heard nothing.
WTHJ-106.5 is part of "Thunder 106" --
<http://thunder106.com>http://thunder106.com --
with its 1,450w off an antenna at 208m on
WWSI-62's tower -- 39°3753.00N
74°21â1â²12.00W -- in southern Ocean
County. WTHJ has a quieting signal oon the car
radio until about 2 miles east of the Airport
Circle (intersection of US 130, NJ 38 and 70), Pennsauken.
Earlier in the fest thread I commented earlier
on the 106.5 LPFM channel congestion. I now see
there won't be any chance of hearing the
results of Ed's work out here on the fringe of the Pine Barrens.
