My favorite radio station is KBCO in Boulder, CO. I listen to them all day while I am at work. From noon to one the dJ, Ginger, plays the select-a-set lunch. A few weeks ago I submitted my set, Bruce Hornsby (The Way it is), Bruce Cockburn (Lovers in a Dangerous Time), and Bruce Springsteen (No Surrender). Right after I emailed her the set, the Bruce Hornsby song came on so I figured they wouldn't play my set. I forgot about it after that. Today around 11:30 I got an email saying she was going to play my set and she wondered what my last name was. Then I read further and because my set was chosen, I won tickets to the Sheryl Crow / Colbie Calliat show at Red Rocks on 8/31/10, and Sheryl Crow's new CD. Woo Hoo! I was so excited. I love this station!

Radio Kootwijk is een voormalig zenderpark dat in de eerste helft van de 20ste eeuw een belangrijke communicatieverbinding vormde tussen Nederland en zijn toenmalige koloniën, met name Nederlands-Indië. Het werd gebouwd vanaf 1918. Ook werden er voor werknemers woningen gebouwd, die samen het gelijknamige dorp gingen vormen.
In 1917 stond er al een zend-/ontvangstation voor draadloze telegrafie op de langegolf op de hoogvlakte Malabar nabij Bandoeng op het Nederlands-Indische eiland Java, voor contact met het moederland. Er moest ook nog een tegenhanger in Nederland worden gebouwd. Na bestudering van verschillende locaties viel de keuze op een stuk Veluwe, een dunbevolkte landstreek.
Er werd een grote antenne gebouwd, bestaande uit koperen kabels die met elkaar verbonden waren en die hingen aan zes 212 meter hoge masten, en koperen kabels onder de grond. In het hart van dit systeem werd een radiostation gebouwd. Dit werd ondergebracht in een gebouw van gewapend beton, ontworpen door de Amsterdamse architect Julius Luthmann (1890-1973). De architect heeft zich voor het ontwerp van het hoofdgebouw, Gebouw A, laten inspireren door het zendstation van Telefunken in het Duitse Nauen en dankzij zijn belangstelling in de Egyptische mythologie ook door een sfinx. De vorm van dit mythische wezen is er, met name vanuit de lucht, in te herkennen. De bekendste bijnaam van het gebouw is 'de Kathedraal'.
KFBC's first air date was in 1940. It became the only radio station in Cheyenne March 28,1941,when KYAN went off the air permenently,selling it's transmitter site and tower to KFBC. KFBC was an affiliate of NBC Blue. Today it's an affiliate of CBS Radio featuring all sports programming. Cheyenne,Wyoming. 10.24.2017.

The sensual lines of the Art Deco era AWA Radio Tower contrast against the brutal lines of the more modern neighbouring buildings.
Built in 1939 to serve as a radio transmission tower, it operated until the 60's and once contained a lift to provide access to the viewing platform.
Protected by a heritage order, this symbol of a more stylish age provides Sydney's citizens and visitors with a glimpse into that past.

Yours truly deep into the radio groove inside the third floor of an anonymous nondescript brick building in Bridgeport, Connecticut. September 2005.
Doing this oldies show at WPKN-FM in Bridgeport, CT on Saturday evenings was probably the most fun thing I've ever done!
Ever since falling in love with the fast pace, tight formats and on-air personalities of classic Top-40 radio in my childhood years, I finally got my own shot it! (and it lasted for almost 19 years!).
As a weekend show, I had complete control over the contents. The show was a mix of well known tunes along with copious amounts of B-sides, as well as many album tracks which should have become hits in their time, but never did. Numerous vintage jingles and commercials from my collection copied to broadcast tape carts added to the overall recreation of the way radio used to sound.
At 10,000 watts, we were getting calls and requests from most of Connecticut, Long Island and even parts of Rhode Island and upstate New York.

