About Me

My photo
J Kilowatt
I am a highly musical person who loves the craft and process of radio well produced. I have little patience for those who view their channel as a commodity. I have been slow to adopt on-line music because of how degraded it sounds at 256KB/s, compared to the native CD WAV file format. For more insight into what makes me tick, see my first post. If you like what you see, post me a comment. I enjoy hearing from my fellow HFS listeners. And check back every so often. There are more legacy items to come.
