Mark Koernke discussed micro FM broadcasting history, tracing its origins to Vietnam-era guerrilla radio operations and the innovation of garage-based radio stations in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He provided technical guidance on setting up micro FM stations, including antenna construction using glass insulators and guy wires. The show covered coffee supply chain issues, particularly the disappearance of Ethiopian coffee from U.S. markets, and announced upcoming signal flash alert tests scheduled for Friday evening and Saturday across the Great Lakes region using 6-meter and CB radio. Koernke also explored thematic elements in classic rock music from the 1960s-70s, particularly Bob Seger's "Night Moves" album and Johnny Horton's pro-American Civil War and Revolutionary War songs, encouraging listeners to rediscover overlooked album tracks with patriotic messaging.
This is the second hour of the morning. Intelligence report. I'm Mark Herkey. For all of our brothers behind the lines, network in the morning. We're also on Liberty Tree radio.4fd.com running. Method Mike Bros. in the Hallmark network. From the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, misses a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd in our friends in the recall state of. We have the great state of Jefferson. Remember that, guys. Nichols, one dollar coins and two dollar bills. Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson. Turning back to the East-West lanes, the leaf over the Sippee. Where does all that rain go? You know, nobody's talking about what's the water level for the Great Lakes this year. Have you noticed how the big puddles of water is how things is like, well, the Mississippi River is usually going dry and the Great Lakes are gonna be dusted by and by. Paraphrase, you know, the member. Well, the Sippee does go up. supplementing about those big puddles of water with ice on them and that ice kind of you know stayed with us longer and the water runoff from all the land creates all those filly spots and behold what a super the thunk it of a miracle with the K-2000. Were you waiting for another cop-out so you could figure out how to sit on your arse and do nothing? Were you looking for a way to angst and turn your eyes crossed inward? Yes, the old bung-ho pucker's up so tight, you couldn't drive a needle up with a sledgehammer? Are you looking for excuses? Well, we've got a Nostradamus! A job. That means we can just go to town and do whatever we want, like break off the ammo and we- ammo mags and weapons and do the job! Get it? After all, we're do- There's your sand. The end. No, it's on your hands! I- I- The Mayan calendar to- oh wait no no no, oh forget that, oh forget the Mayan calendar, forget the Mayan calendar Nostradamus! Notre Dame-us, man! Yeah, he's a football coach from Northern Indiana, isn't he? No, Notre Dame-us? One of the other, I tend to forget it, those who want to sit in their hind end and eat the lament, then there's nothing! Communications, that's not for long, the microphone's fixed enough, and longer! as far as micro FM broadcasting goes back to the 70s and the early 70s late 60s, Gorilla FM radio really came into play. Vietnam vets coming back and they've been playing with these you didn't even know about. They really went out and are losing slave labor over there and on the street vendors with electronics nobody had seen over here because it was not yet but it was coming our way because the Japanese were the ones who were using that micro tech bags of cool widgets and stuff that we just didn't have here. And so the guys played with one piece of equipment, found another piece of sound system equipment, took some military pads that were derelict fields or brand new out of the epoxy. And they made micro radio stations out the DOM all over the bush. They're doing nothing, they were actually broadcast, because nobody knew what an F-ation was, but it was like a radio station, it was a DJ, man! And they were even playing music off these things called the set. And, well, actually the tunes did. once in a while they knew where to kick it out, fade off, and come up as a DJ. Oh you thought that all started over here? You guys came back over here and said hey let me explain to you about FM radio. Nobody knew what the hell FM radio. Nobody. FM radio came in because like you and me, you know it was that age of innovation and creativity before Common Core. Last thing you wanted to create and the Ring Knocker teachers that are in the sense their job. The communists of course, the communist principals. Only so many shysters that have to be in there that are the door wardens. And rather than the exception, back in the day, you know, when they had micro broadcasters doing micro FM because nobody knew what it was and everybody started making that, let me make you a receiver for your car, you can listen to an FM Gorilla Radio in your car, man. That's what people did. Let's see, all those innovative windows, that's like when Gates afterwards, you know, later