Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and kind sentiments. If the subhuman detritus that are the professional homeless (homeless by choice/lifestyle) want to keep living within sight of me, they better get used to the music that I choose for them.
I've been too busy to post an update until now and I'm still checking out all the suggested music you all have been sharing, but for now here is the latest from my end:
I took some photos of the new broadcast unit. It's not that big, about 1 foot x 1 foot square.


I'm pretty pleased with the install job. It's a lot "cleaner" in terms of having no exposed wiring compared to the previous units I've made. One of the units with exposed wiring from the original project was cut up by vandals and had to be repaired, so this one will not have that problem. The blue wires you see are just for bundling the speakers together and suspending them off the wall, they don't actually have anything to do with the power or audio input.
The whole unit is high enough off the ground where I don't think I need to tape over the volume control dials. Or at least the nogs haven't figured that out yet.
So this new unit has been broadcasting nonstop since my last post, and over the weekend it was just blasting an old playlist I had from the previous version of this project.
There was a small but immediate impact. The homeless encampment shifted about 20 ft to one side in order to get out of the area where the new broadcast is the loudest. It's not much of a shift, but I think it has pushed them out of the shade, which will make it more difficult to live there once the summer heat arrives. Also the number of shopping carts they have piled together has decreased by 1 or 2, so I was thinking maybe 1-2 of the street dwellers in the group decided to leave.
Part of the relocated encampment ended up in an area that was partially covered by my old inactive broadcast unit, so I put that one back in operation (again, using an old playlist), so now there are 2 broadcast units blasting. It is far from perfect coverage, as there is a pretty big deadzone between the 2 units, but I think I could pretty easily install a new 3rd unit to cover a lot of that deadzone, if it becomes necessary.
Starting Monday, I switched the playlist on the new broadcast to just be playing the song "Republic of South Africa" on loop, as I am hoping a single looping song will be more intolerable than a mixed multi-song playlist:
I was inspired by all the comments mentioning how low IQ individuals have to think aloud and get short-circuited by other people talking, so I picked this song which has some wordy English lyrics and a spoken word interlude.
The comments about harpsichord music really interested me. I didn't know that some people had such an averse reaction to harpsichord.
Anyway, switching the broadcast to "Republic of South Africa" on loop had a very good immediate effect. It caused the entire group to completely pack up and leave for 2 whole days, except for one junkie who was too wasted to peel herself off the concrete.
But unfortunately, now most of the group has returned. So tomorrow, I think I will change the song, see if I can put on something more annoying.
And here is the rogues' gallery, so you can see what this encampment has been like over the past week. If you can imagine, it was worse before with more shopping carts and more people, but it's bad enough as it is now, with the drug dealing, designated pissing corner, prostitution, etc. Looking over the photos now, I guess it's not all nogs, there are some potential illegals mixed in too.
Next update I will try to get a photo of the recently reactivated broadcast unit, which is a lot less refined, and get some video of the broadcast units in action.
