HazzardAyre

Then there’s RFDTV and FamilyNet.

As I put the byrd in the hangar, I watch RFDTV.

Now here’s the rubs. RFDTV, declined our offer to feed their wallet with the statement that we would not measure up or meet their requirements. Yet I see, offer after offer, that has worse than we ever thought of. As far as programming, chute, HeeHaw is about inline with things Hazzard County, so what gives? My opinion? Some jerk over at CH-11 , make no mistake we win anyway. But here’s the rest of this.

Seems as though at least to me, they run what 5 newscasts, mostly reairs of the same thing they put out at 07:00 in the morning. Except for a few stock reports, the rest is the same newscast, over and over and over again. Then after the one we see at night at 21:00, which ends at 21:30 they run fill in stuff that is pure junk. My opinion and I could be wrong, but its my guess, ole Patrick at RFDTV bit off a bit more than they could chew with FamilyNet, that for two months they bitched about CoX Cable pulling the network off of their system. But it’s the same tired TV. How about the Dukes on Family Net? Then there’s the Marty Stuart show. Both the host/singer and the show are so old now, I try to avoid the program.

Then overnight its infomercials. I got a great idea, put on something better with bite overnight , say; oh I don’t know, maybe HazzardAyre TV?

Should I go on?

Now on the local front, the local station that runs RFDTV/FAMILYNET, has only one newscast, at 17:00. How about filling in that 21:30 block with a nightly new news newscast? Supposedly they are a LPTV that’s true, they say they are none profit, but run ads anyway.

In closing; with all the turmoil of what you see and hear locally, aren’t you REALLY glad you have HazzardAyre?

The best websites and blog sites are the ones that are free, and aren’t complicated to navigate

Yes it’s April. And in the late 1950’s my mom delivered a force beyond comprehension, naw its just the month of my Birthday.

My only wish, get kozy with a honey, over a good meal, some wine and of course some serious wampum with somebody I know and trust. Wouldn’t it be great if our Nurse GoodBody decided to at least do dinner?

Maybe more time with toes in hose. Her’s are the best I have worked with okay. naw its not a fetish, but hey I like it. Science says the toes and feet are the most erogenous zones on the female body. Needs more exploration.

Okay then looking up a thing online for some on air content, happened upon a thing called; Open Salon. Okay fine. They wanted me to sign in, but no direction on how to register for an account.

Then there are those sites that haven’t been updated for two years or better. Except for a few concert dates, music stars sites are rarely updated, even then any time a site is tuff navigating, I just go elsewhere.

When I started writing for the Knytes, I got turned onto Blogger a Google product. I haven’t looked back. Hey I’m no wiz bang tech geek, but that’s the point. If you turn wrenches and toew for a living, your not going to always be a computer jock. While I’m still looking to getting a web builder here that has one idea of what we are trying to do and will do it cheap and not with a bundle put down, still I want the Knytes site to be near as possible to goof proof as possible, as Facebook, and of course Google is. Likewise I demand that HazzardAyre Radio’ site is ultimate, that will play, no matter what speed that viewer’s computer internet speed is. This has been the challenge in building our site. Its not money necessarily, but it is to be as close as to perfection, as it can be. Anybody want to swing at the project?

So as I close as 06:30 comes early, the best websites are those that load quick, are free of flaws, updated on a regular basis, and last easy to navigate. It’s a thing of, the KIS(Keep-It-Simple) rule.

still need gals with small toes in hose for our website pics. email ayrewolf@gmail.com if interested.

Let me tell you of a product rather service that keeps its word.

In this era of frustrating dislikes of companies that promise the moon but only get an altitude of 200 feet, and consumers pissd off at everything , its refreshing to find a company and product that does what it says. Not more , but certainly not less.

While I’d like to see much more stability in my connection as in maybe 15 megs, its not speed that is the key in Internet, but bandwidth. To look at it, think of trying to flush a bunch of water from an irrigation pipe through a garden hose. Sure it’ll get there, just not as much but not as fast. Thing is too many people online, too little space for signals to travel. But I’m getting off track.

