Reception Report From our Friend's in the Ukraine

Turns out this guy is a scammer BEWARE fellow ops...

Dear Poser,

It is quite apparent to me that you in fact never heard my station due to the defensive nature of your replies. I will tell you something, you might think you have game, you have nothing. You will not receive anything but grief from me and my station due to your bogus report that had absolutely no details what so ever of my programing. You are obviously clueless as to the workings of requesting qsl's from radio stations. Anyone can copy and paste lines from a website. You really play a crappy game and would be much better suited as being a poster child for stupidity. Look f00knut, You Want Fame? You got it and will regret ever contacting me, your bogus a$$ is mine, your going to be famous alright for all the wrong reasons. Be sure to watch the websites i am affiliated with, I have all your information and there will be warnings about you posted all over the web very shortly, you picked the wrong person to try to scam pally.. !!! Now go have a nice warm cup of go f00k yourself, your ass is mine!!

Have a Nice Day,

Hello.

I work in the office of a small firm, all day I spend at the computer, often listen to your radio station, and the whole staff of our organization is listening to you, we are almost the fans of your radio, really like your music , leading programs. Always interesting to hear what is happening in neighboring countries. Hard working days, your radio is helping ordinary office manager to work out all week and on Friday evening when labor weekdays have been completed, your radio is helping to distract from the work and calmly to the weekend with his family. But in our country there is no opportunity to see small souvenirs with logos of your radio, such as a corporate icon, pens, pencils, cord with carabiner, bottle opener, a lighter, stickers, t-shirts , backpacks. ... All that can remind me of your radio. I am writing to request you to send me if you have such a product with your logo, if it does not entail significant costs for your radio. I would be very grateful.

Sincerely your fan and admirer.

Thank you for your work.

MY PAL BOOMER

By Boomer,

Wow, I've had the chance to read the here more closely, and I just don't know what to bark about the comments on the Grenade and what you think about it, I'm moved.. especially after all of this time, and here it is still being thought of. I mean, you know the life of a technical idea is not usually very long.

I found out that I had the Dog connection at 11, after seeing The Shaggy DA. That movie had a wild effect on me, and I started to 'play Dog' and later get into the idea of being one, that I was a pooch somehow, more and more as time went on.

Being a Dog is my true identity, feeling Canine as I go about my day and trying to live like one as much as I need to, to be comfortable and feel that my life is good and more complete. You could think of it maybe as a spirit or totem animal that has become a large part of my identity and personality. My breed is the Pyrenean Shepherd.

I had wanted to legally change my name to Boomer The Dog for many years, but put it off for one reason or another. As I grew as a Dog though, it was clear that something had to give, so I decided to really do it this year.

I really wasn't expecting much publicity at all, maybe a local news story at most after it was done, but the whole thing just took off. See, as part of the name-change process you must publish a legal notice in local newspapers. It's just a little paragraph in the classifieds with current and proposed new name being listed, but a newspaper reporter got a lead on it and was waiting outside of the courtroom to do an interview. I didn't know it would go AP and more, since to me it was just about getting my rightful name..

As for radio, I fell for it at 12 pretty hard, Radio Shack AM broadcast kit, CB, etc., but I had liked radio, thermometers, gauges and stuff since I was about 5, and I have a hobby interest in it, not going to school to study it or really caring to have a career in it, just thinking that if I fell into a position, that would be nice..

When I did my local Dog Station in high school every week, I'd think it would be cool to be discovered as a DJ talent and asked to go on the air at a commercial station. I did get discovered when a local all around radio guy found me through a network of his friends, and then tracked my signal down by driving around, and with a portable radio over a few months I guess.

For a while he just listened, fearful that he would scare me off of the air by making contact, so he didn't do it until he got the nerve. 'Joe Radio' was also connected with the shortwave DX scene somewhat, and he's responsible for me getting into that aspect of radio when I did, giving me tips on the frequencies, taking me to a hamfest for radio parts, and saying that there would be listeners out there waiting for signals to come on.

I had already known about pirates and hobby broadcasting from the debut Popular Communications issue which I found at a thrift store, and hearing Radio Newyork Intl. from their ship, but I guess the time wasn't right to consider out of band frequencies, so I stayed on my 1580 transmitter until I had that personal contact with the listener and DXer a few years later.

I DJed on The Dog Station every week for 7 years, with soul, album rock and disco tracks mostly, though I'd play almost anything. It was a great way to stay in touch with my music collection!

The real issue here is the right to use the name of your choice, and to have it changed legally. In fact, that's what the court would rather you to do, instead of using an alias! I know that it's unusual, but is this a free country or not? Even if there is some risk, shouldn't I be free to choose to take on that risk or not?

Boomer

This is Bullschit.." Free Boomer the Dog" I say....

For the record, "Boomer the Dog" is a close personal friend of Radio Jamba International.

THIS IS WRONG!!!! THIS JUDGE IS A F00KTARD!!!

CIVIL DIVISION No.GD10-11514
MEMORANDUM
Presently before this Court is the Verified Petition for a Name Change, filed on behalf of Gary Guy Mathews. Mr. Mathews seeks to change his name to "Boomer the Dog." In his Petition, Mr. Mathews states: "I've been known as Boomer the Dog by friends in the community for more than 20 years. I want to bring my legal name in line with that."

Pennsylvania law on the subject is well-settled. "[T]he primary purpose of the Judicial Change of Name Statute...is to prohibit fraud by those attempting to avoid financial obligations." Matter of Mclntyre, 715 A.2d 400, 402 (1998). There are, however, other considerations: "a court may properly exercise its wide discretion to refuse a requested name if the name is bizarre or unduly lengthy or difficult to pronounce or possessive of a ridiculous offensive connotation...A court must, therefore, discharge its discretion in a way as to comport with good sense, common decency, and fairness to all concerned and to the public." In re Ravitch, 754 A.2d 1287,1289 (Pa. Super. 2000).

On the record before this Court, there is no indication that Mr. Mathews is seeking the name change in order to avoid financial obligations. My concern, however, is that the proposed name change is reasonably likely to have consequences adverse to the public interest. It is easy to see that Petitioner's use of the proposed name is likely to result in confusion in the marketplace, confusion in business records and confusion in public documents. Moreover, the proposed name change would have unintended consequences, putting the public welfare at risk. Consider the following example: The Court grants Petitioner the right to use the proposed name legally and exclusively. Sometime thereafter, Petitioner witnesses a serious automobile accident and telephones for an emergency medical response. The dispatcher on the phone queries as to the caller's identity, and the caller responds, "this is Boomer the Dog." It is not a stretch to imagine the telephone dispatcher concluding that the call is a prank and refusing therefore to send an emergency medical response.

In short, because of the strong likelihood of confusion and the opportunity for adverse consequences to the public that would be engendered by the proposed name change, I am this date denying Petitioner's request. Although Petitioner apparently wishes it were otherwise, the simple fact remains that Petitioner is not a dog.
