Comments: Does anyone remember Floyd Turner's Radio Station? He broadcast out of his bedroom on Kingston Av. He played the music of the day and talked. He lived right across the street from me.
It wasn't long the Meatheads tracked him down with their electronic equipment and shut him down. Have no idea why, he was just having fun and had very limited range, I believe it did not even cover all of Shilo.

Comments: Hey, Greg-how are ya?
I can't recall exactly Doug and I found the wire-out back behind the PMQ's somewhere. It was easy to run the wire as our upstairs bedrooms were directly on opposite sides of Sapper Ave.
We actually had a working telegraph using model train transformers as the power sources, and copper wire and nails as the telegraph senders/receivers. There must have been just enough amperage through the wire to break the magnetic field running the nail head morse code receiver! Good thing it was such low voltage!
I remember you and Dave B. doing stuff too-you were "nerds" just like Doug & I!
I see you are in Creston-we are just north of you in Riondel on Kootenay Lake!

Comments: Such a great site, I haven't been on this site for quite awhile, feels like I haven't missed a beat with all these Shilo memories. Was there from 64 to 1970. My father was with the RCHA and my parents are both still alive. My father is a very young looking 91 year old, Russell Kaye.
Comments: Bill - I gotta ask what you and Doug were doing with the signal wire? I remember Dave Bourassa and I concocting some variation of a TeslaCoil in his basement and causing a few sparksto fly - but signal wire episode escapes me !
Comments: Edie, Doug Jordan - a parcel from me is on the way. Doug - yours should be there by the end of the week. I put a letter inside, but forgot to sign it. Edie - hopefully your parcel will arrive in GMI by the end of the month. I forgot to put the letter inside, so it will be separate. I've been doing e-mail for everything for so long, I've forgotten how to do snail mail!
Comments: You are right Edie - Ken and Lonnie keep the site going and growing. Tireless workers. Thanks to you both and to the other members of the team.

Comments: I think most of you know Ken Jenkins but do any of you know Lonnie Frankow ? If not for them, you wouldn't have THIS ShiloBrats web site. Just a little reminder.
Comments: I didn't expect another Thank-You, Doug, but I do appreciate it. I have always been a pay-it-forward person, and to the next two people who send me their mailing addresses, I will mail (or in Winnipeg, deliver) the same little keepsake to that person.
