HI CHRIS;
THANK YOU FOR DELIVERING ALL THE POSITIVE VIBS INTO MY SYSTEM WHENEVER I WANT THEM.
I never ever got disappointed with your stream  when  I was  in desperate need of balancing or raising  my soul.
Best regards right from the heart

Just a quick thank you for sending out Jah Vibes throughout the internet with your Scratch Radio. I listen a lot to your excellent selection of tunes. Keep spreading the vibes ....

Kind regards, DubMatrix (not to be confused with DubMatix)

I've discovered your facebook and I'm pleased to see your activity growing :)

My first post ? 2005 !! How fast the life goes with scratch's music !!!!

I've been listening for years. You bring something to me and others that simply cannot be quantified in words. Please don't ever shut this down. And if you must, please please make your most awesome, highest of all highs, playlist available to us...
 
Scratch radio is an immense part of my life...

Big ups from Milan, Italy! Thank you for spreading these good vibes. Irie!

I have never contacted you before, but have tuned in many times, and it seems impossible to turn off. Always huge.
Sugar Minott recorded one of my tunes in 1995, released on Rare Gems in 2002, credited incorrectly - imagine that! Watch Your Back - track 9 actually recorded in Tulsa Oklahoma in 95. He was here preforming at Reggaefest. We had met ten years previous - finally it happened. Seriously, your broadcast is always such an inspiration. Please hit me back and let me know where and who you are. I would like to donate but not a big fan of online transactions. Thanks.

Love your station.  Love the earlier music and DUB!!  Can’t send you anything now , but will in the near future.
Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for putting this music out there. So many wonderful words and tunes......it makes me so happy and gives me strength...

Peace and Culture

I just discovered your radio station, and I really love this music; When I was a younger boy, I listened this kind music when I was a student.
As i studied in Holland, (weed is allowed) I was enyoing the roots reggae music, all lee perry recordings, studio one coxson etc. I have a enourmous collection on tape (casette) but it looses quality........You bring me back twentyfive years back in my life, without worries, children and free as a bird in a tree....
 
Thanks Chris, I really love it, go on, you have found a new listener of your radio station...
 
Greetings and blessings

Listening from Paris.

Merry christmas from Leeds England.  Thank you for your wonderful radio station, which I listen to every day now.  For this alone it is worth having the internet at home.  I love listening to all the tunes you play and discovering new artists that I hadn't heard of before.  The map makes me feel like I belong to a world wide family where there is always someone on line with me.  So seasons greetings to all listeners around the world, and especially to Chris for all the music.  one love

I just love the sounds you broadcast.
A few years ago I used to go to London to grab some old vinyls in some Brixton's records shops.
But your radio is just magic : now we can listen to those great sounds at home !

Thanks for the great tunes!  I just found Scratch recently while surfing on-line reggae radio.

man, just wanna say
‘bout the music ... we love you

Hallo my name is Sascha, i listen to your great musik for the third time today. it is so great shiny that it makes me dance several times and not just me!!!
Now i know that i truely love your station!!!
From now I tune in whenever i can.

Love and Peace

I just want to drop a line of humble thanks in return for all the fantastic music. Thank you ever so much for spreading GOOD peace/love vibrations on the internet. I'm doing my best to spread it in the air.

Good day! I really have to say that your station "Scratch" is one of the best I have ever heard, and I've listened to dozens of stations.

I found your station using "Radio Tower."Sometimes I have problems connecting, but usually it comes in loud and clear.

Your station brings back so many happy memories.  I worked in Jamaica in the 1970's and part of the '80's as a teacher in government schools. When I first went there I didn't know much about the different types of Jamaican music, but after being there for a long time and visiting for many years as a tourist it really started to grow on me. I'm at the point where I can't live without it and I'm looking for it all the time. I used to attend musical events in Jamaica, and even met some personalities in the music industry, mostly by accident.

I have a large collection of cassettes that I had made by record stores and from the radio from back in those days. I don't play them much anymore because there are so many other media, but I think they include some "musical treasures," some of them quite rare.

I'm originally from New York but now I call Virginia my home. I've also lived and worked in Florida, New Jersey, California, France and the Middle East where I am now. I came to work in this part of the world after I left Jamaica for the first time in 1982.

Keep up the great work with your station,and say Hello to Rita. Have a fantastic day and receive the blessings of The Most High!

Hope you had a merry xmas and a happy new year.  Thanks for the years worth of tunes.  Looking forward to another year.  Best of luck in 2010.

Greetings!
iam a regular listener of your radio station. i play it when i start working and love music i hear.

GREETINGS FROM SPAIN!

Since discovering Scratch radio, end '06, it still gives me (and some who use the pc too:) great joy, and I was since then thinking about showing gratitude. A lot of tunes touch the soul and still some unknown artist come along the winamp too. Lets hope it helps somewhat to keep Scratch radio in the air with your works on the ground.

Man,

I love your radio.  I found it in the Amarok (linux music player) in july and I can't listening other thing, only the scrach radio.
I live in Brazil (the map in your page mark 'Campinas' when i'm linstening) and I promoted the scrach radio in my blog (http://ummundoverde.wordpress.com), in my twitter (http://twitter.com/leocruz0) and to my friends.
Can you tell me something about the radio?
Again, congratulations.
Sorry about my terrible english, ok?

