Hey Dazza! Aside from long-lost radio stations, how are you doing? I haven't been around much, I'm over on Facebook mostly these days!

Hey, what's up? I've been enjoying your entries on your Japan visit. You had a way better NYE than I did.

I'm mostly promoting myself on MySpace, got a few gigs, but overall may be facing the wall on having to move back to NJ. I hope not--I love Florida! I'm having lots more fun here.

That sucks! I remember I was able to get em in from the JC. But when I hung out with my buddies on Staten Island? it came in clear and I remember hearing stuff like Buzzcocks "Ever Fallen in Love" and The Saints "I'm Stranded"

I'll bet that was during the WHTG glory days, which ended in 2000. The station was never the same after Press Communications took it over. After nearly running it into the ground for almost five years, they actually did a decent turnaround starting in 2005. They still weren't in the league of the early days of WHTG, but with their 80s weekends and punk shows, at least they were trying.

Not only does Z100 come in loud and clear in Monmouth/Ocean/Middlesex County, but Q102 in Philadelphia also comes in easily. Further south in 106.5 territory, there's also WAYV in Atlantic City. So yeah, fail.

Edited to correct spelling and grammar errors.
