HazzardAyre Becomes a star in a troubled era

Some out in bytch land have been saying things about HazzardAyre that it was just a accident. Not so. HazzardAyre's roots are so well rooted that it's a miracle to all of us that have been the cultivators of it since we planted the seeds that have grown into this bumper crop we call HazzardAyre Radio. However credit must be gave to many of the supporting cast, and those that give the seeds the fertilizer it needed to grow. 
There is a big difference between a syndicated radio show and a full on online, on demand network, even if it is a niche in a given market. Or a niche in radio. HazzardAyre's roots started in 2001 when after moving to Layton Utah with Dixie-Deere Racing's driver and pit boss, a few of the air crew of the AyreWolvez, and a few barley pops, the idea of taking what was great about Armed Forces Radio, and honoring military aviators off of AFRN, and putting it on, over the air radio. So in searching out suitable licensable call letters we discovered WolfFM.com , thought was this could be groovy and a way to get us heard across the nation, not just metro-Utah or rural Idaho. So over time AyreWolfFM was conceived, and in 2003 launched. Soon after the collapse of the club's major funding occured. When it did, we were wondering, now what? Not to be done for, I moved back to Idaho after some creative and personeel conflicts both here then in 2006 with Tammy Hunt, and a greedy sales jerk. After that I moved twice, once to Pocatello, Idaho. Where I signed up for Vision12 aka Pocatello's cable access TV channel. We took what we did on air on radio and put it on TV, to at first a limited audience, expanding to the first time in its history that Vision12 became rated in area media ratings services. Understand I went in to do a hours worth of historical bit on military aviation, once past that extending into things Hazzard County, I was doing 5 hours a week or the equal to one hour a day all 5 days a week there. All of a sudden Hazzard County TV(Radio) was a contender. Then I found an ad for a defunct nuclear power plant to be built near Mountain Home Idaho. Needing income I moved to Glenn's Ferry Idaho. No job, but an okay place to live. At that point had no idea of getting back into radio or media. But a need arose so I dove back in. A few part time runs at then KBOI 670 out of Boise, thought was lets do Dixie Diesel Radio again. So my immediate production staff put on our thinking cap and bought equipment and we started that back up. It was the election year of 2008, the Confederate National Party and an acting rep for the Son's of Confederate Veterans got the Knytes involved, so as a result, the CNP was now a independent political party to which someone could get elected to office. At the end of 2008, shortly after the elections, the bottom fell out from under speculative real estate, ventures and the landlord lost his loan on the place I had been living in. Bottom line it was move time. So I moved to Gooding Idaho. A sweet lady who was hooked up with a ANG soldier next door, and I became long good friends. Through her and a loan of her wifi, we started back in with AyreWolfFM. Until I found that cousin Bud, didn't dig on the high cost of me residing where I did, but I was not going to loose, what we had started to being built. So I moved the radio gig into an office 7 blocks from where I resided there. Guess what? The US Post Office there, they said could not find where I was at, thing is it was the same letter carrier who served where I lived. But lost ALL of my mail, including the checks from the club and Bud to pay the damn rent on the office/studio. However what occured there was true magic. I got to meet and work with, two great ladies , Erin, and Emme Lee. We created award winning radio, and was kicking ass throughout the syndicated radio world, as well as Satellite radio. If the jackass that rented us that office wouldn't have upset the apple cart, we would have been knocking down $200k a week. But oh well. Gear confiscated I pretty much gave it all up, until I leap frogged through Bliss Idaho to Buhl, Idaho. While this is getting long in the tooth, I was one night thinking of how to merge Hazzard County Radio with AyreWolfFM, when the name hit me like a bolt of lightning. I stood up in bed, HazzardAyre. By this time a cat named Matt out in DC had harvested what we were doing on AyreWolfFM , into Warbird Radio. I tried several times to get him to get together with us, but he shoved us into the ignore corner. But HazzardAyre kept growing, and by the time I got to that place, of Charlie's in Twin Falls Idaho, I was looking to how to grow HazzardAyre even more. Like the saying goes, if a idea does not grow it dies. So through a CraigsList ad, a engineer out of Lake Tahoe Nevada, got involved, got us involved with Livestream.com and couldn't be happier. Now with just weeks left, to refire the network into a over the air station here in Evanston Wyoming, the need to find , train and hire on air talent, put together the website and all is vital. But thing is HazzardAyre Radio, is and has become a vision, that became light.

