What the Internet has no knowledge of and few put it up there. Case-n-point, was thinking of an old radio personality in Idaho Falls Idaho, that was working with us in 1976 to bring to boil an overnight trucker show on KUPI there. His name was Midnight Mike. So I did a Google search and of course no results. The same holds true for 411 on our organizational model of the Independent Truckers Association that became our elder parent organization in 1989 as the United American Independent Truckers Association. Of course too, little is up online of the older editions of Overdrive, the RoadMasters, after that what we assimilated in 1992 as the Road Commanders Association the name we ran as our big rig custom truck subsidiary. Of course again no point is on the map of the cyber highway of the I-80 Control CB Club, nor the JR-14. And absolutely nothing on the TeenAge Truckers Association. All of this means the wordsmiths of our organization needs to get busy. This is a ball buster year. Since it’s 39 years now that we all have been brothers of the highways and skyways.
Then I decided to see what KUPI’s site looked like. No independence there, some big outfit swallowed em up. Which brings me to one of the biggest things about us at least as an organization and our organization in Broadcasting. From that first day we all sat around on that loop knit rug in Mrs. Jacobsen’ house as she was our Cub scout Den Mother, to the hours in the shop in Hazzard, we have all stuck together, no matter the pain, discourse and hurdles we have united when the call went out and did the impossible. Likewise , when we fyred up that old RCA 100 tubed transmitter at the house near West-Point Idaho, in 1974 to date, from Heavy Hooker Radio, to Dixie Diesel Radio, to everything in between , and since to right today. Nobody, no big media giant, no media group, NOBODY has ever been successful in buying us. We haven’t lost a bunch of money are financially sound and still after all these years our shows snag awards , praises, and all. We are still us on that radio. Its still us on our TV shows, and its still us, printing and publishing. From the time the Hazzard Knytes was created of 10 people knee deep at the Polish Palace, eating burgers & fries and me trying to snag a butt feel from Vanessa Wood, who became club sexatary, to our illustrious officers of today, with just a tad over $130,million in the bank, The Knytes-of-Anarchy, and Confederate Star Radio/Southern-Steele Media, remains the rebel voice of America.
Through it all when our members(you) or a prospective member looks us up, the person they talk to is one of us. We can be contacted directly. The club is virtually transparent.
So as you do your duty today, remember as a Knyte, you have lots to be proud of.
