This week's edition of the Random Access Thought was recorded back in early January and introduces Mother Radio's better half Boleslav Krasnov who quietly reflects back on the era of radio pagers and beepers. Boleslav is a senior technician of over forty years experience at Canarsie Wireless in Brooklyn.
Boleslav Krasnov's personality and vocal intonations are largely based on a fellow ham, Barry Groupp - N2HDW of Pearl River, who sadly passed away a few years ago. Amateur radio operators living in the metropolitan New York area will recall Barry as one super enthusiastic tech guy when it came to amateur repeaters and repeater system inter-ties. In fact, Barry worked closely with Ike - WB2BQW in the construction and development of the Northeast Connect, a massive network of VHF and UHF repeaters covering seven states and more!
Barry Groupp's website is available for viewing at http://www.qsl.net/n2hdw/. Ike's location is on the same block at http://www.qsl.net/wb2bqw/.
In the associated Random Access Thought Promo, Marilyn discusses another one of her curious quirks with Mother Radio. In addition to her pastime of watching paint dry, Marilyn possesses an impressive assortment of classic radio pagers and beepers, all linked to the same telephone number.
In our QSL offer, Cigman and Marilyn analyze some listener response from the mysterious "Robert", a Number One Fan who complains about everything he hears on This Week in Amateur Radio.
And finally, in a special introductory promo, Zach's pal Bix Nix cruises the Internet and discovers that Staff Blogs are now accessible from the official This Week in Amateur Radio. Yeah, you too can be on the inside track of this brand new admittedly self-indulgent TWIAR web page feature!