For Beaver Dick and all our Hecklers. Want to really support the UCSA? contribute serious money, not just follow or not just lip service

To the jerk from somewhere here in Evansgone Wyoming, that loves to heckle me on one of our online radio sites, and to quite a few others that love to turn up their noses at me and the club. I'd like to see YOU put in the hours, researching music, producing programming, selling advertising, and all the rest that goes into producing our shows, and maintaining our radio network, that I do, and do it all not for one red penny. I don't make a single copper piece for doing what I do on HazzardAyre, RodeWolfFM and the others, not nothing except the compliments I get from those that love what I'm doing for the honor and liberty of our Dixie. Not one thing more and nothing less. Yet you'll get some dirt faced, Northern Yankee that has to throw mud in my face. Hey instead of bitching, why not drive out here to the Wolf's Lair, and put in a few hours on air, or how about YOU going up to the transmitter site at 3:00AM in the bitter cold, and 40 mph winds. Let's see you go out and sell the air time, or battle with our network hub in NYC, then you'll have a right to say I'm not dedicated, and that I'm lazy, but until then, shut the hell up. This relates to my main topic here. I looked at the UCSA's Facebook Page, as well as the groups. We have 600 people saying they support us, but do you really? If you love something, you sacrifice and forgo, a pleasure or a night out, or a pack or two of smokes, a week and put it in a money order or a check, and support the cause. I think its great that people look at the pics, and read the articles, fine educate yourself on the real situation of the Confederate cause and our modern confederacy , but the way you really show support, put you money where your computer keyboard is. I'm tired of all the lip, or keyboard service, I want to see contributions going into the Knytes' cash stash so we can produce video to send to such media outlets like FoX News Channel, to such great people like Beth Ann doing her service in airing CSC Talk Radio, So we can not only advertise there but in major news publications, such as the Washington Post, New York Times, and on MSNBC, CNN , and other such. As well as to support such efforts as Dixie Broadcasting . com, as well as HazzardAyre and RodeWolfFM, on Livestream.com the list goes on , but I think you get the idea. It's great YOU say you support us and our efforts, now show it, put some cash in our stash so we can truly stand our ground. The liberty you help to protect, might just be your own.

HazzardAyre will be on air this afternoon starting at 4:00PM.

Redneck Sunday edition, can you pass the Goody's Headache Powder Please?

