Video Documentary Project About Community, Free, Pirate Radio

This arrived in our email last week via Andrew Yoder.  Many of our readers have already seen it.  This post is primarily for those who may not be on those email lists, which may include station operators who have never publicly given any contact information.

My initial reaction was skeptical - but not toward Andrew or Professor Hepler, in the slightest.  I'm confident that Andrew is as fair, neutral and objective an observer as you'll find anywhere in the shortwave pirate radio scene - certainly far more so than I am.

Personally I'm looking forward to Professor Hepler's documentary and sincerely wish him well in that pursuit.  There's no lack of colorful characters and anecdotes in the North American shortwave pirate radio scene.

Note that I added the "free" and "pirate" radio descriptions to this post's headline due to the nature of the readership of Tales of Radio Paranoia.  As the professor's letter explains, he prefers the less pejorative term community broadcaster.

In a rare break from this blog's usual snarky tone, I'll reserve further comment for a later blog post.

Dear community broadcaster,


I write asking for your help, but I don't call you "pirate" because I believe that miscommunicates what I'm finding to be your motivation and purpose--and I'm just back from meeting the original offshore broadcasters of Holland and England who similarly broke barriers in the English Channel in the 1960s.


I am a college professor doing a video documentary on both causes: yours and the historic broadcasters of the 1960s. I am very aware of the persecution going on among you U.S. broadcasters and your need for confidentiality. Toward that end, I interviewed a community broadcaster at Winter Fest outside Philly a few weeks ago--in silhouette--and that interview should be attached with Andy's email for you to see. The interview brings good news and good news--no kidding--in that the guest got to express his views and our silhouette completely protected his identity. This is what I offer you: a chance to express your views at no risk.


I have already been asked to present this finished documentary at Winter Fest next year, though I await an official invitation. I will present it to a national conference of educational colleagues in April 2013, and perhaps to the professional broadcasters' conference (the NAB) if they'll have me. After that, I suppose any further distribution would be up to Europeans or other interested parties, should such interest come about.


I leave for a 5-week trip across the U.S. around May 1. With your say, I'd like to give you a chance to be a part of this work if you're anywhere near my route. Your confidentiality--and message--are everything to my documentary. With your approval, I will honor both. Thanks for your consideration.

    The professor's name "Wayne Hepler" is obviously fake. The letters in the name can be rearranged as:

    Relay Nephew
    We Learn Hype
    He Rape Newly

    And more. Obviously this is just another phishing expedition by the Mad Rabbit to get your real name and address so he can send you more gay porn "QSLs".

  9. A Pirate walks into a pub and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman..

    He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his watch for a moment.

    The woman notices this and asks, 'Is your date running late?'

    'No', he replies,'I just got this state-of the-art watch, and I was just testing it..'

    The intrigued woman says, 'a state-of-the-art watch?
    ''What's so special about it?'

    The Pirate explains, 'It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically.'

    The lady says, 'What's it telling you now?'

    Well, it says you're not wearing any panties.'

    The woman giggles and replies
    'Well it must be broken because I am wearing panties!'

    The Pirate smiles, taps his watch and says,
    ' Damn thing's an hour fast!'

  18. "Doc" says Commander Bunny "I want to be castrated".
    "What on earth for?" asks the doctor in amazement.
    "It's something I've been thinking about for a long time and I want to have it done" replies Commander Bunny.
    "But have you thought it through properly?" asks the doctor "It's a very serious operation and once it's done, there's no going back. It will change your life forever!"
    "I'm aware of that and you're not going to change my mind so either you book me in to be castrated or I'll simply go to another doctor".
    "Okay okay" says the doctor "But it's against my better judgment!"
    So Commander Bunny has his operation, and the next day he is up and walking very slowly, legs apart, down the hospital corridor with his drip stand. Heading towards him is another patient, who is walking exactly the same way.
    "Hi there" says Commander Bunny "It looks as if you've just had the same operation as me".
    "Well" said the patient "I finally decided after 37 years of life that I would like to be circumcised".
    Commander Bunny stared at him in horror and screamed, "Shit! THAT'S the word!"

  29. Yes Pirate Radio “used” to be fun!
    By Commander Bunny | May 27, 2012
    Until the CRIMINAL element over-ran it and have hacked their way into every corner of Pirate Radio.

