Scanning through the bands tonight as I have often done before. I come across the Marconi Radio Net, as I have run into before in the past as well.
Tonight his QRM'er is playing 70's pop music, good audio quality BTW, and another QRM'er is replaying sound bits of his past nets. Everytime I hear this net, there is always interference. Consistent, planned out, tenacious interference.
My question is: Why is there always interference on this net? What is the history here?

Charles, I just did a Google search and came up with this page of opinions:

I don't know if any of them are accurate or anything but apparently, he's pissed off more than a few people.

Another shit disturber playing the victim. OK. I get it.

Following comment nails is squarely:


"Sadly, the only purpose of this 'net', is to stroke Fred's misguided ego."

And then there's the (n)ever popular "I, Victum!" schtick.

I seem to recall it all starting because of IXT always parking shoulder to chest, next to other nets....and if correctly, a long established AM net in the begining.

It seems if you can never get that right, you'll soon draw a large enough crowd of persistent goonies to make you infamous. :lol:

I have not been on the Marconi net in quite some time, so take this with the proverbial "grain of salt".

My personal observations are that:

1) Fred's got a pretty big ego and doesn't take a lot of effort to conceal it. (yeah, I know... pot, meet kettle :lol: at least I'll admit it)

2) He's managed to piss off a number of people over the years, both intentionally and unintentionally.

3) He's in love with the sound of his own voice.

4) He doesn't seem to know when to STFU about the jammers. In many cases, I think he encourages them on purpose so he can play the "victim".

5) He doesn't know when to STFU in general.

6) Like most people who inhabit the General portion of 75m, he needs to Get A Life. :roll:

Wrong net. I Think that's the 80m colostomy net you are thinking about.

To paraphrase Groucho Marx:

I don't care to belong to a net that accepts people like me as check-ins.

Oh man, i wish i still had that album. It was one of my first forays into the wonderful world of 70's prog rock. I downloaded the entire album off iTunes a couple of years ago, then my puter crashed and i lost it all. When i went back to get it during my music collection rebuilding era, i guess they lapsed the license to use/sell that album or something...but i still have are a few tracks i transfered to cd. I bet i can find it online fairly easy. I figured as much so i havent gone looking very hard, i admit. Great album...i used to own a Rickenbacker 4001 back in the 80's, just like Chris Squire uses, i miss that sound.

Well, that settles it. I just hijacked a thread on a subject of which i know nothing about, to discuss prog rock albums. Thats the Island for ya...good times, good times...

The Yes commentary prompted me to do a little Wiki searching.

I had no idea that the band (or its members performing as solo acts) recorded as much as they did..figured the late 80's was about it for them, as Yes certainly doesn't get much air play these days.

WRONG.

Time to start scouring the music stores again...