In a world where you would think ancient technology and old skool tools would be available, its missing, and can't be found, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
First, couldn't withdraw money from my account via the Wells Fargo, ATM, until 10:00AM, so no dough to go to to church due to low fuel supply. So rolled home, got in bed and slept until 2:00PM(14:00). Needing feed and with nothing in town to snag food from, went to the Legal. Got there only to find no Lexi there, oh well so went into the resturant side of the facility, and grabbed a Johnny Tightlips Steak, and two drafts. Didn't figure on two drafts knocking me in the head as fast or as bad as it did, but hey good food. The fact that there is really little if anything in Evanston on a Sunday, to grab grub at least a sit down all you can eat buffay, (You spell it Buffet , I spell it my way). Which is churning in the minds of the club. Instead of a bar in town, why not a great none alky bar and grill ?
Hello, Cooter's Grill & Bar, all Hazzard County all the time. So am meeting with our land gal pal Pam, to get her looking where such could be housed.
So Got done with eating , went out to the shop, thinking that I could get a project done, its really warmer than it looks outside. So found my drill, broken bit, but since my old skool drill requires a chuck key, I'm stopped. So go to WalMart, guess what? No old skool chuck key for a drill. So gotta wait until Monday, to go to Murdoucks here, to buy(hopefully) a chuck key for my drill. Its too damn bad that our city leaders of Evanston, thumbed their noses at both Tractor Supply Company, which is now in Morgan Utah, rather than Evanston , even though Evanston was their first choice. The other was its too damn bad that Harbor Freight Tools got stopped. They had eyes on the old spot in the strip mall where Radio Shack was here. Reason they got stopped? Because Harbor Freight was in cohearts with Victoria's Secret to buy that section of the mall and open a Victoria's Secret in one space and a Harbor Freight tools store next door. So what happened? They went to Rock Springs. Trouble is, now I have two choices, go to Ogden in the morning for a $2.50 chuck key, or order one. In the first case, I have to spend $40.00 in gas down , back, and a snack, loosing a half day, or   order the blooming thing and wait a week. Which means , I'm stopped , or spend $180.00 for a new chuckless drill. There goes my extended money for the month. Come on Evanston City Council officials, lets stretch your necks a bit out there and let corporate America in so we can have what we need here. You can't grow a field of hay unless you fertilize it, by the same furrow, you can't grow the rest of the crops unless the bees have a source to pollinate from, in this case the smb business's here can't grow, unless the reasons we can't is the supply chain is a long ways off. But don't despare (mis spelled on purpose) Hazzard County Tool & Paint Supply is coming to Evanston. What is Hazzard County Tool & Paint Supply? It's an automotive paint and body shop, supply store with PPG, and Dupont mixing of paints, with all those things you need, from specialty sand paper to DA sanders. Hazzard County Tool & Paint Supply, is also a discount but quality tool store. So people like me don't have to drive 200 miles round trip to buy a simple thing like a chuck key for an old skool electric drill. Watch here and listen to HazzardAyre Radio for news of our grand opening March of 2017.
So with the RDMA's That's the Radio-Disney Music awards on, I'm now off to the side, but could someone pass me the Goody's Headache Powder, for those who don't know what that is;  There are some northeners that might require directions to what Goody's are.

 There are many things that one can take for head pain or any pain, but Goody's are the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost of pain relievers. There is absolutely nothing on the pain reliever rack in any store that out powers, and does as fast a job of getting rid of a hangover headache, than Goody's. Absolutely nothing, better. I take 3 a day, for my heart and to thin my blood to keep from having DVT or leg blood clots. 

Still looking for on air and engineering employees at HazzardAyre/ KDXD but still no takers. I was talking to Dave over at WalMart the other night, he about fell over when I told him we pay a starting wage of $20.00 an hour at the station and will be paying $15.00 an hour plus tips at both Cooter's Grill & Bar and of course the Reaper Club. Yet as long as a year now, no takers. Some ask why Ihave people come to the Wolf's Lair to interview? Reason is simple 70% without holding their hands couldn't find the shop on their own. Plus with the work at getting the systems installed in the old City Hall location of the radio/TV station, there's too many interupting noises going on, so hey we meet here at the Wolf's Lair. Oh sure I get the noise of many here saying , why don't you drive a newer car? Mostly because I love the one I have, even with its leaks, its serving me well, and I don't owe the bank one penny on it, as well as the LiL Wolf, nor LexiBelle. I own em outright. Second, the club pays the wages , I'm just the person that does the lifting for the club. So that's why, plus don't judge what you see, from what one has. Or from what has as in ratio to their financial or other worth. I just love to live humble after all what the hell am I to do? Take it with me when I die? I'd rather enrich my mind rather than my bank account, after all , my mind wont steal money from my bank account, yet the bank sure as hell will. There's a very few people here in Evanston that knows this, but I'll explain it. Pam knows some of it, but thing is when I lost Janice(aka Monkee) due to my infidelity, but too, due to her loving me for my wallet, not me. When I lost her, I purposely, said no more looking or acting like little Lord Fontleroy. No more looking like a well off nerd. Nope, I said, I'm living simple and on a budget. The club, the shop, and my business has been doing that since 2004, and its why the club , has what it has, that its able to buy a bar , why it can buy a radio station, able to buy a TV station, and able to pay slightly better than average wages. 