on, right, you know, the beginning of the computer age, although that's later, all these characters that are Abbott and Nutcase, You might recall that, no, they've heard this, unless you're in the advantage of your innovation. We've gone from everybody starting their stuff out of garages, garage, and the micro FM, broad basement, radio man, garage operation, from back during that era where all things that people thought were cool and they wanted and it was really useful, it was fun, it was exciting, and it was all done by little guys. A lot of money and became bigger guys, but there's still that technology, that embracing and actually working with tech. It's a lot more fun when you do it yourself. It's happened mostly with cars. Can you really get under the hood and tweak anything under there? No, not mine. There's a few vehicles, unless you decide to really, you know, catch them, which isn't that hard, by the way. It just sounds like it. Man, modification, it's a big word. You know, a little modification, you can take even many of these newer cars and make them shelf mode, low tech. The only thing is you're going to have to go more, to create even more complication and to make it much easier to destroy the ability without the system. Micro FMs, you definitely want to get involved with them. One of the quickest, easiest ways to put them on my screen broadcast is www.e-onics and then go to other, there'll be a bubble that shows up. Come up online and have some fun and play, Fancy Kids, minimal mixing board, a few other items to make noise, plug in the sound from the micro effect and DJ, and or just let the micro effect roll. If you want to do like local, the high school or anything's going on in town social, you can do that. Castle Broadcasting. And don't forget Rick, it's like you're in the studio with us right there. Oh, you want to touch on 888. The other little item, the pre-deployment of antennas, a handful of insulators, a guy wire, if you wanted to string an antenna and you're doing it fast, antenna guys, you could use any number of things to tensor out string, grab yourself wooden insulators. You can also use any number of glasses, fine, glass of course, some insulators are built, other items that can be Think and look in the environment that you're in. What do you have? Not that can be used to bring tension up so the antenna's not wobbling around. Now you want some tension so that the antenna, because remember what's going to happen is your antenna is moving a lot. Some warble in the wobble when it goes down range. Because you have many different tactical antennas from different construction sites where they throw stuff out. We don't buy anything. But preferably if we're going to leave the steel stress. Now I make a point of you're going on buying those or buying the plastic. plastic ones. Now the plastic ones, some have iron and some do not. And that's something that when you're leaving behind, the glass is a better choice. A lot of people aren't excited about glass. Because it breaks, Martin. It can break. Well, yeah, if you peed it around or you're snapping it or, you know, if you put a toolbox or if it's, you know, down on the ground where everybody else is. But the thing about glass, it's pretty ceramic blasters. They're not very big. It's only about three inches long, about an inch in diameter. You put them in place up, you know, stretched between They're not going to go anywhere. With polymer ones, although they'll last a good time, depending on where they came from nowadays and we can't get in our protection material, breakdown become brittle. It'll actually, if you've seen some of it, it gravelizes. It starts with the outer surface, but it will fracture if and under any conditions, because you won't slip. Variations of the theme. Well, the glass insulators, at least, the big thing is that you have the leads rolled up to the side. They can be secured out of the way. And when you walk up, literally, you need a backpack note. I got more range. You can set up a grid in the sink, off a clean, quick hook squawk, and then disconnect the idea, be in force. When you've got a lot of troops, ex-parties, your pathfinders, your safe. Some people's jobs in the field is nothing but that. To make content in some way. To be like hashes could be anything you can imagine, but that's all they do because they're really, really gay. So just a little trick, little hint to make things work. Good at something and they like doing what puppy run with that ball. What puppy will do a fine job. Anyway, it is Tuesday, grab that cup of coffee, smell... Probably, but I'm gonna get some coffee. Ethiopian coffee, try and find it right now. Yeah, try to find it, seriously. We're eatin' on the Ethiopians and we don't even know it. We haven't even known it. Don't worry, we're gettin' ready to kill the Ethiopians if we aren't already doing it. And so Ethiopian coffee's just kinda dropped off the charts, guys. We're in force, you know, had all these different manufacturers of coffee. And all of a sudden, all the