And what do you do in your "spare time"? LOL
That's one busy schedule.

[Astro Dave]

I write, and write, and write, ....ad nauseum


To break the boredom I read stuff like this:

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor at Seniors Medical Clinic to get a physical. A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

A couple of days later the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"

"Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.", Morris replied.

To which doctor said, "I didn't say that, Morris. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur. Be careful!!'

[phoenix]

Astro Dave will you be on tomorrow night ? :hmm:
On Mike Williams 2ue radio,online after 7 pm.



Cheers Jason :pipethinker:

[Astro Dave]

Yes Jason

We talked today and the interview will definitely be on .. sometime after 6.30pm Sydney time, he does sometimes run it a tad later.

[phoenix]

Hey Astrodave

How you going.
I heard on abc local tonight they will be having an astronomy talk on how to buy telscopes, will that be you ? :hmm:



Cheers Jason :pipethinker: p.s I will ring and give this site a plug.

[Radar]

Good to hear about the Plug Jase :thumbsupmate:

I just got off the phone to a radio announcer called Joanne at ABC. I did an interview about the Russian rocket photo. Apparently they will be playing it tomorrow morning. I'm stuck in W.A though, so I won't get to hear it.

[phoenix]

Hey Astro Dave.

I tried to call again but i couldnt get through.
Excellent interview on how to buy a telscopes. :welldone:




Cheers Jason.:pipethinker:

[Astro Dave]

G'day Jase, Radar et al

Yes, in fact I've just finished the talk and we tried to get a few callers to ring in. One guy did and we talked about scopes but that was about it. I got in some really good points about buying and using a telescope and plugged Looard the fact that astro clubs are around.

I was on station 2EC here in NSW this morning and they got a few dozen callers to the station Soooo, why are 'tassians' so aloof?

Look at the above list to find out where you can tune into other programs. Try Dave Waterman's show on alternate Sunday nights on Adelaide fiveaa, it is available on the interrnet live. I'm on with him on 4 march, usually 8.30 - 9pm Sydney time.

We talk for an hour about everything in astronomy,cosmology, etc in simple terms.

I'll try and remember to post next time I'm doing a show you guys can catch. Then ring in and promo THIS forum.

Hey Guys
Heres the link for all you astro fanatics,
who just can't get enough Astrodave :lmao:

Cheers Jason :pipethinker:

[Radar]

Cool, cheers Jase. :thumbsupmate:

[Tenacious Del]

How can I find on that link when Astro Dave will be on the radio please? Or can I just listen online at anytime?

[Astro Dave]

Dellio

Thanks for the interest. The whole idea of all this is to actively promote astronomy and amateurs like yourselves. Am I into grandstanding? Nah, don't need it. You know, just looking at the stations I am lucky enough to feature on, we get to between 3-4 million listeners a week... every week! This based on industry ratings surveys. That's a lot of people gearing about astronomy chaps.

Dellio, all ya gotta do is cut'n'paste the link to your desktop, or click on the link and 'bookmark' the page.

As I said, I'm on with Dave every 2 weeks, the next one is Sunday night March 4 so make a diary note.

Listen it would be good if you guys called up with a question but don't make it a dumb question like "is the moon really made of green cheese?" Ugh!!! UGH!! I get that every time we do a school...(3-5 times a week)

And, don't try and ask me to mathematically describe the tidal forces present at the event horizon of a super-massive black hole system. If you do, I'll get ya! Lol

[Astro Dave]

Radar

I've just been promoting MyAstroSpace on radio today. We coverd 110,000 listeners this morning across southern NSW and top of Victoria then this afternoon quite a few thousand via ABC radio Central Coast NSW.

Bad News: Mike Williams got the boot from radio 2UE Sydney guys. He said we'll get it going again when he lands another station.

[Radar]

Thanks Dave, ur like a Super Nova - very bright :thumbsupmate:

[Astro Dave]

I'll be doing the Adelaide Dave Waterman show Sunday night March 10 and again Sunday night March 17. This link should get you to the 'listen online' page.

Thanks for the link Dave, Do you mean Saturday March 10th or Sunday March 11th? and around what time?

Found this stream for 2ue, http://www.penguinradio.com/stations/2214

[phoenix]

Hey AstroDave


Are you going to be on this time? because i waited for 2hrs last time. :crying23: lol
They said they couldnt find ya :hmm:



Cheers Jason :pipethinker:

[Draig]

Hey Dave,

Why don't you do a radio show on the Western Side of Australia?

We don't bite.... that much anyway!

Cheers Colin

[Astro Dave]

G'DayJase

Last week I was due on and I waited, and waited.. then they rang and said they had "too much happening can I make it next week" - I said "Uh Huh!" I was findable mate.

Mick, my aplologies .. I got the dates mixed .... SUNDAY MARCH 11 and SUNDAY MARCH 18.

They usually call me around 8.30pm NSW time.J

[Mick]

Thanks Dave, I'll be listening. :thumbsupmate:

[Astro Dave]

OK, thanks everyone, hope it goes over well. They generally do listener call-ins and wow, do we get some good ones, varied and all manner of questions.

Col, I've tried W.A. stations but I think I'm a bit far away for them. I have done ABC Perth and is it 6PR? They don't call often.

Hmmm, might send Dusty over to pay them a visit??

[phoenix]

Hey Dave

Heard the interview very interesting indeed.
At one stage there were 3 daves on radio , very bizarre. :duh:
Whats with this matter and anti matter ? :hmm:
I'll be listening out next week, can't wait.
same time, same channel.



Cheers Jason :pipethinker:

[Astro Dave]

Thanks Jase, I knew you'd be there.

Matter - Anti-Matter is heavy stuff! By combining the two we can probably build an engine to power a 'Starship' to the speed of light ... and above?

As I said in the talk on radio, we can't make quantities of this stuff ...yet, AND no known metal can contain the reaction.

One thing will and that's the use of magnetic fields... but that's a super-science on the horizon.

Read up about matter and anti-matter on the net.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter

[Medusa]

Havent had the pleasure of listening to you Dave.
But i will try to tune in next time you are on :blink:





Medusa

[Astro Dave]

Medusa ... are you a she?

[phoenix]

Astro Dave is on Now.




Cheers jason :pipethinker:

[Astro Dave]

Check out ABC Tasmania Thurs night March 22 at 8pm east coast time. They want me on to talk about my years as a UFO investigator....

[phoenix]

Hey Dave

Awesome i'll be listening :thumbsupmate:

Sundays interview was really good too.








Cheers Jason :pipethinker:

[Draig]

They want me on to talk about my years as a UFO investigator....

:hmm: There's an opening if I ever heard one..... But I'll leave it alone.


At least for the present.

Cheers Colin

[phoenix]

Hey Dave

Another great interview :welldone:
Have never seen anything odd in the sky, except for when i have had a few drinks :duh:

With that young pilot, did they ever find plane wreckage ?




Cheers Jason :pipethinker:

[Astro Dave]

Thanks Jase, it was different talking about UFOs. Taswegians don't like ringing radio stations it seems - could have used a few more callers.

The pilot was never heard from again.. no wreckage, debris, fuel spill, nothing!!!