The TAB Building in Albion was designed by the now-retired Queensland architect Geoffrey Pie in conjunction with Hall Phillips and Wilson Architects (now Phillips Smith Conwell Architects). It was a government funded project during the mid-1970s.
Pie received the Robin Boyd Award for residential architect for his own home in 1986 and was made a member of the Order of Australia in 2014.
The TAB Building was the recipient of the 25 Year Award for Enduring Architecture from the Queensland chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects in 2007. In its award citation, the jury praised the building for having “weathered generations of reaction to, and subsequent re-embracing of, the principles of functional modernism.”
The institute, led by then-chapter president Richard Kirk, lodged an application with the Queensland government’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection to have the building placed on the State Heritage Register in September 2015. The bid was rebuffed the following year.
“The [building] is a fine surviving example of Late Twentieth Century Brutalist architecture, which is located on the city fringe of Brisbane,” reads the institute’s application.
“This ten storey commercial building has enjoyed a certain degree of public notoriety as a local landmark for Albion since its construction. Although the building is only around forty metres in height, its comparative scale against the late-nineteenth or early twentieth century commercial architecture of the adjacent Albion centre generates a considerable visual presence for the (former) TAB Building in this locality.”
As the tallest building on an arterial road, the building was “a solitary, prominent, forward scout for modern urban architecture in the middle ring suburbs.”
Although heritage protection for the Albion TAB Building was rejected, the company behind the Hudson Common project intend to repurpose the existing structure in their multiuse precinct of residential, commercial, and corporate.

The Varberg Radio Station at Grimeton in southern Sweden (built 1922-24) is an exceptionally well-preserved monument to early wireless transatlantic communication. It consists of the transmitter equipment, including the aerial system of six 127-m high steel towers. Although no longer in regular use, the equipment has been maintained in operating condition. The 109.9-ha site comprises buildings housing the original Alexanderson transmitter, including the towers with their antennae, short-wave transmitters with their antennae, and a residential area with staff housing. The architect Carl Åkerblad designed the main buildings in the neoclassical style. The antenna towers were the tallest built structures in Sweden at that time. The site is an outstanding example of the development of telecommunications and is the only surviving example of a major transmitting station based on pre-electronic technology.
It was added to the Unesco world heritage list in 2004.

