Radio Paradise

Posted: Nov 9, 2018 - 3:20pm
When I heard about the fire I turned on Radio Paradise and was reassured that maybe things weren't as bad as reported. But learning that Bill and Rebecca don't live in Paradise anymore, maybe it is bad there. Glad at least that Bill and Rebecca are out of danger. The air where I live in the Bay area is bad won't get a sunset even.

Glad to hear you guys are safe. But so sorry to hear that the town is gone and people are missing. Don't know anything about Paradise, CA but you folks have lots of folks up here in Toronto that depend on your one of a kind radio station. Nothing in the world that I know of compares to RP. Lossless streaming and amazing database technology to weave a new story every day.

Yes, we still have family in Chico. We were there yesterday visiting them & saw first-hand the chaos of the evacuation (as well as the smoke). They're all fine, and fully prepared to leave if they need to.

Hi Bill and Rebecca! Thanks for the update and stay outta harm's way. We can wait if need be. {#Hearteyes}

Very relieved to learn that you and Rebecca are okay. I hope your family, friends and neighbors are okay, too.

So happy to hear you guys are safe. Rebecca has been living in the back of my head for almost 10 years now. She knows exactly what I want to hear. I can't imagine a day without you. Thoughts and money to your friends and family. https://www.nvcf.org/fund/camp-fire-evacuation-relief-fund/?fbclid=IwAR18GeXwMorK8J9sohyfmOkEZOCkbjSsU-Ml3Zeq_Gv9ZtRrhElcTmcCz4Q thanks for all you do.

Bill, I'm so glad you're safe. I was listening to KPIG this morning, and Ralph Anybody mentioned that you were living in Paradise and wished you well. He also mentioned that you were responsible for getting KPIG on the Internet and how cool it was that you enabled it to be the first station streaming online. I called him up and told him that you weren't living in Paradise anymore so you were safe. Next break he came on the air and reported what I told him. Just thought you might like to know your old pals at KPIG are thinking of you!

Ditto! Glad Bill and Rebecca and Radio Paradise are not in Paradise any more. 80% of Paradise has been destroyed according to the news 30 minutes ago. Heart breaking.

Was listening to the Main Mix yesterday when I saw the news, and was very worried. Glad you're not there. The whole town is on fire! We are choking on the same smoke way down here in Silicon Valley today. Smelled it inside the house as soon as we woke up this morning, and it made our eyes tear when we went outside. Must be horrible.

I am glad you guys are OK. I am in the bay area (San Carlos) and the smoke/haze is pretty bad here. Have you heard any Amateur Radio communication in your area?

i think i remember something being said about not being located exactly in paradise

of course i could be mistaken

but yeah glad they're safe and sad that the fires have taken a serious toll

Just did some checking and its a very large area. Have family in Chico to the east and they have been evacuated. Fire is burning 80 acres a minute. 0% contained. Santana's blowing. People escaping from Paradise had to get out of their cars due to gridlock and run on foot. Not looking good. Deaths reported but not confirmed.