I had driven past this place on Blue Lakes here in Twin Falls, for months. The company used to be Teton WireLess TV, should ought to get back in that business, as it’d give Cable One the craps. Any mile, the company is called SpeedConnect, and it runs like clock work. None of the issues I had with prior versions of their products, and speed? You bet. Although if something gets in the way of the receiver it goes off for a quick second, but there’s enough fidelity that I can watch TV most of the time, and run the radio show via YouTube and all that I now wonder why I never chose these guys before, at least in the current configuration.

The people at least the ones I worked with in setting up were great, they take cash at the office, so no big deal in paying my bill as it is with Cable One, and unlike Cable One the claim of 50 megs, naw. But at least I’m getting what I pay for.

When we go full tilt with HazzardAyre, I’m looking to run SpeedConnect, there as well as here at the house. Just hope they can give me a bit more stability, might need an outdoor tower and antenna.

But its still refreshing to find an Idaho company that is excellent, rather than the usual. Plus dig this, I only pay $50.00 a month.

If your looking to make a change in your Internet connection, call SpeedConnect at 866-297-2900 ext. 145, you’ll be glad you did.

Oh and I was not paid to write this, as it’s a real honest product evaluation testimony. SpeedConnect, just works, and really isn’t that the real intent of common sense?

For the uneducated

Another rainy day in Idaho. Hazzard is getting swampy, but not like Hazzard swamp, two different things. So stuck inside, not bad , but doing up grades of the STL for HazzardAyre Radio, plus editing audio and video. Some days it would be great to have a production staff, on air personalities that shared our love of Hazzard County and southern Christian views , but guess that’ll have to wait.

So many are in the thought pattern, of , “ Don’t Go in There” like Little Red Ryding Hood is going to get ate or something, what they fail to see is the little flicker of flame that is about to turn into a raging inferno>> this kind of thing is not unusual here. Thing is I can remember at the dawning of Southern Steele, a syndicated radio and about to run TV show of what happens in a MC(Motor Cycle) shop ran by Cooter and crew of Hazzard County Choppers. At the time, the custom MC fever was going strong. I got together with a soon to be intern in Provo Utah, someone driving a rig for the Discovery Channel over heard the conversation, and the show was released with different spelling and such, but our version kicked its but on two other networks, and syndicated radio. Southern Steele, not only was the show, but became the network. Nobody or nothing came close and Southern Steele became its own entity , and in late 2005 the gig, moved to CokeVille Wyoming, and most of you know the rest. My consultant Julie Mac bailed, why? You’d have to ask her. Thing is HazzardAyre is not only what Southern Steele was, but is a building of something that is about to smash everything radio and TV like it and even a few shows unlike it. The rest of the media people here and even nationwide are not wanting to jump on board. They’re scared shitless of HazzardAyre.

They’re scared, of a radio show and network, that brings together the mindset of two popular TV shows, the Dukes-of-Hazzard and Airwolf. With me in the cockpit, flying this bad show as AyreWolf, and running with a fully unplugged , fight the system attitude and personality. I have never thought I was super special, or anything, still don’t. You could absorb the idea that my on air, personality is a mix of WolfMan Jack coupled with a greatly detuned Howard Stern, with southern grits, and a shine runners tenacity and you get me. My on air personality is not so unlike my off air attitude either. I am a take me as I am or get outta my face person. I will not throw away my individuality, my personality, or my beliefs for anyone. I will love Jesus Christ, I believe in marriage between a guy and gal only, I don’t believe or even think abortion should be legal or an option, I read my bible, and I pray. Folks that can’t handle that, just don’t come to the Wolf’s door. But I get off track here.

HazzardAyre is the show, it has some great backing and it has some great programming, done by a small staff of bikers, discharged military aviators, and yes Dukes-of-Hazzard enthusiasts combined into a thing we call the Knytes-of-Anarchy.

However HazzardAyre is much more than the obvious.

HazzardAyre, is playing music most have never heard or have forgotten, including southern music that is no where else available. HazzardAyre is preaching southern history and heritage, when no one else dared. HazzardAyre, is radio that runs old style radio dramas, HazzardAyre does our own comedy bits, from the attempt to find out how long a man could kiss a woman's toes in nylon hose. Hey read some of the other blog entries and you’ll find out more on that. HazzardAyre’s small but active news team, is usually first and in many cases breaks more local and national news than anyone here. Up to now we have been only available through syndication. Two things change this year.

