For many years, I pursued a hobby that combined my passion for music and broadcasting. I hosted and produced a music show that aired on two radio stations in Illinois, featuring a blend of popular hits from the 1960s through the mid-2000s, along with lesser-known tracks by well-known artists. I placed particular emphasis on Canadian bands and musicians, showcasing their contributions to the broader music landscape.

In 2019, I fulfilled a long-held ambition by becoming a shortwave broadcaster, joining WRMI in Okeechobee, Florida. I hope to return to hosting these shows when time and finances allow.

My broadcasting journey began in the late 1990s when I discovered Tom and Darryl, two independent radio producers from Macomb, Illinois. They were part of a group of layman broadcasters who leased airtime on C-Band satellite and shortwave.

The sound clip below is one of the jingles I use on my radio show. It was created by the late Ken Justiss using a vintage electronic device called a Sonovox.