Any way back to the RDMA's . 

Will be on the air early Monday morning at 05:00(5:00AM).

Can I have a Beer please?

Note to self: Not all computer programs that are free to download and use are not so compatable or easy to install. As many of you know last night to improve some of radio op's sound quality, I downloaded a so called sound processor. Easy to install and use it said, bs, so am working to remove that program and install the old sound processor program, so we'll not be on until noon Sunday. In big towns downloading a system program make take only seconds or minutes, here in Evanston, Wyoming, it takes a few hours. So be patient we'll get it done, just not as fast as you might expect. Okay then moving on.
The Reaper Crew is moving ahead with the bar project, they just got the letter of intent from the sellers and now its full building inspection, regulatory inspections, then its time to cut the bank check and what was the Hornets Nest, will become; The Reaper Club. We had intended to open two facilities, but the lack of a required suitable labor force here in Evanston, it was decided that one would be good, and reopen the western version of the Boars Nest in Idaho, near American Falls Idaho. 
Well it's that time again, to recruit, train and deploy the sweet southern honeys that will be the Hazzard County Honeys. And of course Miss Hazzard County/UCSA 2016/17. 

 This is a great career opening for someone looking to get into modeling and commercial TV product pitching. This is where we find the special ladies that will represent the club, and the United Confederate States of America on our TV and magazine ads as well as special events such as DukesFest West . Miss Hazzard County will be awarded a grand prize cash prize of a modeling contract worth $150,000.00 , plus a bunch of perks, so all you southern Belles types, best get in touch. 

So with that, I'm going off line, watching TV such as it is , grabbing a brew or two, then its off to dreamland , church in the AM .

A new Horizon for an old flame

A gray morning is what you'll find outside as you wake up. I should be asleep by now but radio station duty means time to work although the amount of personal horsepower limits much of me and my normal performance. Nate called last eve just as I was preping to go on air, so I shut down long enough to go partake food at JB's here in Evanston, which I'll say is much better than it was. I think the new owner, has shit canned the old staff and has acquired some new ones that makes it at least in quality of food much better. Of course we got Nathans SO , for a server last night. And despite all that occured with him at the old shop, she was at least kind and friendly, there might be some rekindling there. 
So I came home, fired the radio gig back up, and noticed that while going LIVE was not a problem, nothing I save on RodeWolfFM is being saved in the archieves , so looking to make a slight change there. Can most if not all the other channels we have on Livestream.com except for HazzardAyre and focus just on HazzardAyre Radio on Livestream, and migrate the rest of our content over to an outfit called Primcast, and see if that does any better than LiveStream does. If so maybe its time for us to blow off Livestream, for all of it, including HazzardAyre. Let you know more on that in July. I have noticed a bunch of recent tech problems at Livestream, here lately. Most of which they have repaired quickly, some not so much. I don't know if its they have had a bunch of their good techs walk out or what, but I think their nuts and wrench turners, engineers and all is not keeping up to par. 
For us turning up the heat on the core of our radio efforts, and what we ignited with needs to be the center of that effort. All Hazzard County, all the time and just what it all stands for, and just do different programs on our HazzardAyre Channels, on Livestream, instead of breaking most of up in individual channels like we have done here to fore. So all our programming for our online operation on Livestream, will now be done strictly on www.livestream.com/hazzardayre 
More this afternoon, I need some sleep.

peeping Tom spotted in Mountain Green, too bad too little information from local press

