Well Mondays show started slow, but over the weekend, I got a lot of feedback from people who have been listening. As it always seems to happen with pirates we never know who is out there listening, and how many people actually do listen, but if last Fridays night out on the town was any indication, the station is getting huge..Again. Got another email today from a reporter from the Resonance magazine who wants to do a story on Pirate Radio, I am not sure if they wants to focus on iron action or will it be a general article covering the movement of pirate radio today. Well we will see..The magazine is a good one, and considering the amount of press received this past month, this article could really propel the station into pirate history.
As I end the show tonight, I learned a lot again, more about the professional mic I have and the new mixer. I want to add some pictures tomorrow of the station, and plan out a remote broadcast that will happen later this week..

Winding up the show tonight, going on 2am, had a few good emails of supporters, and new listeners, tonight I read many new articles that were branches off te journal news article that came out last week, apparently the one guy from www.mediageek.org thinks that it was foolish idea to have an article about the pirate station, that its not the right thing to do to if your going to be a "clandestine station". I always thought that cladestine stations were very cool, just because for there name. But in those terms that envision a cladestine station to be one that is running a station ..Well here is a good explanation that I found off the net that can describe one better then I can..

"Clandestine broadcasting is a highly effective weapon in the arsenal of psychological warfare, which, when analyzed, can assist observers to cut through the fog of war and ascertain the strength and capabilities of opposition groups as well as actual on-the-ground military strategies"

well I can tell you tonight I thought a lot about the purpose of this station and the risks I am taking, is it worth the fight, Yes..The goal here is not to be clandestine, and secret, but its to have the station be a focal point for the community of nyack, something this community does not have or will not have, based on the FCC frequency regulations. Hey 102.5fm is not used, its static, but because of the closeness of other frequencies, no station will ever be licensed here. What I am doing is a service to the community, it does not step on any feet, I do not hijack any stations freq, steal any listeners. well as you can see it is late again, how long can I keep it up, I been up most of the night for the last 2 weeks, maybe when I do get busted, I will be able to get some sleep. Started filming the 3rd part in the series of films about the pirate radio show, I expect it to be the best one, how can I say that when 3 havent even been completed yet, well, I have a feeling this next month we will have alot of new material to use in explicting the life and times of 102.5fm www.primitivemanhand.com

here are some article I found on the web about the station.

sorry abou the spelling, to lazy to check it now and to tired

goodnight everyone

wow, on the air tonight its about 1 week since the article came out, the story is catching on, and i am finding storys about the station even on some film sites. The one article was put out from some guy named paul on the mediageek.org. seems like this guy has been following the radio for some time, and the article was entertaining, if not that original. i got an upgrade on the mixer and a new mic, i have alot of things to discuss, and will follow up with following post later tonight, mostly discussing the issue with the radio show and the FCC.. time to change the Dj's on here.

Wednesday show was off the hook, the journal nws was here sitting in on the show,taking pictures and inerviewing friends of the show, it was definitely a good show, lori and Carrie of the superstar side show stopped by to debut there single "Scientist" at one point there was 4 request one after another, for the that song..

So the Big Article will be in the Journal news Saturday Jan 8th, it could be an interesting week following with the amount of new listeners that might tune in, and the bigger chance of being shut down now, it was kind of a bold move to be on the front page doing an illegal activity. But that's the risk you gotta take.. I might broadcast live from the Hudson house sat night..That will be the first remote broadcast, and will be stream of the web too..BIG BIG week


started the show right on time 9pm, and everything is going smooth, going to decide if I want to document the songs I am playing.. More to come

one the air its 8:36 and my first song of the year was Superhero by janes addiction, and Mouth by Bush is just finishing up here, i am blogging this real time, and look forward to my first email
