Status: RO MR WILLIAM HAS SOME GOOD DX Boy, Mr. William had some good DXing around here lately. I heard Radio Pyongyang and the Voice of Vietnam booming in at SINPO 55555. Ironically, it was also very foggy outside that day. I wonder if all the fog from the signal of those two stations caused the atmospheric fog that day. Mr William's friend who works at a human feces disposal plant dropped by 3 days ago. He told Mr. William of the increase of excrement volume into the plant as te strength of Radio Pyongyang's signal into Baltimore increased. He then told Mr. William that for the aforementioned reason he thought Radio Pyongyang was "fulla crap." Mr William's friend then told Mr William that since he first started DXing three months ago, all he's been able to tune in is Radio Havana and Radio Pyongyang. Mr William told him that not all people are good at DXing, as DXing requires a lot of skill (although Mrs William finds it hard to believe that Mr. William is skillful at anything, least of all anything that requires listening). Mr William then told him that he might try more peonish hobbies, such as picking his nose. Mr William told him that he might get more out of the aforementioned hobbies than finding out that a Romanian invented the light bulb, or finding out about the latest technologial developments in the country of the not-so-great leader. Well, Mr William has got to go back to yard work. Boy, Mrs William sure likes to keep Mr. William on the move, just like when you hit the fast forward on a VCR adn the dudes on the screen really get cruisin'. ************************************************************** The above items were excerpted from the 1989 edition of BLANDX, the annual DX humor magazine.
