RADIO SAYINGS
Amateur Radio: The first technology-based social network
Be Cool... DX Naked
Being a famous print journalist is like being the best-dressed woman on
radio
Beverages, More Than A Drink
Broadcasting with TEN MILLION microwatts of POWER!
Come Fill Your Thirsty Ears
DC To Daylight, DX It All
During the day I dress up like a radio announcer
DX'ers get a better reception
DXing is 97% Propagation 3% Perspiration
Every DX'ers Dream....The Immaculate Reception
George is a radio announcer, and when he walks under a bridge... you
can't hear him talk
Get more fire in the wire. Or get the wire up higher!
If It's Too Loud, You Are Too Old!!
If while testing a tube, you drop it and it breaks, it "was" good!
It's like NPR with more commercials
Left Wing Radio. If this doesn't work, we're trying the wireless
telegraph next!
Liberal Radio -- Soon to be taxpayer-supported!
Love doesn't drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals,
sort of like an amateur radio operator
Lowfers Are Not Lazy DX'ers
Medium Wave DX'ers Have Longer Wires
More static, more of the time
Music for adults who never grow up
QSY to Seventy Centipedes
Radio is better than TV, the pictures are so much clearer.
Radio is the theater of the mind; television is the theater of the mindless
Radio...Because Some Pictures Need a Thousand Words
Radio...Come Hear the Big Picture
Radio...Furniture that talks
Radio Lib -- You thought you could hide this 'radio' thing from us
forever, huh?
Real Radios Glow In The Dark
Remember, On A Clear Day You Can Hear Forever
Remember, On Any Night You Can Hear Beyond Forever
Ride the Radio Waves
S W L... Silly Wave Listener
S W L's Do It With Frequency
Television: chewing gum for the eyes
Television: A medium - so called because it is neither rare nor well done
The following program is close captioned for the thinking impaired
The World at Your Finger Tips
Towers Get Me High
We play what we like and nothing else
Why did I Learn MORSE ???? I only did it coz me da-da did it
You can hear them through the Talk but not the Rock
