The List keeps growing and we keep going

I’m always amazed at how much we are growing here at HazzardAyre Radio. What started out as a mere smidgen of an idea in 2010 has grown into nearly a full entity of its own.

But it was only two years ago when we finally got the correct instruction of how to go to a stream, rather than just meandering over Terrestrial radio. Terrestrial radio is not bad, it gets to the spear point, but if your one of our Warriors member on duty on station half way around the world, your not going to be able to tune in as you would on a world wide streaming service like we have now.

So that you know where to find us.

Here’s a list.

Another show done, now ready for bed, yea right?

Another AyreWolf Radio show done and aired. Took long enough. Had a malfunction in the inline settings, on ye ole computer, but some on the fly engineering and it seems to work okay, I feel proud of myself when I can figure these things out. There just are times, when you need to use your cranium a bit, to get things done. You get to a point where you know there isn’t anyone you can call mid early morning, things go ary and you just have to get your cranium fluids flowing then your okay.

Weather here has been really wet, despite the fact that its only raining on the desert mountain floor, up in the Higher Uinta mountains and one peak at 9000 feet above sea level, where as Brian and I were working in our transmitter shack, it decided to snow. The freezing drizzle getting up there made the venture tricky but we’re getting closer to launching the radio station over the air in two months, so its getting exciting.

Still haven’t heard from Infogenix or anybody on building the stations web site and all that goes with it, but got in touch with the friendly folks, that rebuilt Beth Ann of CsC Talk Radio’s site and did the streaming set up, so hope to have it all together for the launch in August. Our FM will be banging on the doors and from the dash boards of truck cabs at a whopping 250k watts, our AM will be knocking as loud at 25k from here which means a bunch of prep work and good hiring.

The latter remains a mystery, one applicant suggested raising the bar, which I would if we could just get someone in the studio that’s worth it. So far that hasn’t happened. It’s one thing to get applicant requests for more exploration on the matter, by email and such, but no phone call, and not being already local to just walk in and do edgy , racy, total off the wall fight the system radio is tough. More over if your looking for a female sidekick. It makes for very long days, but at least we’re getting there. Shows are airing on Livestream for now, so hey we are on the way again.

What drove me back to radio

When I start having days like today where technical problems with equipment, where I’m in such a place without resources for replacement parts, I think my where did the days of just plain good old fashioned trucking and towing with the wind in my hair, out in the expanses of the Mountain West go? Then I remember that one early morning just outside of the town of Spencer Idaho. That was the trip that had me crapping my britches and doing mucho praying.

The trip didn’t start any different, and had we been loaded it wouldn’t have been as bad. But up to Wisdom Montana just over the Idaho/Montana border, we went. When we started seeing freezing drizzle in Salmon Idaho, after eating a good meal, when I say we I mean 3 trucks that were owned by Circle 4 Cattle Company of Jerome/Gooding Idaho. There was myself, Stuttering Mel, YellowJacket and RoyBear. As we started up that fearsome two mile highway with switchbacks that would make a snake jealous it decided to snow. And I MEAN SNOW, like 2-1/2 to 3 inches an hour. Even with chains it was a go a bit, back down and thrust again. By the time we reached the town of Spencer, after blowing out the diaphragm of the injector on Mel and I’s truck, getting stuck 6 times loading, we pulled into a LDS church parking lot on a Saturday night no less, knowing that church members would be there by 9:00AM, it was on that morning, with the truck idling to keep warm, on a lonely AM radio in that old Peterbilt, there came the soothing sounds of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I then thought how can I bring this to the working trucker? I then fell back into the mindset of building the ultimate truckers radio network, throughout the Mountain West to bring Heavenly Father and the teachings of Jesus Christ into the cabs of working truckers everywhere in our region. Not on one big watt station that had its problems of fading in and out, but on stragically placed small 20,000 watt or less AM and FM stations where able . So just shy of things breaking Hazzard County, I met with the then RoadMasters Association members, aka now the Rode Knytes Association, and the Long Haul Trucker Radio Network, was born. After the Hazzard County thing and just after the Highway Hooker Radio Network branched out The Dixie Diesel Trucker Network brought the sounds of God, and Jesus along with southern bred rebel born fight the system into thousands of truck cabs across the region. The original founding sponsor of the network was Long Haul Jeans company, the other one and don’t ask why, but the second big sponsor was Leggs Hosiery Company.

That’s how I got back into radio, but there are days like today that I’d love to just fire up a rig and just go truck it.

HazzardAyre is the next phaze of Dixie Diesel in fact the mothership now of Dixie Diesel/Maximum Overdrive Radio.

Getting the word out about getting the words and music out

Getting the word out about getting the words and music of HazzardAyre Radio out.