First of all it ain't me, let me make that crystal clear. Heard on KSL 5 News of a voyer prowling the area of Mountain Green in Morgan County Utah. So I looked the article up and saw little in the way of a full story, like an approximate height, weight, or partial description of the perp. Where was he seen last, why he might have chosen the first objectives, and so on. Let's dig into the meat of a story so others know what to look for. Has anyone seen any pics of the victims in the photos from a cell phone, albeit taken as the news on 5 said was taken with a selfie stick? If so, where? Under what posting and who posted. Give us an example of the victim so we can see why this Yankee might have taken these or did this invasion of personal space. 
I remember an old saying that a old cop in Glenn's Ferry Idaho told me a few years ago, there is the state of Ada, and the State of Idaho. Likewise I think there's the state of Metro-Utah and then the rest of the state of Utah. And all too many forgot about areas on the backside of the Wasatch range including Morgan, Echo, and that area. In fact it was indeed the efforts once upon a time, that wrote, barked, howled and got Morgan into the eyes of the press let alone the rest of the state of Utah. Why do I mention this? On the backyard of Morgan there is a berg called Porterville, and the Porterville Church. That was abandoned many years ago. The Knytes are still battling on buying that property, to rebuild it in its entirety, outside as it was once, but transforming the inside into a media hub, for the east side of the Wasatch front, that will be the main center for HazzardAyre TV. Evanston Wyoming is still in view for HazzardAyre Radio, depending on finding on air, and engineering staff, but, Morgan Utah has been chosen as the home of HazzardAyre/Southern Steele TV. 
Why? So the news that's important like the voyer, as reported near Mountain Green, is told, in its entirety, so people stay informed, to be safe and secure. 
We'll be on later on www.livestream.com/hazzardayre starting at midnight.

There's Ben and then there's the Knytes Who did it first and why we deserve some credit

Before any of you who read this get it in your crotches that this is any kind of bad mouthing Ben and Alma, don't. I have the highest respect of and for both these people. I love both as they are and if the were and are family. But I too love the club. The members of the club, have been on my ride of life from the time we all were 8 years old tricking out our pedal bikes, to now. We have seen it all, lived it all, and pretty much done it all. When the Dukes-of-Hazzard stopped fresh production and CBS stupidly cancelled the show, in 1985, I was so sad, but shortly after I met with exec producer Paul Picard of the Dukes near his death and I promised I would do my best to retain and honor the Dukes legacy. I did the same with Boss Hogg, Waylon, and Uncle Jessie, as well as my best friend Skip Ward an associate producer on the show. My 5th cousin Richie Montgomery played the bumbling radio announcer, on the on TV radio station WHOGG, and so it goes. Hazzard and what makes it up became a part of me, more over than just a hit TV show that many are or were a fan of. Of course in 1982 the Hazzard Knytes(Knights) was founded, and the rest is pretty much Hazzard County history. Back in 1988/89 The Knytes met in a part of Idaho, and took on the idea, of building a Dukes themed Memorial Park near Mountain Home Idaho. Pretty much where the idea of a Nuke power plant was going to be built in 2008. Hazzard County CSA was its name, after we couldn't pull the agreements off due to both a weak labor force and County commissioner approvals, we tabled the plan, and are still looking near Blackfoot Idaho, to construct same, but Ben and Alma later opened Cooter's Place, back east. But shouldn't the Knytes be given some credit for having the same original idea? Next, saw that Ben and his crew are looking to doing a DukesFest at Cooter's Place next year. I'm pretty sure the idea wasn't as popular, until Ben read that the Knytes plan on rolling that out here in Wyoming. Now to put this to rest. I love both Ben and Alma, but like many people out here in the Mountain West, Utah, Idaho,Montana and Wyoming, there's not a great deal of extra money for a family or a lone fan to load up the mini van to head back to Virginia, or Tennessee . If they're lucky, they might have enough money to go to a fun park in Utah called Lagoon. Now if there was a Hazzard County event for Dukes fans out here, would that not be more in tune to reaching out to those fans and saying thanks for your support all these years? This is not a competition, or anything to trash Ben and Alma's efforts, but what we are doing is giving the Mountain Western Dukes, fans an alternative to taking a trip to Virginia, or Tennessee spending mucho money when they only need to spend less money in fuel and lodging and come out west, enjoy Wyoming and soak in all things Hazzard County and Dukes under a big Wyoming sky. 
I just want and I think its deserved, that the Knytes be given a bit more credit for our contribution to Dukes fame, and retention of the Hazzard County legacy.
