Rat Patrol Radio

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) and will make our patented hand-crafted Christmas mega-playlist ASAP.

Also, don’t forget that the Christmas playlist will be pre-empted in December 7th so that we may bring you the Pearl Harbor tribute show.

First off, let me say how totally blown away I am by the support that I’ve received for Rat Patrol Radio.  It has been truly remarkable, and I am really touched by your response.

We have received over $200 in donations this month, so I am going to upgrade the broadcast package for December to allow FORTY simultaneous free listeners! You VIP members will still of course get in even if the station is at the listener cap, and will listen commercial-free.

In January, I’ll go back to the 20 listener cap where we used to be. I had downgraded to the P2 package that only allowed ten simultaneous free listeners when money got tight.

Again, thank you all so very much for your support!

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 running our Pearl Harbor Memorial broadcast on December 7.

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 site, or have listened for many hours to RPR on their VIP accounts. The monthly bill since I downgraded the package is $27 a month.  Whether RPR stays on the air will depend on the support it gets from the listeners. If you aren’t a VIP listener, use the “Be a VIP” button on the Live 365 player window to enroll! If you are a VIP, listen more! Every hour you listen means a few cents toward station costs.

Whatever happens, it’s been an honor to bring the music of the Greatest Generation to life again, and I’ll always cherish the response I’ve gotten from all you listeners.

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 different theme. This is a placeholder theme for right now.

Speaking of refreshing things, I’ve added some tracks, removed some others, and made a new shuffle playlist. Hopefully I’ll have time later to lovingly hand-craft a large playlist for the full “trip through history” experience that you listners love so much!