It takes a lot to rebuild. Even if you were once the hottest ticket on standard airwaves and online it takes your best efforts just to stay current. But then came the idiotic concept of moving things from Woods Cross Utah where we hotter than a Saturday night special, to going colder than Jack Frosts testicles here in Evanston Wyoming. The coldness started when one in fact the only line of site wireless Internet provider service NGL, lets us on in December, and even when I had paid the bill because I complimented one of the lady clerks there on how poised and efficient she was, they decided to unplug me. So it took until March just to get the equipment back, get on AllWest and get back on some sort of airings. Then came a storm that took out the big stick on the Mountain for us and it took a bit to get us back on the terrestrial airwaves. So any mile. There’s quite a few that don’t even know we are back up, and so this involves spending some extra cash out of the stash to get us in gear here. Over the next few months you’ll hear ads on such places as CsC Talk Radio, you’ll see ads on FoX 13 News in the morning, METV and other outlets which is why we have been trying to find some snazzy skirts in hose and heels to tell you where to find the best online radio for those that groove to 6 and 18 wheels. But some folks think that I need to find a personal SheWolf here, let me inform those that are working with a stripped timing chain. If I needed to get laid that bad, my LiL truck, even with a slight oil leak, two tanks of fuel and $400.00 and I’m in Wells Nevada at the Sugar Shack. For the none queer male corpuscles needing what we do for you overnight as you move the loads and those who tow on that open road, getting a local gal to pitch the gig, on those TV ads, and trade and enthusiasts magazines will be quite keen. And to have her be a local gal from here in or near Evanston would be so dear.

Rebuilding HazzardAyre back into the power house we once was is going to take time, but its happening. BTW, we are going to be going to a new service, and leaving Livestream in August. A service that supplies the streaming for CsC Talk Radio can do it quite affordably, so be watching for the news on that groove real soon.

We’ll be off air until Saturday at noon, on there we’ll be back Saturday at 13:00 with Highway Hooker Radio the only show on radio for us who tow, at www.livestream.com/highwayhookerradio and Saturday evening we’ll be on www.livestream.com/ayrewolffm and then back on Sunday morning at www.livestream.com/hazzardayre with HazzardAyre Radio. Samcro Radio will be on Sunday evening starting at 18:00 at www.livestream.com/samcroradio . It’s all a rebuild and reboot. But its getting there.

Romantic dreamy nytes

A grand morning as we wrap up another HazzardAyre Live on KDXL AM 1240 .

I was remembering back to another morning pretty much like this early morning at 02:26 hours, we tell time Marine style okay? Get over it. Any flyte, so I was working our original station run, and I remember walking out on the cement porch in front of our studios there in Hazzard, Idaho and while this may not seem romantic to you, the glow from old Sandy’s Dairy, the aroma of those old go-go girls dripping milk into those big buckets, the smells of fresh cut alphalpha and silage, the whole night was absolutely amazing. There, in that time and space its just a crystal clear dark blue purple sky, those small sparkly beams of light so many light miles from our tiny third rock from a solar sun, and the humm of those 18 wheels out on old Highway U.S. 30 the burble of Hazzard Creek, the bullfrogs mating , its just a romantic night.

Those that have never been to our REAL HAZZARD, are missing something very relaxing and at the same time rejuvenating of body mind and yes even soul.

No stress , no big deal except considering how fast I could haul my cookies to Twin to get my weekly pay out of the ATM at then Key Bank there, and to IHOP for breakfast.

It’s not that destination but the drive over. Out in the middle of our shine running kountry which we and I’ll admit it we did on a regular basis. There’s just something magic of that truly Magic Valley, and I sure do miss it. But circumstances being what they are right now, can’t go back at least just not yet. Even if I could, that house in Hazzard houses other people, outside of Ricky and the A1 crew including Jared and Charlie, There’s no real family there any more, so while romantic and all that living there again would be, I’m closer now to my kin folk now than I have been in quite some time, but my do I miss Hazzard.

Hazzard is not just a place of real estate, it’s a place in the heart. It’s in your soul, and for relaxing techniques I kick back close my eyes, and just fade away to those memories of yesteryear, there.

As I close for this morning and head for my bed that I’d love to remain in, until 11:30 Hours, We tried to upload to our LiveStream feed, but low bandwidth, and weather prevented that but at least we delivered over terrestrial radio any way.

This is not a Cookie Cutter gig

The one thing HazzardAyre isn’t, is cookie cutter or another copy of some distant memory of some distant time of radio. In fact one of the things that makes our critics and others so upset is they can’t catorgize us. We’re not AC, we’re no talk, we’re not disco, rock nor anything that can put in a tiny corner and say this is them. We’re all over the place, music as well as style. So We suggest a new pigeon hole for them, we are simply Rebel Confederate Radio. Period. That just about sums it up. We are full throttle, fight the system radio.

But how long we’ll be in grand old Evanston is still up in the air, which is what I tried to explain countless times to our sweet sugar babe at CenturyLink. It’s not for the lack of the cause, its for the lack of finding, albeit 90% female in studio co anchors or hosts if you will here in Evanston. Not That Twin Falls or immediate area or even big city Salt Lake City was any picinic , but at least we’d get SOMEBODY in a skirt and hose and heels to show up. Here? Nothing. So to you Daniela , it might be a bit premature to file any paperwork with your company CenturyLink, it might be better if ya’ll waited a month or so. Reason we just might have to relocate this gig back into the mothership in Burley or Twin Falls Idaho.

