One of the things that baffles me is why people keep signing up for accounts when there is very little reason to have an account. A substantial number never login to their account, but I rarely get a complaint that the process is broken
An account allows you to be a volunteer, to create polls, remember favorites, set topics, submit ratings – which (almost) nobody does. I’ve always been paranoid about sending emails, fearing getting spamming complaints.
If there was a mailing list, what would you like to be in it?
I would like to be in on the mailing list.
Thank you.
What would you want to receive in your inbox? How often?
I’m playing around with mailchimp. The widget doesn’t do anything yet

The fact I’m not set up with an email service for fred@streamingradioguide.com means I likely can’t do this without more work. Opening up the server to handle email has lots of issues. I’m not motivated enough to pay for a third party service
I recommend you consider setting up a free twitter account such as @SRG or @StreamingRadioGuide and tweet your comments. You can attach your newsletter to your tweets. I recommend you make them public but you could do a private account and allow followers by invitation only.
Understandable when many of the malware exploits use access to your email senders list to replicate more malware via email.
yeah, I’m in
Only if you tell what you think it should be 😉
Oh most definitely. You can add me to your email. I enjoy coming to your site and if I can help in anything please let me know. I have a lot of time in my hands and basically all I do is read and comment in many different forums (as well as play games, listen to lectures on a variety of subjects, and use Coursera again on a wide variety of courses available.
Please let me know how I can help.
The Puerto Rican radio stations really need a “czar”. While I had two years of Spanish in high school, I’m far from fluent, and most PR web sites are in Spanish.
Puerto Rico has another quirk which I’m sure you remember – while the entire island is considered to be one media market, the geography of the island prevents one transmitter from covering the entire island – so east/west/central simulcasts are very common.
Similar to Hawaii, it must be hard to make income doing radio – ownership changes are frequent and I am confident I have many mistakes, and lots of missing web sites. Let me know if any of that would be interesting.
Absolutely. Count me in. I don’t know if you have international stations (funny I’ve been here so many years and only use Conservative Talk Radio), but if you need help in French, Portuguese (Brazilian), Italian, Hebrew, or Vietnamese, I can help.
Just let me know, at your convenience, what you want me to do with the PR stations.
Yes, I remember traveling through the island and not being able to listen to stations just beyond a few miles of the transmitter. I remember trying to listen to the only English-speaking station at the time (early 50’s WHOA or WHOM), located in San Juan which was 40 or so miles from Ramey AFB. I had to install an antenna on top of a 20-30′ bamboo pole in order to listen. At night I would get the stations from the Dom Rep , Cuba, and Venezuela just as clear.
My dad bought me a Grundig short wave radio and it was magic. I would spend my hours just listening and trying to understand. It was probably the most wonderful time of my your, me and my Grundig. Unfortunately, lightning stuck my antenna in a storm an burned everything. Later dad bought me GE then we got moved to NY and then TX. I had that radio for about 10 years. Well, ’nuff reminiscing.
My father was a “ham” and got his amateur license in the 1920s. During WW2, he taught Army guys how to use their field radios and fix them. He had a multi band receiver that he let his 6 year old son play with. I would ask him annoying questions like why many of the stations in the Middle East had these guys “singing” [call to prayer] all the time.