    The Criminal Element has over taken Pirate Radio and now freely post on HF Underpants and inferior blogs
    How interesting that every one of the self professed “Bunny-haters” have long and unsettling CRIMINAL RECORDS. One can only wonder why they want to over-run Pirate Radio, but the fact is, the Bunny-haters all have first hand experience with the U.S. and Canadian criminal justice systems and long criminal records.

    A well known "bunny-hater" on his recent incarceration in a Lansing, Michigan jail.
    WARNING – WARNING – WARNING – WARNING

    Well known HF Underpants posters and the people behind some of the inferior websites that attack Commander Bunny. Know your criminals in Pirate Radio and "blogging" circles.
    Do not share any personal information with any of these people. Some have been convicted of “identity theft” and “credit card fraud”. Any personal information you give to them will be used to commit a felony and possibly entangle you in the criminal justice system and ruin your credit. Know the criminals who are ruining Pirate Radio.

    Bunny-haters contemplate their next move to undermine Pirate Radio
    Yes Pirate Radio “used” to be fun. But the criminals (some still with outstanding warrants) have ruined it with their lies, scams, schemes and frauds. The criminal element has taken the “FUN” out of Pirate Radio and they post often on HF Underpants.

    what the fuck retard rabbit!!
    if YOU broadcast a signal no matter how small YOU are a CRIMINAL too tou STUPID BASTARD !

    Of course, the furry one had friends do his dirty work.

    And how about that kiddie porn he posted under Radio Bob's name?

    Keep pushing bunny. Perhaps some people don't know that the surface has only been scratched. I am not one of them, and I am growing weary of this.

  34. Every single show that Ragnar produces features WBNY or "Pat".

    So much attention for a tiny 10 watt station that almost nobody hears.

    Sure Ragnar does a fantastic job with the rest of the shows. Its called "dedication to the cause".

    But the unfortunate thing is, Bunny is "the cause".

    Media manipulation at it's finest.

    Professor Wayne Hepler is doing a documentary about Pirate Radio. From what he's told me its not the usual kind that focuses on European "Radio Caroline" pirates, but covers the whole spectrum, including North American Pirates.

    He has interviewed a lot of different people and characters from the Pirate world and its my understanding that he'll premiere the documentary at Winterfest 2013. He's done filming and in the mix/production phase of the project now.

    Just thought everyone would be happy to hear that North American Pirates are getting some credit for a change. He's filming all the pirates in shadow silhouette so identities aren't compromised.

    The nice thing is that the Professor has a background in radio and tv, both on air and production so he has a better understanding of where Pirate Operators are coming from.

    Thanks to Professor Hepler and his efforts to document North American Pirate Radio. Long overdue.

  81. The Lagomurph's recent comments about the Hepler documentary make it difficult to tell whether he's simply delusional and really believes the documentary will merely be another puff piece glorifying his legend (as if the world needs another North American Pirate Radio Hall of Fame), or whether the Murphy is trying to subtly discredit Hepler's project and discourage insiders from participating and divulging info that might cast Murphy is a less favorable light - if that's even possible.

I am hereby sorry to inform you all that starting tomorrow our site along with many other sites dedicated to pirate radio will effectively be closed down by the FCC stemming from a new mandate to remove all websites and forums dedicated to teaching and discussion of radio transmitters used for pirate and other illicit radio activity or face harsh fines and manual removal of such websites by force.

    The site will remain open for a short time until the FCC replaces it with a large banner telling everyone why it was closed with a link that will bring viewers to the FCCs new rule mandate page with articles on thought crimes, devious behavior, and general mischief and the punishments one would receive if they commit such crimes.

  95. The latest I heard was that WBNY is switching to an all-Internet format; Internet broadcasting and eQSLs exclusively. This is in response to years of declining loggings and a distinct lack of notice given to WBNY shows sent out over the airwaves.

    Jerry will have no problem filling that quota. He posts something about rabbits and monkeys at a near daily pace. The boy is obsessed.

    He'll still be irrelevant,but he'll make that deadline.

    Winston, I missed your question about where I was living? I'm staying on the old Todd place just south of Union Hall.

    You should come down this weekend,we'll do a little fishing.

