YUP
I remember WEAM the "lively one" and the daytime "Down Beat" and Johnny Dark doing Tops Telequest time at night as a remote from the various Tops Carry outs. The girls would come to you car with  the order.
And I definitely remember the WUST transmitters. There was one very nice man there, Can't remember the name and he said that those old transmitters were still "assets" to the station and a giveaway was out of the question. It's funny that they are on the air with a solid state 20KW AM Tx.

Run an old-timey tape bulk eraser across the drive case several times.


Frayed Knot OM! Most HD's are magnetically shielded. I even tried this myself just to bust this myth. I installed Windows on a Western Digital HD. After the system was up and running I pulled the HD and ran it over a Cart Bulk Eraser a quite a few times. The system still booted and there were no apparent problems during running.

Inside the HD there are sheets of magnetic media over and around the data chamber. If the drive is exposed to a magnetic field the magnetic field is simply absorbed and directed around the drive compartment instead of directly striking the data surface on the platter.

Disclaimer: That's not to say this can't be done on some of the many inexpensive drives. But my test on a common WD HD showed no damage at all.

4 images, 2 images, 10,000 images; there's no difference between slightly guilty, real guilty, and guilty.

I still say something's gone awry within the criminal justice system when you can get more time in the slammer for private possession of images on your computer's hard drive, than for committing a real live molestation.

Looks like the story has made national mainstream news. 

WB4AIO now appears as "not  listed" on the QRZ.com callsign lookup.
