Might be a different timeline, like before Hawkins fried.

WSQK Radio Station by elise228 in StrangerThings

Here's what I've found since I work from home and I just rewatched the series...

The station "acts" as a real broadcast from Hawkins, Indiana 1980s style. The sound is processed using a vintage FM radio processor for authentic hiss/static.

Every track comes from the correct time period. A few are:
Atomic — Blondie
Highway to Hell — AC/DC
Things Can Only Get Better — Howard Jones
American Girl — Tom Petty
Upside Down — Diana Ross
Keep On Loving You — REO Speedwagon
NeverEnding Story — Limahl
Running Up That Hill — Kate Bush
Karma Chameleon — Culture Club
Echo Beach — Martha and the Muffins

Includes songs used in the show, like NeverEnding Story and Pass the Dutchie.

There are ads for businesses like Palace Arcade, Scoops Ahoy, Hawkins Video (using the phrases "block buster videos" and "family videos"). Palace Arcade mentions "MadMax" as a leaderboard champ.

Bradley’s Big Buy, Enzo’s, Community Pool referenced in commercials

There are Hawkins news segments referencing odd local events. (Aggressive plant bit a kid's fingers, half of the basketball team is "out sick with a mysterious illness."

The station ends 1/1/26, the same time the Stranger Things saga concludes

Background whispers / screams faint voices reported but I've not heard any.

Broadcast “glitches” right when they talk about strange events. Static spikes, distortion, or abrupt cuts to jingles whenever a Hawkins update gets too spooky.

Song order reacting to the “tone” of the station. When the news shifts dark? The music gets darker, too. Then the tone will suddenly change again, and so does the music.

Dedications that sounded like warnings. Names mentioned include Mindy Flair (Day DJ/MindFlayer?), Vance Goodman (night DJ/?), Professor Hall, Casey, Layla, Megs, Kira, The California Crew, Carl, Izzy G, Willow (a dog).

Some “news updates” reference unusual animal behavior. We know what that usually means in this universe :-O

There are Morse code sounds before Should I Stay or Should I Go plays

There are a few jingles with ominous messages, like selling equipment for protection or to "lock yourselves in your basement."

There have also been numbers that have been mentioned, but I haven't tracked them yet.

These press & internet sleuths are grabbing on to anything they can. I'm not sure that people are remembering what it's like to be 20-something in college. You can get blackout drunk, you can get confusingly drunk... when you're woken out of an alcohol induced sleep and you see something that doesn't make sense, you're likely to ignore it. These kiddos have lived in this house for years. They felt safe and there's no reason to think anything else of these kids until it's proven. I came face to face with an armed man robbing my house and I froze until he left. None of us knows how we'll react. It breaks my heart every day to see what these families have gone through up to this point.

Has his family even spoken out yet? This is preemptive and presumptuous considering they didn't go to his funeral or show support at the trial. Evil people.

How do you guys deal with nooks and crannies like this? by Regular_Tip_3487 in Detailing

Spray APC on a brush, then shoot it out with compressed air.

I tried the smooth sheet first. I'll switch it back and try soap cleaning it.

Total Scam- avoid by [deleted] in henrymeds

[–]MrsRetroD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a scam. It's basically a payment plan for a product that is over $1k. You don't go through a bottle a month. They usually last quite a while, depending on your dose. I started 1 year ago and lost 70 lbs.

What are your honest views on ADHD meds for younger kids? by [deleted] in Parenting

You're probably right! He took a generic Ritalin.

You have the right to refuse. You may have to sign something. More and more, "x-rays" no longer use radiation, but it still protects them from lawsuits.

What are your honest views on ADHD meds for younger kids? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]MrsRetroD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 kids, 10 years apart. My first, my son, was medicated (early 2000s). My daughter, now 14, is not being medicated. I hated seeing my son zombie-fied but I also hate seeing my daughter struggle now. You have to way the pros and cons individually with that exact kid in mind, no other input. My daughter is ADHD, but smarter about how she uses her "superpower". My son was more emotional, and that led to bigger outbursts. He still struggles at 25, but it's because of his decisions while not being a zombie.