    Why we could go visit Jerry? he's usually at his family's old homeplace in Peckerwood Level on weekends.

    Maybe we can talk some sense into him? Bring Great-Grandaddy's straight-jacket just in case he still spouting that rabbit stuff.

    Boatright Graves? You old "e" dropper. I've got my eye on you. Please tell your Mother I said,"Hello".

  101. Tully,from reading his blog,it seems Jerry Mike has gone off the deep end yet again. Now he claims not to be a radio Rabbit,but has reverted back to his old Pat Murphy incarnation.

    I better bring the tranquilizer gun,Peckerwood Pat is on the loose.

    Peckerwood Pat? LOL! That suits the boy to a "t".

    He's gone off,no doubt. The fella who delivers my paper said he saw Jerry Mike wandering around Moneta yesterday with a cardboard sign saying "Will transmit for food."

    Poor Cousin Peckerwood.

  103. Moneta is an unincorporated community in Bedford County, Virginia, United States, along Route 122 between Bedford and Rocky Mount; Route 122 follows a bypass around the community.

    Moneta was popularized as the shooting location for scenes in the movie What About Bob?. In the movie, Bob arrived by bus with his goldfish and went into a local general store, which still stands.

    Moneta is one of several postal address for homes located on both sides of Smith Mountain Lake, whether in Bedford County or in Franklin County, since there is no Smith Mountain Lake postal address.

  104. What About Bob? is a 1991 comedy film directed by Frank Oz, and starring Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss. Murray plays Bob Wiley, a multiphobic psychiatric patient who follows his successful and egotistical psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin (played by Dreyfuss) on vacation. When the unstable Bob befriends the other members of Marvin's family, it pushes the doctor over the edge.

    Bob Wiley (Bill Murray) is a good-natured man who suffers from multiple phobias. He feels good about the results of an initial session with Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss), a New York psychiatrist with a huge ego, but is immediately left on his own with a copy of Leo’s new book, Baby Steps, when the doctor goes on vacation to Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire. Unable to cope, Bob follows Leo to his vacation home, where Bob’s stay in town is facilitated by the Guttmans (Tom Aldredge and Susan Willis), a couple who hold a grudge against Leo because he purchased the home they had been saving to buy.

    Leo refuses to treat Bob while on vacation and attempts to avoid any further contact, but Bob gets along fine with the rest of Leo’s family and continues to socialize with them. Leo’s children Anna (Kathryn Erbe) and Sigmund (Charlie Korsmo) find that Bob relates well to their problems, in contrast with their father’s clinical approach, while Bob begins to gain an enjoyment of life from his association with them. Bob goes sailing with Anna and convinces Sigmund to dive into the lake, a fear Leo was unable to help him overcome. Jealous Leo pushes Bob into the lake and Leo’s wife, Fay (Julie Hagerty), insists on inviting Bob to dinner to apologize—although Bob thinks Leo’s slights against him have been accidental. At dinner, Leo’s angry outburst at Bob causes him to choke, and Bob saves his life with the Heimlich maneuver. A thunderstorm then forces Bob to spend the night. Leo wants Bob out of the house by 6:30. But, Bob is still present as Leo is interviewed on Good Morning America to publicize Baby Steps. The interviewer ends up insisting that Bob participate in the interview, and Leo manages to make a fool of himself while Bob speaks glowingly of Leo and the book and steals the limelight.

    Outraged, Leo throws a tantrum and then attempts to have Bob committed, but Bob is soon released after befriending the staff of the institution and demonstrating his sanity. Forced to retrieve him, Leo then abandons Bob in the middle of nowhere, but Bob quickly gets a ride back to Leo’s house while a variety of mishaps delay Leo until nightfall. Leo is then surprised by the birthday party that Fay has been secretly planning for him, and he is delighted to see his beloved sister Lily (Fran Brill). But when Bob appears and puts his arm around Lily, Leo becomes completely enraged and attacks him. Bob remains oblivious to Leo’s hostility, and Fay explains that Leo has been acting unacceptably as a result of an inexplicable grudge against Bob, and she reluctantly asks him to leave; Bob sadly agrees. Meanwhile, Leo breaks into a sporting goods store, stealing a rifle and explosives. Bob becomes terrified while walking through the dark woods and is easily kidnapped at gunpoint by Leo, who straps the explosives to Bob and ties him up, calling it "death therapy." Using Leo’s "Baby Steps" approach, Bob manages to free himself; he reunites with Leo and his family out on the vacation home’s dock and then the explosives destroy the house. This leaves Leo in a catatonic state.