In July, HazzardAyre will go viral on its own web site with streaming live 24 7 broadcasts. More over by this time next year , HazzardAyre goes fully live, as our own radio station. The FCC has opened a filing window for LPFM’s in October. Our application has been waiting and as I have learned is number one for full approval. Which means by this time next year , HazzardAyre on KDOH(Dukes-of-Hazzard) FM 105.7 Buhl Idaho. With a not so low power kick of 250,000 watts making us the biggest most powerful FM in Idaho.

During December 2012 into early January, I put up an ad on CraigsList. Searching for possible prospective candidates, mainly female to be on air personalities, with not so hide their head in the sand attitudes. Hey prudes do not need to work here. What I got, was about 5 that could have been something, two that were drug mothers, and wanted pay for work they had not done. One I thought was a real go getter, but became a spy for someone trying to kill the project the other, I’m not sure of. It was a disaster.

Now then folks ask why good looking eye candy on radio is important, hmmm , lets see, visual website showing the goings on in the studio while doing a live radio show. You don’t want mama two ton Tessie in the studio. Number two if your printing up things for posters and such to publicize the show and site, again bow-wow’ are not going to git-r-done.

Now the fact that to cut development and operational costs, with transmitter in Buhl, and studio needing more work, we started doing the production in my home. But because it is in MY HOUSE, all too many females that might, got spooked and though don’t go in there. I still can’t understand wuzz up with that. For those young ladies, too bad.

The bottom line, a big powerhouse of unplugged confederate southern radio is coming out of the Mountains here, and those blocking the road are getting bowled over.

Look out, HazzardAyre is radio unlike anything. But here’s the kicker and I’ll expand on this Monday, HazzardAyre is about to go TV. As well as radio.

And you disbelievers ignored us, and tried to find fault, you lost. Get over it, in fact all Yankee’ here’s my thoughts>>> ,

LuLu Hogg ain’t sung and we ain’t done.

Oops

Thank God I saw the light and got out of that trap, years ago, but here’s something.

As a try as I can to be an open minded person, I tuned into my other radio since I’m updating my music collection via cassette, in my truck.

Hey I needed Skoal, and so LDS Conference comes on, dang I forgot that. So that’s why my Internet is running slow. All them gall darn Mormons who ain’t in SLC this weekend are watching on the Internet. Funny the church charges money to watch. Really? I never saw anything in no bible nor the BOM, that says, lets make money off of these people. In fact I thought Gods knowledge was to be FREE. But the goof balls in Utah charge money to watch Conference. Hey Church President, I have a suggestion, you pay my Cable One bill, so I can get cable back, and I’ll watch. That’d make common sense. Not that much else does any more, the only intelligence belongs to Hazzard-ites. That is fans of and folks from Hazzard County. Read my last blog to figure that out.

Does anyone know who that gal who wears those pearl white outfits on Cable One’s ads? She’s not bad looking. Wonder if she’s open to doing other ads?

How about one like this>>> or >>>> I’d buy that wouldn’t ya’ll?

Any mile back to the air but I thought you’d like that.

Tune in, HazzardAyre Radio IS ON THE AIR NOW!!!

The 30 Day Challenge

As it was said on the Dukes, when Enos went to California to be LAPD’s top detective, is any place ready for this. After all field training in Hazzard can be Well HAZZARDOUS after all few places are like Hazzard.

Here in our area of Idaho we are somewhat blessed, with a town that so mirrors the Hazzard we saw on TV that Hagerman Idaho, became Hazzard at least in image and nick name. Might have been why the Knytes was founded there, likewise where the Hazzard County Garage, at least the real Hazzard County Garage was founded.

But I’m veering off the subject road here.

There’s a call, from our Pastor asking for more involvement of the congregation into church ministries. No problem, but question is, is the church ready for the challenge of us from Hazzard?