Last night got a bit of a up lift from a gal in Colorado or wherever the 303 area code is. Seemed groovy enough, but I think she might be a bit too shy for HazzardAyre, SAMCRO RADIO, Maximum Overdrive or Highway Hooker Radio. As far as AyreWolfFM ? I’m leaving that open for a freshly discharged Marine lady to fill that co host(Anchor) spot. Preferably an Marine Aviator(PILOT).

Wrapping this up. I watched the final monolog of David Letterman’s show. For me and this might be a bit harsh, but thank goodness for us your gone Dave. I never really got into that show. I’ve only watched it all the way through 4 times in the time he’s been on the air. The ones with Katy Perry, The one with Howard Stern. One with Blonde and the one with Pink Floyd. The rest of it I couldn’t give a rats butt for. The only reason and I know this from the person himself, that Stern did Letterman was in protest with and about his treatment at WNBC NYC. Past that he didn’t care much for old and I mean OLD Dave.

See you all in the afternoon, I’m now going on our local air here in Wyoming.

The intimacy of radio

I’m always surprised to see the responses, the few that there are to our on air co-anchor openings here at HazzardAyre Radio. I always wonder if I put in our wording of the ads , Southern bred biker kountry gal needed to co-host(Anchor) radical, rebel radio show. Maybe that would clear up the confusion. Maybe then and most likely only then would we get people walking in with the aptitude as well as attitude as well as extraverted personality to be in a 10X10 studio for 6 long hours of off the wall full throttle radio. Yet a few read the ad, look up grand old Evanston and think tiny town and a medium market. Thing is few realize going on the air with me, means a wide array of potential future opportunities either in our broadcast area as well as others, and many while they try to copy HazzardAyre, never quite duplicate it. Never will we be way over the top, never will I be as smutty as Stern, I’m more of a kountry fied high octane tow trucker turned radio person.

Some ask how the two really go together. I simply say in reply, that much of what is now HazzardAyre really started on a 50 watt LPFM, just outside of the small town of Hagerman Idaho in 1975. Shortly after the roots of the Knytes were in its infancy, the frustration of that all too many long haul truckers had radio shows and such for them, but us in towing had no real radio or media voice except for a few trade magazines. So in 1984 after becoming legal, the original call letter KTOW or KAY TOW FM 105.7 went on the air. The focal show was named after my towing company Highway Hooker Toewing, we combined the two words TOW and TOE on purpose. Reason being even legendary radio people doing us liners and intros , never could pronounce right the word TOW. They always pronounced it like COW, not TOE. So out of frustration an intern of mine said just scrunch the words together. Okay, in 2012 we had to sell the call letters to another station in Colorado. And we went on the air with KDXC or KAY, DIX, C(see) . Which we still run on today in Idaho, here in Wyoming there’s new call letters but I don’t usually utter those on the blog, only on the air. After we started doing Highway Hooker Radio, there came a show aimed at the heavy duty tow jocks out there, and so Heavy Hooker Radio was born. Not only did the tow truckers dig on what we were doing so did the over the road truckers. So in 1991 we launched Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio, and just made Heavy Hooker Radio part of that. It was much easier to publicize Dixie Diesel than most things Hooker as not everybody gets the connection between a lady of the night and the cb slang term for tow truck. I’m not the only one that brought this up and use it an example>others have too. Getting back on course. In 1981 the Hazzard thing bit me and bit me hard. While we touring our General Lee Dodge Charger, about the 2nd night at the all inclusive Salt Lake City AutoRama I conceded that I did not look like Bo or Luke Duke nor did my side kick, but I did resemble very closely the small town tow trucker of Hazzard County Crazy Cooter , hey you be the judge even looking at us now>So rather than go ape stuff over ye ole General I figured why not exploit the Hazzard County Garage thing and build the ultimate super toew truck of ye ole Cooter, hence LexiBelle>so that’s that on that.

So the Intimacy of radio. Radio is very intimate. Your inside a small box under the pillow, inside the truck cab, in your wives bedrooms, showers and whew, pee ewe even the restroom. Your where ever your listener may happen to be. For me it’s the one time I can truly be me. I’m not towing, or romancing farmers in a helicopter spraying their fields. I’m inside my control room studio, all cuddled up with many of you relating anything and everything that comes to mind from relationship advice to questions of sexual healing to the latest 411 on the trucking and towing industries. This kind of intimacy scares the crap out of most female co anchors, after all few are Robin Quivers of Howard Stern fame, I’ve only had two that I really flowed with. One was my Robin in Rupert in 1992 and Erin our Nurse GoodBody, on our station in Gooding Idaho. Robin went on to be a network exec at NBC Radio and the other is a PSR Head shrink in Twin Falls. I still keep in touch with both. Few will do this>or this>or even this>but to have a comedic side kick in the studio would be great that didn’t have the frustrating super reserved attitude.

In closing, we’ll not be on air again tonight at least LIVE locally and not on Livestream, as I’m still working on the tragedy that took ten of our MC’s members in that battle in Waco Texas over the weekend. I’ll be on though Thursday night into Friday morning.