    Some time later, Leo is brought to Lily and Bob’s wedding. Upon their pronouncement as husband and wife, Leo regains his senses and screams, "No!" but the sentiment is lost in the family’s excitement at his recovery. The film ends on a title card:

    Bob went back to school and became a psychologist.
    He then wrote a huge best seller: Death Therapy.
    Leo is suing him for the rights.

  105. The movie was filmed in and around the town of Moneta, Virginia located on Smith Mountain Lake. Production had to go south because at the real Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, the leaves were already turning for the fall season. While there is a lake in New Hampshire named Winnipesaukee, there is no town by that name (as the film implies). This generated chuckles in lake area movie cinemas where the film was shown. Filming lasted from August 27- November 21 1990.

    The house used in the filming still stands. The exploding house was a prop house built for the explosion on a nearby lake front lot; the local inhabitants gathered to watch the explosion from land and boats.

    The scenes of Bob arriving in town on the bus with his goldfish were filmed in downtown Moneta, which was spruced up and repainted for the movie.

    The local institute which Leo tries to commit Bob in is actually the local Elks Home for retirees in the nearby town of Bedford, Virginia.
    Originally director Frank Oz had Woody Allen in mind for the role of Dr. Leo Marvin, given Allen's reputation for quirkiness in his films. Allen declined the role, and Richard Dreyfuss ultimately was cast.

  106. What's that got to do with that Jerry guy wandering around town with that sign?

    He's scaring away the tourists. I haven't sold a gyro since he took up residence on the corner across the street.

    My son ran him off with a weedeater last night,but he'll be back,waving his sign and that little metal box he calls a transmitter.

    BTW,are any of you poets? He keeps screaming about how he hates poets.

    If he keeps it up,I'm sending the boy out tonight to clobber him with a copy of "The Iliad",hardback edition.

  109. In addition to the “traditional” reasons, your mom may have had you circumcised for at least one or more of the reasons below that she won't tell you (and don't embarrass both of you by asking!):

    She wanted you to get blow jobs. Much more likely if you're clean, dry and don't smell bad. Circumcised boys often have to look up the word “smegma” in a dictionary. They have no idea what it is because they never produce any.

    She knew that girls like circumcision. It's clean (see above), and it's sexy. The sight of a bare glans (head of the penis) is a major turn on for most women.

    She knows or knew another woman who did not have her son circumcised at birth and later regretted it.

    She once had a bad experience with an uncircumcised man, or knew another woman who did.

    ReplyDelete
  110. smegma
    : the secretion of a sebaceous gland; specifically: the foul-smelling pasty, cheesy sebaceous accumulation of desquamated epidermal cells and sebum that collects in moist areas like between the glans penis and the foreskin or around the clitoris and labia minora.
    "And they say, 'Well, you'll have cheese if you're not
    circumcised.' I like it! It's my cheese! Give it to me!"
    Howard Stern, talking about smegma, on his radio show, 4/11/00

    so in other words
    he is dick cheese

    ReplyDelete
  111. Side note: While smegma may be reminiscent of a domestic cheese, ball sweat smells like mayonnaise!
    Smegma may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cuz I'd never eat the mutha' fucka'.

  112. Louise: Damn! What is that on the end of your snake, Sam?

    Sam: Fuck if I know. I've had it since the circus was in town last month. Smegma?

    Louise: Don't even get near me with that. It looks like you been fucking the spigot on the nacho cheese machine.

  120. I see a certain blogger has forgotten to take his medications. He's back to his usual "poor, poor pitiful me" routine.
    Watching Commander Snitch Puppet drown in his own tears, as he whines and pouts about the reaction to his version of the "truth", is almost sad. But, while tasting his own salty sorrow, Commander Murphy can not resist the urge to play "Joan of Arc" to complain about his martyrdom.
    Well, Commander Murphy, the flames on your pyre are higher, because the fire feeds on your own bluster.