blends are like, whoop! What happened, coffee? going on in South America, did the buyers go out and just grab everything up, throw it on bags, and grind in it. You know, you remember coffee coffee clips? Then they told you we got a new fungus that's going on with the, you know, the coffee bean production. Right now, South America is fighting it, but really taking a chunk out of there. Donkey meat coffee beans! No, wait a minute, that's the Chinese. Oh my god, oh no. You mean to say? that instead of this being Maluca, politically correct, organic, only picked by appropriately preserved slaves in Nicaragua, instead it's slave-owned Somalian coffee! I'll see sandwich too, I'll- Yes, and the Dunk Beetle coffee. Oh my goodness. You know they're getting desperate when they're so bad off that it's really not coffee. What happened to that Ethiopian coffee bean out here? I just- and I'm serious, there's maybe one, two companies that got Ethiopian Sumatran. Somalian, Sukemukrin, you name it, everything else is out there. I have my Ethiopian but others do not know. Oh, save my Ethiopian brothers. Beyond that, again, a couple other reminders here too. We are headed towards already. Well, of course, we always Saturday. This Saturday, this Friday evening, 6 meter and to 10 p.m. time. Friday evening, 6 will be the big round. We're gonna break the two-minute mark for a full wrap-around, a full rebroadcast of multiple tapes. We are going to send out a signal flash alert that's going to go around the whole of the Great Lakes. Now we don't do Lake Ontario, but we're working on that. And if we can, what would really be cool is to be able to shoot the signal from the Toledo area right along the coast with Lake Ontario, swing around the east side, come along the lake, we'd add to the water. The idea is to come around the lakes and perhaps north of Detroit. We've got a couple operators there, we'll see what happens. Now we're going to do the round robin, the hole of the lower and upper peninsula. Then we might do a lake circle and we also want to do a river grid where you go down the St. Lawrence and back would be neat. Down the Mississippi and back would be neat. Down the, you know, take your pick, whatever river, we're going to do a complete... Now with a river rebroadcast you wouldn't be that hard because that's the inline. It's better the farther you can, the more efficient your signal is. But we also want other people to pick the signal up because the objective here is to send out a two pages particular amount of material in a very specific and next broadcast and done. And so it's really a lot of fun and that will be starting on Friday night. It'll be 10 p.m. Friday night Eastern time. Then let's see 9 o'clock Saturday afternoon 9 o'clock Saturday afternoon the overall program where we'll be doing CB and 6 meter packet radio. So that'll be a lot of fun. Anyway, I hear the music! We are going to the bottom of the hour. Hey, I'm gonna grab another cup of that coffee smell. Oh no! I got my cup noise. Anyway, grab that cup of coffee smell. Taste. Oh yeah, there we go. Oh, we'll be back in just a little bit here on the rock. Just communications Tuesday. Come on here for Life Change Tea.

Because what's Night Moves? Yo dude, Night Moves man. Even with the girls man. blah blah blah blah blah blah. Then, okay, in the middle of an album like that, right, and this is what's really, in the middle of an album like that, there's a piece that just make any, I mean, it's, no, it's a great piece of music. I'm not saying it doesn't make, but it's interesting that when you, when you look at the piece and you listen, I mean, you listen to the words and then you, of course, then you read it, it's like, It's out of sync with the rest of the album. You know, kinds of, you know, cool stuff. You know, do you remember? I'll remember way back when, you know, da da da da. But then there's, well, Bob Seger, Night Moves album, and in that you have, now it's like, it's an interesting piece. It's really cool. It really is. It's one of my, it is, to be quite honest, of all of the pieces, I think it's more of a dance piece than any other, okay? But, Let me give you an example, I think I can play this. Here's the intro for Bob Seger's Night Moves. But then, and everything else is the Night Moves thing, and the girls, and the girls, and the girls, and more girls. I mean memorizing and remembering the girls, and the Southern girls. There's these three, where's that girl down here on Main Street, right? And then I go to Papa, cause I talk all about girls, right? Coming to Papa. You got this really great, you know, of course, Silver Bullet band behind Bob Seger, right? And it's pretty cool! And we're gonna come to Papa to get it here. Here we go. Now then all of a sudden, here we are. And out of the blue... anything about Bob Seeker so I don't need to say anymore about that but let me ask you something and I want to point this out for a reason. The old albums you have and start spot-checking the music. 