Important D-Day Update!

I was going back through the D-Day files to tag them so that they were compliant with Live 365 rules, and realized that the third hour of the broadcast was identical to the 5th hour!  I’ve scoured the Net for the correct file, but every source has the wrong file as the third hour.  After [...]


D Day Special Broadcast

Please tune in this June 6th for our traditional D Day commemorative broadcast.  We will be broadcasting everything that went out over the air from CBS New York, at the same time of day it was originally heard on June 6, 1944.
When the broadcast engineer at the New York studios realized shortly after 2AM on [...]

Things may look a little wiggy today as I try out some new theme building software.  Just a head’s up to let you know what’s going on!

Christmas Playlist

My lovely and talented wife and I spent Thanksgiving with old friends and had a wonderful time. The aftereffects were that I went to bed soon after arriving home, so am still uploading Christmas songs today!
Not to worry, we’ll have a quick Christmas playlist up this afternoon (one of the advantages of working at home) [...]

We have received over $200 in donations this month, so I am going to upgrade the broadcast package for December to allow [...]


Thank you!

Thank you for your support in keeping Rat Patrol Radio on the air! Thanks to donations and purchases of VIP Memberships by listeners, we have enough station credit to last through the end of the year.
Remember that we will be starting the Big Band Christmas Playlist the day after Thanksgiving, and of course will be [...]


Lights Out?

Well folks, the recession has hit me pretty hard. My business has shrunk to nothing, and my savings are all gone.   I’ve been sending out resumes for two weeks with no response.
Right now, Rat Patrol Radio has $13 in credit from the wonderful folks that have bought VIP memberships using the button on the old [...]


Eight Years Later: a New Begining

It’s been several years since I launched the last version of this site, and since the forums weren’t being used by anyone but spammers, I’ve decided to join the 21st Century and start anew with a blog format. Things will be tweaked as I have time, and suggestions are welcome! This includes suggestions for a [...]