Russland kürzt Militäretat um mehr als 25 Prozent
Die Budgetplanung der russischen Regierung sieht bis 2019 stark abgespeckte Verteidigungsausgaben vor. Den westlichen Massenmedien und Mainstream hat es davon dermaßen die Sprache verschlagen, das sie es seit Monaten verschweigen. (aus deutsch.rt.com/amerika/47918-aggression-light-russland-ku...(
War die Russische Föderation Anfang der 2010er Jahre noch vorwiegend das Ziel einer Kulturkampf-Kampagne vonseiten westlicher Politiker und Medien, gruben diese spätestens seit der Ukraine-Krise den nach dem Scheitern des Augustputsches von 1991 eingemotteten Narrativ von der vermeintlichen militärischen Gefahr wieder aus, die von Russland ausgehe.
Nicht nur, dass Russland die treibende Kraft hinter dem bewaffneten Aufstand im Donbass wäre, würde der Despot aus Moskau zudem nur auf den passenden Vorwand warten, um wahlweise das Baltikum, Schweden oder am Ende Westeuropa selbst anzugreifen.
Für die westlichen Polit-Eliten war diese Darstellung immerhin überzeugend genug, um die eigenen Militärausgaben drastisch in die Höhe zu schrauben und dem größten Aufmarsch an NATO-Truppen in Europa seit Ende des Kalten Krieges den Weg freizumachen.
Nun scheint sich der Superschurke Putin einen besonders perfiden Plan ausgedacht zu haben, um den Klassenfeind zu verwirren: Wie selbst das den US-Demokraten nahestehende Onlineportal Salon bemerkte, hat die Russische Föderation ihre Militärausgaben nicht etwa, wie es sich für einen Aggressor eigentlich gehört, massiv nach oben geschraubt, sondern für 2017 um satte 25,5 Prozent gekürzt.
Wie die Zahlen aus dem Finanzministerium der Russischen Föderation zeigen, ist der Verteidigungsetat nur noch mit 2,8 Trillionen Rubel veranschlagt, was 48 Milliarden US-Dollar entspricht, während es im Jahr 2016 noch 3,8 Trillionen Rubel, etwa 65 Milliarden US-Dollar, gewesen waren.
Das US-Fachmagazin IHS Jane's spricht in diesem Zusammenhang vom "größten Schnitt bei den Militärausgaben seit den frühen 1990ern".
Natürlich lässt sich relativierend darauf hinweisen, dass die Kürzung lediglich bei etwa sieben Prozent liegt, rechnet man die Rückzahlung von Verbindlichkeiten an Unternehmen der Verteidigungsindustrie mit ein. Auch ist der Militäretat der Russischen Föderation immer noch um 14,4 Prozent höher als noch 2014. Seit 2011 war Moskaus Rüstungsbudget im Schnitt um 19,8 Prozent im Jahr angewachsen.
Allerdings ist 2017 offenbar nicht das letzte Jahr, in dem Russland beabsichtigt, im Militärhaushalt den Gürtel enger zu schnallen. Defense World schreibt unter Berufung auf IHS Jane's, dass der Trend sich laut Dreijahres-Voranschlag bis 2019 fortsetzen wird.
Darüber hinaus war auch bereits der Anstieg der Ausgaben in den Jahren zuvor nicht primär dadurch bedingt, dass Russland sein Waffenarsenal erheblich aufgestockt hätte. Ziel war es vielmehr, die bestehenden Kapazitäten, die zum Teil noch aus der Sowjetära stammen, umfassend zu modernisieren und bis 2020 etwa 70 Prozent der Bestände durch neue Waffen zu ersetzen.
Insgesamt sollten 2.300 neue Panzer, 1.200 neue Helikopter und Kampfflugzeuge, 50 Schiffe und 28 U-Boote an die Stelle bestehender Ausstattung treten.
Die freie Journalistin Danielle Ryan weist in ihrem Beitrag für Salon darauf hin, dass das russische Militärbudget damit gerade mal ein Zehnten des US-amerikanischen aufweist, das im Moment bei 600 Milliarden US-Dollar im Jahr liegt. Zudem würden allein die von Präsident Donald Trump geforderten zusätzlich geforderten 54 Milliarden US-Dollar an Militärausgaben etwa 80 Prozent des gesamten russischen Etats für 2016 entsprechen.
Infolge der Kürzungen im Militäretat für 2017 fällt die Russische Föderation, was den Militäretat anbelangt, weltweit vom vierten auf den achten Rang zurück und damit unter anderem hinter Indien und Frankreich.
Die westlichen Mainstream-Medien scheinen die Nachricht indes nicht für allzu relevant zu halten. Danielle Ryan schreibt in Salon:
Als der Einschnitt bekanntgegeben wurde, blieben die Radiostationen im Westen still. Eine Suche nach dem 'Russischen Verteidigungsetat' bei Google News fördert keine einzige Mainstreamquelle zutage, die dies als bedeutende Nachrichtenstory behandelt hätte. Es ist schwer vorstellbar, dass es dieselbe Reaktion gegeben hätte, hätte Russland seine Verteidigungsausgaben erhöht statt gesenkt. Selbst eine moderate Erhöhung hätte höchstwahrscheinlich eine Kettenreaktion von furchterregenden Berichten über den russischen Bären ausgelöst.
Noch im Jahr 2015 verwiesen Kongressabgeordnete, sekundiert von den führenden Leitmedien, auf die vermeintliche russische Bedrohung hin, als es darum ging, eigene Einschnitte im Verteidigungshaushalt zu verhindern. Das Pentagon konnte sich auf den Mainstream verlassen, als es darum ging, den Narrativ vom aggressiven Russland als Begründung für die Obstruktion von Sparplänen in eigener Sache heranzuziehen.
Dabei hätte ein Blick auf leicht nachvollziehbare Fakten ausgereicht, um herauszufinden, dass die Realität nicht viel mit den Katastrophenszenarien des politisch-medialen Komplexes gemein hatte. Dies, so Danielle Ryan, wollte man aber auch gar nicht wissen:
Aber tiefe Analyse bringt keine guten Schlagzeilen hervor. Die Tatsache, dass Putin vielmehr die russischen Verteidigungsausgaben reduziert, passt nicht so gut zur konventionellen und sensationsorientierten Sichtweise, dass Moskau aktiv auf Konflikt aus ist und alles Gute, Wahre und Schöne zerstören will.
Der politisch-mediale Komplex im Westen wird seinen irrationalen Diskurs über Russland wohl ungeachtet dieser Entwicklungen weiterführen. An einem Tag steht der Dritte Weltkrieg bevor, weil niemand die unersättliche Machtgier des Kremls stoppen will - der noch dazu die Macht hat, im Westen beliebig Wahlen und Nachrichten zu manipulieren. Am anderen Tag hat man es wiederum mit einer unbedeutenden Regionalmacht zu tun, die unmittelbar vor dem wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruch steht.
Dazwischen scheint es nichts zu geben. Und für liberale Interventionisten wie für unbelehrbare Neocons im Westen ist das Bild vom russischen Weltfeind einfach politisch zu wertvoll, um zuzulassen, dass Fakten und die Realität es beflecken.

