Off-air recordings dumped on archive.org

Take them, burn them on to CDs, mail them to the FCC.

The FCC probably has a file cabinet full of complaints about Billy. Assuming they didn't shred everything, because they never had any intention of dealing with him. And won't admit it.

The WARFA guys should get an award for persistence in the face of extreme stupidity. "It's Raining Tacos" violates the Geneva Convention.

That Perry Gripp bullshit has not ended as you can hear below:

WARFA Main, From 7 56pm. Jammed. Sun. 2023-05-01 T 03-49-52 Z 3908.0kHz

https://archive.org/details/warfa-main- ... 3908.0k-hz

So the Western Amateur Radio Friendship Association started at 8:01pm so the first five minutes of this recording is the end of the Hi-Fivers check-in net. The jamming was relentless and featured such standards as "It's Raining Tacos" by Parry Gripp, John Prukop (WA7BZI) clips from 3840 kHz, the Arthur Godfrey parody "He's Too Weird for Me" ("Too Fat Polka"), the YouTube "Wash yo Nuts" woman featuring different bits of her rant, and another William F. Crowell (ex-W6WBJ) fake Reggae song about jumping around, plus recordings of Eldon Stewart, Sr. (the "nobody cares" guy from 3840 kHz). The jamming was brutal and pointless because people still checked in.

Billy lost his license three years ago after nearly 20 years of legal loophole "suspension" (thank you Riley Hollingsworth!) where he wasn't supposed to be transmitting, and despite it all, he's still jamming. Eldon "noobody cares!" Stewart, Sr. gave up. The 3840 crew vanished and that frequency is used by normal people. But William F. Crowell (ex-W6WBJ) and his unknown confederate(s) are still out there, pointlessly jamming a check-in net full of geezers. Only an ex-lawyer (which is what Crowell is) would be so persistent.

Two more items from Strel. Only these are really funny ones.

From 2014, a bunch of freaks abuse the 435 repeater's new owner Roger Bly. He TRIED to crack down, and I'm guessing he failed dramatically. The FCC is totally off the case.

And if you wanna hear the equally berserk 450 "W6NUT" repeater, they have a website and comment-book full of insults, rage, assorted madness. Plus a livestream of the repeater audio that may or may not work.

Every Radio Angela recording I did is now a historical document, because that sub-station of WBCQ could not get any advertisers, so they shut it down at the end of May. https://archive.org/details/@k6uaa <=== where you can see them all.

WWCR - 'Common Sense Coalition Talk Radio' Plus First Six Frantic Minutes Of 'InfoWars'. 25m. T. 06-06-2023 12160.0kHz
https://archive.org/details/wwcr-common ... of-info-wa

From station startup, the USA News package, through the entire episode of CSC Talk Radio, and then from 60 minutes on, the most insane InfoWars opener where Alex Jones claim that the "communist Chinese" have taken over US telecommunications with the implied theme that they are coming to get Alex Jones. Truly fun stuff.

(Just listen to the InfoWars insanity, CSC is the dullest non-religious show on shortwave.)

[ericbarbour]

Well, the communist Chinese nailed his fat little ass.

And it still saddens me that in the process of removing thousands of "serious" videos of Jones ranting, YouTube's knucklehead moderators also removed dozens of satirical videos mocking him. The few that survived tend to be things The Young Turks or VICE posted years ago. He's a VAUDEVILLIAN, dammit! Only fools would believe all the conspiracy talk....right?

There are a bunch of Infowars archives on archive.org:

And so on, but they are not organized.

As for the parodies, you're right, they have been scattered to the four winds.

There are a bunch of Infowars archives on archive.org:

Ah hah, interesting. And amazing that Jones isn't suing the Archive to get this stuff taken down. And that they continue to host it--wonder if their left-coast buddies know there is a ton of old Infowars video and audio there? Do they care?

This is the oldest video I could find there: 12 September 2001. He immediately started ranting that the terrorist attacks were "false flag" operations run by the US government "or someone in Europe". Plus the usual about fiat currencies and foreign (Jewish? he doesn't say THAT on the air) bankers and the Russians and Chinese "moving suitcase nukes into this country" and taking over islands off Alaska, blah blah etc etc....he's been running this shtick for 30 years, it's become a public joke, and yet it still works on some people.

https://archive.org/details/september-1 ... ipc-gch-la

According to WP he started running a call-in show on public-access tv in 1993, when he was still in high school. I'd like to see THAT video. He's been consistently insane and I bet it goes all the way back.

More crap for the pile:

WRMI On Wrong Frequency -- African Preacher, Then R. G. Stair's Cult Without Stair. Fragment. T. 2023-08-22 T 23-35-33 Z 13722.0kHz

https://archive.org/details/wrmi-on-wro ... hout-stair.-

Like with most of this stuff, it was bound at random; I hit the NA5B 20 meter band hurricane frequency button and down on the 22 meter band I ran across this unlisted station, which turned out to be WRMI. No idea who the first preacher is, and then it's an undated "Overcomer's Ministry" episode without Ralph Gordon Stair (1933-2021) preaching. Might have dated to his 2002 arrest, some mention of the Space Shuttle but no craft name given out. Utterly bizarre that WRMI is on this frequency and WWCR is back on 5442 kHz.

https://archive.org/details/wwcr-overco ... ranting.-w

What it says on the tin - I started recording then walked away, thinking this was another station and not WWCR. Debated not posting this, because the cult built around Ralph Gordon Stair (d. 2021) is on multiple shortwave stations, on AM/FM stations, streaming online 24/7, streaming by telephone. But the horror must be shared.

CBers ranting on channel 6:

My comments:

No one tells them they can't use sound effects or reverb, so of course they hook up and abuse everything. I suspect some of those fine gentlemen are using pro-grade vocal processors to make themselves sound better. Hams who did that in the "good old days" were looked down upon by the others, for "lack of purism".

"Nipples Florida" lol. Rant, rant, rant.

Might also note that most of them are using GIANT linear amplifiers. More than 3 kilowatts is "not unusual". You can now openly buy Chinese linears of 100 to 300 watts on Amazon, no questions asked.