Just found you on a web search since my goto roots reggae favorite link appears to be down. What a happy coincidence to find - AMAZING selector. I'm goona to learn so much listening and reading your site - I couldn't be happier right now! Thanks for putting the truly great stuff out there. I'm in pacific beach, san diego ca - where are you?
Best,
Jessica

Thank you for your radio!  I listen to it everyday.  By the way I made a small donation.  Keep on with the good work.

Hi! I have been listening to your station for more than two years. Really nice..  I am from Greece but currently living in China near Beijing. The city is called Tianjin. Nowadays I turn the volume higher than usual because I live beside a noisy crowded street. So it is good to hear some cool relaxing music. So thanx for your station an for the excellent music (by the way this kind of music is called "lei gui" in Chinese and it means ghost music.. Don’t ask me why..)

thanks for this life saving wonderful radio station!!!!!

I am developing internet radio for iphone. I like your station a lot.

Our current version of application won't handle m3u,xml links. Do you have a direct url address to access mp3 live streaming? We would like to add your station to our application.

Several friends in Japan mentioned about your station. Thank you for sending cool vibe in the web!

Hello my name is Denise Thompson and I was wondering if I speak with you about your website.

I attend Washington University in St. Louis MO.  The name of our class is Rebel Music: History and Influence of Jamaican Music. My instructor is Mr. David Rowntree. I wanted to ask you about your site and how you got started and why you like Reggae. Just a feel simple questions. Thanks for providing this outlet for all the fans of Reggae music.

Greetings from a Swiss fan.
I can’t live without Scratch radio.
Thank you so much for this  perfect riddim.
Respect.

hi dear unknown friend

I am a regular fan of your station in the beautyful island of saint lucia in the west indies
 
thank you.

I've been listening to your station lately.  Really enjoying..

Thanks for the music – loooooooooooooooooooooove it.

Keep it up.

i am from germany and i listen in your radio station scratch about 4-6 hours a day.
i will coninue to enjoy Scratch Radio as long as you play such great music ! !

Congratulations for durability !

I'm still listening your programs for more than 3 years now !

Stay tunes !

I am new to your station but I'm loving every minute!  I currently live in South Florida but am originally from London, England.  Listening to your station reminds me of the days when my parents use to have house parties.  My mother says it was a common thing back in the 60's in London because many immigrants from the West Indies (particularly Jamaica) did not have any other forms of entertainment.  I was a young child at the time, but I still remember the good times.  I have been an avid collector of reggae music from the Rocksteady to Roots Reggae era for about 20 yrs now.  However, it's getting harder to find certain songs or people who appreciate this type of music.  I happened across this website from a link on radiotime.com.  I have saved your webpage as a favorite on my computer and will definitely check in often.  Thank you keeping the memory alive.

I'm from Cambridge in England.  I was a school teacher in Christiana and Mandeville in 1977/78.  Scratch Radio takes me straight back to my evenings marking homework by the radio.  I love it.

Best wishes from

my name is Vladimir Veljkovic and I live in Novi Sad, Serbia. Although I am a great fan of the 70's, I decided to open first site about 70's for former Yugoslavia listeners.
Pleasently surprised with your stations, especially Roots Reggae, I finally crossed my fingers and ask you is it possible to ad link and stream of this station.
My site is still on construction, hoping that will be finished by the end of June(yeah right). The name of the site will be 70'splus and in the beginning it will only about music. Adding link of your station I hope that you could find more visitors from ex-Yugoslavia.
Expecting your kind answer,

sincerely,
Vladimir

Reggae is the rythm of life!

Much Respect!
All the best

hola,
I absolutely love your radio station - I came across it on shoutcast and think it is by far one of the best online radio stations I've ever listened to (and I have a very broad musical taste, from punk, hip-hop, drum&bass and dance) - big respect! But is there any chance you can broadcast at a higher bitrate than 24kbps so that when I crank up the speakers to skank to some of the best Jamaican sounds I can truly appreciate the genius of the rocksteady rhythms?? :)

Keep on pumping out the amazing tunes! Yours gratefully, an Englishman in Madrid,

Thanks a lot for the music; you make our days at the office much better.
Thanks again - www.viccaverde.com

thank you! i have been listening for two days straight, i always wanted a ska/rocksteady/reggae station like this, and just found it. most others repeat the tracks after an hour of listening, not the case with you over these two days. also a lot of the time the others will throw something in there that completely throws the vibe off, again not the case.

great taste, great vibe, and great DJing. thanks a lot ill be your newest regular.

I would like to thank for the keep active this radio, i have been showing to my friends and everybody what listen says: Wow, that is incredible, very cool, well.....is that i think....Thanks a lot for playing many musics what are very difficult to find in other radios. The true roots reggae. Ahh, i want let a little part of the one music from a brazilian roots reggae band: Mato Seco - "The free walking of a man neither money can buy"

Sorry by my english, but i am trying!!!    PEACE....PEACE....PEACE!!!! JAH GUIDE!!