I don’t know how many times I have put myself out there asking for opportunities to serve. After all, Jesus said in Mathew, “ Never ask to be served, but how you can serve”. But I get the , we’ll get ahold of you brush off. Guess Hazzard County tenacity gets to some of these Yankees.

Its fair to say, that Hazzard-ites are more than just you run of the wool confederates. We’re a lot more fight the system, aggressive than many are. We see a need or opportunity we go after it, and make it happen, even though the revenuers and others say, can’t be done, or shouldn’t be done. Perhaps its God through the power of Hazzard giving us the shove in the back and bur under our saddles to do this and that. Yes you have to get that with this, they are a set, no unpackaging them. It’ll take a few hours for Yankee’s to figure that one out.

For all the things you saw on TV, for all the story lines and Hollywood, the Knytes-of-Anarchy originally the Hazzard County Knytes, are Hazzard County. After all Hazzard County is not just a place or location or coffee stop, Hazzard County is a place in the heart and soul and those of us who allowed Hazzard County to infect us, we are much better off. We believe in the sayings of, Just because it ain’t , don’t mean it can’t. Or instead of asking why, ask why not? Instead of asking why here? Why not here? Again I detoured.

It was those memories of things Hazzard County and those Duke Boys, that kept me sane in both Iraq during my two tours there with the 214, that also kept me on track in Afghanistan . Something would face me, and I’d ask what would Bo & Luke do? Or how would Enos deal with this? All too many times it was Hazzard County that helped me keep it together, when a buddy would get blasted by an IED . Some might ask how our squadron identified with the Dukes-of-Hazzard. The same person who played Boss Hogg, also played the preacher on Black Sheep Squadron, the TV drama, written by founder Greg Boyington, aka Pappy. More over here are things to think of. The CB handle of the Dukes, was the Black Sheep. Uncle Jessie on the cb was Shepherd , Daisy was BO PEEP. More over Luke Duke was a properly discharged Marine. Accident? I don’t think so.

The one TV show that we could get often on Armed Forces TV was the Dukes.

The results are that in many ways, the nick name of the Knytes-of-Anarchy is the Confederate Marines. Keeping that legend alive and teaching those no knowing what it really is about to be Confederate. Brining them awareness of Dixie Broadcasting online, and rebroadcasting same here over the air with our Hazzard County enhancements, on HazzardAyre Radio. Its just like I get asked about the reason behind the gold wings in many of our hedders and graphics, on this blog etc. The Knytes-of-Anarchy, as well as sister group the AyreWolvez are discharged aka reassigned, USMC/NAVY Pilots(aviators) , we love our Dukes and just as the General Lee, we love to fly. So golden wings are part of us. Its like the adage of many mc’s , if you don’t ride you’ll never understand, in us, if your not a Hazzard County fan, you’d never understand.

So to our friends at The River Christian Fellowship, you gave the challenge to us to serve, now the question is , are you ready for the challenge of Hazzard County? Are you ready to accept the Knytes-of-Anarchy, remember out of anarchy comes order.

Any mile its Sunday, need feed, and sleep. Tune in tonight to HazzardAyre Radio.

After the Show PhooteNotes

Well one more HazzardAyre show in the can as they say. Last nights edition wasn’t too bad, tried to get up on air myself, but tech problems with our link to YouTube kept fuggling up, so seemed as just when I wanted to speak something would trip up, so couldn’t yap as much.

Then got cotton dry mouth so bad my tung felt like sandpaper, so when I dared , fled to the shed to grab some Simply Lemonade and occasionally hit the head. What it’d be like to have a program aid in studio. I’d give that job to just not everyone, but just anyone that had the Hazzard look, and could finish my sentences before I do. Or at least could fetch liquid during the show. Ah for the days of bigger town radio.

Seems as some fence mending is going on with Mirinda and I, so I reupped her in the club, see what goes.

Church in the morning so I’m off to bed>> Thinking of doing lunch a Lotza Burger in Tweaker Flatts in the afternoon.

Now let’s see if I pee the bed, during sleep tonight.

Seems lately that’s been a slight problem. Maybe be something to do with all too much 100 mile sea while on air, and soda during show prep. Again what’d be like to have a Production Assistant. Maybe this summer.
