Wow, you're so like, clever, copying what I do... monkey see, monkey do.

You've even got Ulysses so impressed that he's ready to blow you.
Awesome job!

decades ago.

I got my license in 1964...letters are WA3***. I preferred Morse Code
over voice, and still have a semi-automatic bug.(I got it from
Lafayette Radio Electronics.....if you remember them.) I had a
tri-band quad on a 35 foot tower until an ice storm destroyed the
quad. I then got a tri-band beam with a Ham IV rotor and used that
until a tornadoe touched down and took down the whole thing. I still
have my license but I'm also inactive.

are radio stations that now have streaming on websites and some of the
police scanners (cities) are online..

Not really. A troll is a troll:
http://www.ask.com/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,
extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an
online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of
provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting
normal on-topic discussion.
"radio waves" has nothing to do with PS.