25, you're 30 years older, you're 15 years older and you're gonna find that, well that song kind of passed over I really didn't pay attention to that but it's like music dude says something man, you stupid? Well that's the whole point here guys is that Night Moves album which is all over and over again and several other girls down the street or music mixes for years i used to play night i'd normally would play the startup this time that i'm not exaggerating every time i play this is somebody go on it what it used to be out there all the time that one you know about about the record the edmund fitch terrible you mean the record in the future no one about it like you met what they think and that's how they remember it not as you know ship of fools but it's like well that's the record the edmund fitch terrible song Now think about that. Of all the things the author could do, and it's interesting that Bob Seger did this, as long as it's in the middle of a whole bunch of stuff that is totally unrelated. I mean granted it's cool because you're a fool for those crazy ladies. I don't know, figure out, blah blah blah. There's always the usual mantra that goes out there with all the other angst and everything else. But that's not what this was doing. And this song is a ballad piece. I mean, this song, you can mix in with a whole bunch of other classic pieces like that by different authors going from the 60s to the 70s. Now remember too when Bob Seeker grew up, who he had in the background. So there's a song that you can put in there because it also fits with, man, you know, I told my relatives about what's going on in the country and they all go, yeah, it's bad. Yeah, and then they went, what are you going to do? And they turn five to sinking. Alone. Right? communications tuesday this is part of communicating when you put a music mix together you want to say something all even the authors themselves this is what always got me about this song in fact to be quite honest i played of all the songs on that album that one to me right from the get go impressed anymore and would stick i could affect their the album i have that's more wear on that song than anything else on the album And by the way, I grew up with Bob Seger. My brother, my middle brother, Bob Seger, Seger's brother, and the Millers. Fly like an eagle, dude. The Millers lived over the fence in the next neighborhood. Fly like an eagle. Yeah, those guys. Of course, one of them was kind of in the jail a lot, but hey, once you start playing harder and got more drugs, you got more trouble. But still, he played for a while before he got in too much trouble with the drugs, along with everybody else in that era, as we know. So. Anyway, it's fascinating, it's not like you don't appreciate the musician and the behind, the silver bullet, everybody knew. Everybody, when you hear all these backup bands, understand that guys would shift out and go to another band because they knew each other, and they would play constantly, and they'd even use fake names, they'd change in stage name, and they'd go around and they'd just work with each other because they love playing music, which is really cool. But they also, because they love playing music, they came up with unique stuff. Let me put it this way, which of course usually makes statements especially again what you're a good the guy come from uh... kampetti won't back down now what what we how do we think about that the paper but i think it really had that played at the bottom of the are coming back on back down you can you can back me up to the gates of hell and i won't you know that works if the people fighting song it's a pick you up song okay but the other piece like it's not a reason they so much as a statement you know of ship of fools thing is you know i won't survive the thinking I alone possess the tools. How many people have you talked to, they're like, you know, they act like a box of rocks, until the shipwreck takes place and then they're all dancing around looking for your lifeboat. Well, any lifeboat will do. There are a floating piece of wreckage, but your lifeboat is what they really want, because yours probably is better. Well, actually, wait a minute, they didn't build a lifeboat. So there's a lot of music, and I'm serious, because you know, the reason I brought this up is because the music at the bottom of the hour is from the late 60s and early 70s, a lot of stuff appearing in the morning. you know much stuff there is a side track beyond the the the stuff that we were pumped okay let's remember that most of what you know when you hear the music you're hearing it's like man i remember that okay what album's it off i don't really think about that because it was always on like it was uh... originally it was uh... the four minute version and then they had the like if you don't read your russ guys uh... originally with russians you do the long version sometimes it'd be like that gets long you know i don't know hundred eighty thirty six thirty whatever you know And then all of a sudden you hear it again and they figure they three minute