This is my opinion. But it seems true!!! I'm not a Miley fan, sorry to you Miley fans. I don't see any good in her. Didn't you see her on the Teen Choice Awards?! I was like you want little girls to look up to THAT??? She looked like a stripper!!!! Wonder what her dad thought lol.

Located at 131-139 E. Crawford Avenue in Connellsville, the derelict former WCVI radio station building was being demolished in May 2016. The historic structure was built sometime between 1845 and 1850. It started life as a hotel. WCVI began broacasting in Connellsville in 1947, but moved to this building in 1955 and remained there until the end. Studios and offices were located on the second floor. A kitchen, breakroom, and two apartments were on the third floor. Sometimes the radio personalities stayed there. WCVI was sold in 1985, and slowly declined after that. Bankrupt and in a deteriorating building, the radio station went off the air in 2001. It was sold to a company that owned The Pickle and Froggy, other well known local radio stations. Other call letters were assigned including WPNT and then WYJK. That station also eventually went off the air on September 15, 2011. The license was given to the FCC and officially cancelled on June 12, 2012. The structure continued to decay until May 2016 when demolition by Stash Trucking began. They were awarded a $75,000 contract by the Connellsville Redevelopment Authority which purchased the property for only $1,000 in 2015. It was declared a public nuisance by the city of Connellsville in the same year.

Grimeton Radio Station was in 2004 inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Swedish-American Ernst Alexanderson had developed a technology for wireless telegraphy which came to be used at the radio station in Grimeton. Today, the long-wave transmitter at Grimeton Radio Station, with its alternator and multiple antenna, is unique as the only surviving radio station from the time before radio tubes for high power.
During the Second World War 1939-1945, the radio station in Grimeton experienced a heyday, when it was Scandinavia’s gateway to the outside world. Cable connections had once again been quickly destroyed by nations at war and the wireless telegraph was a link to the world.
Grimeton Radio Station is now the only station left in the once transatlantic network of nine long wave stations that were built during the years 1918-1924, all equipped with the technology that was constructed by Ernst Alexanderson. Alexanderson’s long-wave technology from the 1920’s is still fully operational, and is used on special occasions every year.

Radio on a scale most people will never have come across. It measures 10m by 10m by 6m.
This is a variable-inductance coil used for tuning the aerial of the very-low-frequency (VLF) 16-kHz transmitter installed at Rugby Radio Station and operational from 1943 to 1966, together with separate transformer and variometer with supporting framework.
The framework is made of Sitka spruce, with fixings consisting of wooden dowelling and nylon nuts and bolts. Wedges used to keep the coil in place are made of wood, whilst tap point connections and cable terminals are made of metal. The support tubing or casing of the coil sidings are made of synthetic-resin-bonded paper, whilst the inner coil, a Litz wire cable, is made of enamelled copper wire.
The Rugby Tuning Coil was used to tune antenna at the station to the right frequency. When it began service on 1 January 1926, the Rugby station was the most powerful in the world. It transmitted official wireless news messages to the Empire and ships at sea worldwide - a first.
In 1928 the station was used to send a message to Mars - yes, the planet - at the request of a Dr Mansfield Robinson, a London lawyer, who believed he had been in contact with Mars. The Post Office, which operated the station, accepted the message as a commercial transaction and charged him 1s 6d per word, the same as the standard message rate. Sounds like he got a good deal! I suspect AT&T long-distance would have been a bit more expensive...LOL
The coil was also used during the Cold War as the station transmitted classified material to/from ships and submarines during the Cold War. I believe it was a key part of the nuclear firing chain for British SSBNs.
The coil was decommissioned in 2003 and now is the centrepiece in the Information Age Hall on the second floor of the Science Museum in South Kensington.
This building has been renovated a few times, it is in the center of my city.
Curious about it is that the local radio station continues to run even today, even after all these years!
Radio Kootwijk is a former transmitter park on the Veluwe, west of the town of Apeldoorn, which formed an important communication link between the Netherlands and its former colonies, in particular the Dutch East Indies, in the first half of the 20th century. It was built from 1918 (architect: Julius Luthmann). The broadcasting function ceased altogether in 1999. (Source: Wikipedia)

He also had an oldies show, but the approach was completely different. While my show was fast paced, highly energetic and reminiscent of vintage Top 40 and its "forward thrust" formatics, his show was laid back and educational. After each set of tunes, he would discuss the the back-stories of the artists and songs just played. I learned a lot listening to the tales and insights he spoke about to his audience. He was an absolute font of information and fascinating trivia about 1950s, '60s and '70s music.
