05/23/08: Services for DJ Rambler’s father will be tomorrow at noon. 24 hours of Big Band and 50’s music will be played in his honor starting at midnight. We all love and miss you Big Daddy.

05/21/08: A very sad day here at JAJR, DJ Rambler’s father passed away at 3PM today. A veteran of both WWII and Korea and a retired fire Lt. with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. He is survived by his wife, 4 sons, 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.

05/07/08: Long time no type. Lots of things have been going on here, some good some not. Major electrical repairs at the studio have kept us busy for some time, digging by hand in this coral rock is no fun trust me, “life is a ditch, can ya dig it?” Personal, legal and financial problems have taken there toll too but we won’t get into that here. I will say this, I’m really beginning to dislike lawyers, remember this, there’s law and there’s justice but never shall the two meet. Between FPL, Bellsouth network hardware and web server failures we have been down way more than I like. Just replaced the main router that was causing the dead “Listen Live” link and the webcam failures. Software issues have also been causing some problems where the same song plays over and over till someone calls or emails me to say PLEASE FIX IT! Or until I discover it myself. Our weather reports have been failing for over a month now, don’t know when that will be fixed, I may have to discontinue it. For all those that have submitted CDs in the last month please bear with me, I will get them on the air as soon as I can.

01/19/08: The “Now Playing – Previously Played” webpage has been redone, now there is album art and a link for the now playing and up next songs that will take you to the Amazon website where you can buy the album that the song is on. Of course this only works if we have the album correct in the songs file tag, it is on an album not just a single and it is actually available for sale, check it out!

01/12/08: The 128 bit MP3 stream went down for a day due to several power outages at the station that locked up the streaming server plug-in. Thank you FPL.

01/04/08: The streams are finally back up and running, came back up at 6:09 PM EST. Longest outage in over 2 years! We really try our best to keep things running 100% but some things are beyond our control. Hope everyone’s holidays were great! Stay tuned in and enjoy the free radio while it lasts. Don’t forget, you can email us and let us know how we are doing and let us know if there is something you would like to hear. We do our best to give you our listeners what you want to hear.
DJ Rambler has spoken. =)

01/02/08: The streams are still down today. It turns out to be a problem with our streaming provider, they burned up their server and are currently trying to get a temporary server in place to get us back up and running while they can put a permanent replacement in its place.  Hopefully this won’t take too much longer.