version. That's why this is what's called a studio version and they're engineered so they go within the block so they've got enough time so they can fade down the last of those three or four songs in that block and then go to talk or the advertisement. Frankenstein dials and fade out to get the market going. Well think about this. If you remember that song, what else was on that album? Now some groups are all just like the Anundeju. It's like CCR, Creedence Clearwater. you know, bad moon rising, run through the jungle, you can run through the desert but you cannot hide, the BLM will be chased and we'll take, think about it, and two million guns are aimed and of course you have the whole routine, think of the video you could do with that with the BLM and the Bundy Ranch stand-up in this jungle so we gotta find something with the desert, okay, etc. but you can do it, you see. Now, the reason I want you to do this is if you can find Think about your record collection you might have forgotten about. Go through and listen to the side tracks. That's what they used to be called. Side tracking right here on WRIF! This evening we're gonna be a special request. Starting out with... Pete Boyd working for the St. Jeff's Rotel. And we'll be closing with some... That's right, Black stuff. How many other side tracks are there? What about Rap? One of the song tracks. Side tracks on Paranoid. Oh, am I jogging your memory? About all the other stuff. And it includes jazz. Jazz. It can be... even with country. Do you realize how many songs are on the no play list in country because they're pro-american? It's pretty much anything that's older pro-american and now you got rockability country where it might as well be the easy rock listening from the early 70s. If it's tears in your bears and we're all gonna die then grandma, oh dad and we're dead but if you can't get any uniform and go over there and die for Okay, that's okay. You know, you can get when they need you to apply overseas of the Israelis conceal. Other than that, the older music though, ballad music especially. Oh man, Johnny Horton. Johnny Horton. I've played many of the pieces here before and you know, there's probably the best example of a guy who was prolific because well, what was the window when he was a musician? anniversary, 100th anniversary of the American Civil War guys, American Northern War of Aggression. What most people don't realize is Horton did a whole bunch of rev war and Civil War stuff along with, well let's see, Sink the Bismarck. There's a song he used to hear, you haven't heard it all for quite a while. Battle of New Orleans, the version, the LA-1814 we took a little trip, there you go, you'll recognize that. But what about all the other stuff, the example is like, a massive amount of work that he did. All Ameri- All Pro-American. All American theme. Albums. Not rap, not song. Oh, he did the Bismarck. Yeah. And what else was on that album? Yeah, there's a lot more out there to discover and when you do, you go, dude, this is like deep. Everybody just might want to take the time and do a little discovery. In fact, taking a certain author, you can do this with YouTube, cheapest and easy problem. just think all the fun stuff you might find out there guys looking for theme music broken for music inspire the troops are looking for stuff that american have to go far we can take it right out of the enemy stamp and turn it on a pre-nineteen seventy three protest rock that's why most of it you don't stop about the rides in detroit anybody remember those and of course all high always well it's like so dead relate to that because well the government's pretty well like that across the board now don't worry uh... it's not just nixon of course i was get that nixon thing out there nixon nixon watergate nixon well we got a piece of trash in the outhouse ghostly irrelevant shadow now think about it so uses going where are the top of the hour going to hear the music here in a minute and i would have grabbed that dark roast coffee from god knows where up this morning way out there on the left coast. You all be careful headed to work. Remember to drive offensively. The objective is to get around the aggressor. Work on to where you need to be as far as, you know, get into the job when you come home. Same thing. The critters out there that don't pretty well make it work for us. How are you and the people you're trying to bring up and online? Don't forget to let them know about the microeffect.com. The microeffect.com. The effect.com. We should be hearing the music any time now. And if we aren't, I'll betcha I can find some really nice beer candy for everybody here. Comes in a minute, cause we are at the top of the hour. Victory for our boys on the Malabar front. What about our boys in Malabar? Malabar, did you? 888-747-1968-47-1968 And we have the music in the background. Come on, take a chance. God bless the republic, death of the new or or, we shall prevail. The emperors on the run, where to march? We're gonna go to some music here, night-way.
