The spirituality of transmitters.

[Bughuggger]

Transmitters emit a tremendous power only in an outward direction. This is
often reflected in the voices of radio personalities who are only poignant and
potent, it seems. Yet everyone who drives a car listens to these and makes
comparisons between themselves and radio personalities. I think this is mainly
unhealthy. It creates in the healthy person a need to be withdrawn and
unpotent. If the entire potent energy of man were limited, I fear that a large
degree of this potency would be perpetrated by the radio transmitter and little
respect would be had for an average man's potency in life. What do you think?
After all, times were different before the advent of the radio transmitter.

The sea gets bigger, the fish feel smaller. Interesting sociological,
psychological or anthropological question, but bugger all to do with
electronics design.

Years and years ago, I had a roommate who was not only a DJ but the music
director of the radio station where he worked. (a top-40 rock station, as
they were known in the early '70s). He had a night-time show, and I
sometimes hung out there to keep him company and because I was interested in
how things worked. Since he was the only employee present during these
hours, he had to constantly check and record various "gages" to determine if
things were working right per FCC regulations.

I was rather amazed the first time I watched him work. It was like he turned
into another person, his radio persona, which included gestures, facial
expressions, etc., which of course couldn't be seen, but was apparently
required to project this radio voice. He was a master of his craft, and
later went on to become a manager of bands and a producer of records.

I listened to this radio station whether my friend was the DJ or not and I
was there or not. The other DJs projected a similar voice as my friend.

Was I made to feel inferior, withdrawn, or (sic) "unpotent." Of course not.
Why would I? Do I feel inferior when watching a football game and seeing
players perform actions that I could not? Of course not. Why would I? I am
not a radio DJ or football player, so why should watching/listening to such
make me feel inferior? I find no logic is your suggestion.

If this happens to you, I suggest you seek help. Something is wrong with
you.

ah but beer has everything to do with electronics design, from your recent

One day I will get the courage up to fly overseas and try it first hand.

I think most people everywhere drink pissy beer. You're not about to
tell me Aussies on the whole drink some delicious high-quality brew
are you? I know most people in England drink pissy lager most of the
time. I think it's just the corporate piss beers that get exported in
large quantities, so we get "Australian" XXXX and Foster's and
"American" Bud and Miller. All brewed over here of course. No doubt
the selection of English beers abroad is pretty awful too, even though
there are ooodles of tasty brews available here - mostly made by
smaller breweries. I hear American microbreweries make some nice
beers, though I've never tried one.

Or do you just mean they don't seem to drink bitter or stout like real
men?

This is not what I mean. To make a personal issue of it would be shared with
only people I know that way. Consider any physiological system, and even any
electronic cybernetics, and you find that when something goes too far one way,
it changes direction to balance it off. Thus I may suspect that the radio has
stolen or potency by making us potent in a fashion of a transmitter while we're
listening, and then we react by being less potent in life.
