Hit up the WebSDR of the University of Twente, and on the weekends in the morning (european time) you can hear a lot of AM pirate radio stations on medium wave between 1600 and 1700kHz, and between 6300 and 6500kHz.

http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

They aren't that cool to me though, most just play dutch and german folk music. There used to be one - Westcoast - who broadcasted pretty awesome music between 3800 and 4000kHz, but at a certain point in time he became a nuisance to the British or Irish air traffic control who have a HF freqency in that area, and the Dutch authorities got him off the air.
He got to keep his transmitters and stuff, on the condition he got his radio amateur license and never pirated again. He - obviously - also got fined. As far as i'm aware, he stuck to the deal.

You can also listen in to Gander transatlantic air traffic control on various frequencies. Reception is not the best because Gander's antennas are pointed exactly the wrong way for reception in the Netherlands on the ground. There's no local receiver that i'm aware of, because Ireland and the UK all seem to have laws that make it illegal to listen into transmissions that aren't explicitely meant for you. The Netherlands don't have such laws. You can tune into any unencrypted govt frequency you want!

Funny you should mention this (air traffic radio). I've been interested in picking up an old rear end antique radio and a lot of them have not just AM radio reception but also short and long wave bands as well. Some have specific frequencies listed of as "Police", "Airlines" and so on. Also some frequencies are marks on there as the "frequencies for cities" like Paris, London, Tokyo, Moscow etc...

Animals is the most underrated album. But like fuckin nobody gives a poo poo about AHM. Even though the title track and Summer '68 are dope as gently caress.

oh god is PFCO affiliated with the old #PinkFloyd&Co IRC crowd, Sandy and Joe? Good lord is that ever a saga.

As far as bootlegs, uh....my collection is a smidge embarassing and probably shouldn't be mentioned in polite company. Happily the old CDR-tree/vine system is obsolete.

Holy gently caress is all that your collection? Looks like the Pink Floyd ROIO database.

I always liked AHM, but I never listened to it much besides the title track (makes me feel sophisticated) and Summer '68.

Me and a couple guys I was "internet friends" with used to do a bit of trolling on the pf&co boards like 20+ years ago. It was hilarious not giving a gently caress.

I used to poo poo post at the Neptune PF boards too (with my two internet friends). It was fun, loving with the owner there. He seemed like a pretty good dude though, and the boards seemed well run compared to some of the other places around. He had a good sense of humour about my poo poo posting for the most part.

Some of the other boards fuckin S*U*C*K*S though.

E: Did they ever play AHM suite live? I seem to recall reading in the PF encyclopedia that that was one of those songs that never got performed live by them.

My fave exchange on the matter was when someone on usenet pointed out that Gilmour's plane was completely unsuitable for transatlantic flight, much less straight to Florida.
Sandy: with his resources, do you seriously think he hasn't made modifications? :)
Some Dude: of course he did, he added a fridge.


HAHA!!
I remember a "fan" years ago made up some fake journal entries for him (possibly other members too), all of them started with "woke up this morning ate a HUGE breakfast...."

One of my "internet friends" that I mentioned a few posts ago trolled the poo poo out of PF&CO really bad way back then and got like super ultra mega permabanned from their forums.

I wonder if they would remember if his user name just happened to get brought up again?

E: I guess they got rid of the site. Its now being maintained as an archive by Keith from NPF.

I'm probably old enough I can't actually hear that frequency any more but I can totally hear that distinctive CRT hum.

I could always hear that too.
I remember walking in to a classroom one time and the tv was on, but there was no video playing so the screen was blank. Told the teacher the tv was on, he was all like "uhhhhh no its not" so I went over, hit the button, the screen flashed and went "power off" or something like that, and he seemed astounded that I knew it was on.

They had those toll funnel things in NY State on most of the highways that I've been on through there.
Haven't seen them in years, but I haven;t been to Americastan in years either.

Speaking of Laser Discs, when I was in grade 10 English class, circa 1994 ish, I recall an assignment where the teacher had us write some poo poo about where "future you" will be living, working etc..

So part of my essay was like "house, job doing whatever the gently caress I wanted to be at the time, whatever car I thought happened to be the coolest at the time (obviously) giant screen tv and LASER DISC PLAYER".

Civilization II would play some (usually wrong) sound from the CD-ROM like once every 10 hours. But if I played it with the Interstate 76 disc in the drive, it would toot out funky tunes all the time while I was nuking everyone. Weird.

I've had the installed on my new (probably like 10 years old actually) laptop forever, and just recently found the disc for it.
The disc won't play in the CD-R drive :(

I always liked it when the war guy would tell me to gently caress other peoples poo poo up.

Birds aren't real. The cia killed them all in the 50s and replaced them with robot birds. They sit on wires to recharge their batteries and when they fly south for the winter, it's actually to area 51 to get maintenance, clear hard drives, reprogram etc ..

It's not difficult now that we've done it. But it took over a hundred years of innovation to get cars where they are now. Research leads to discovery which leads to improving processes. A few decades ago you'd say it's impossible to do what they are doing now, and here they are, doing it.
To where they are today, but how long did it take to make a car faster then a horse? A decade or two?

I bet if you brought up his name to them they'd have a breakdown or something.
