Subject: Possible Equipment Overnight at Full Power for WABV-AM 1590
Abbeville, South Carolina

 

My Chief Engineer William Boyd and I will be taking WABV-AM 1590 in
Abbeville, South Carolina off the air in the mid afternoon to facilitate
some much needed repairs on the station here.

 

We will be replacing transmission cable along with replacing the ATU(Antenna
tuning unit) and tweaking the audio a little bit. We SHOULD be done by mid
evening on Wednesday (tomorrow) February 6th.

 

I will test for an hour beginning at 12:01AM at full power with jingles,
morse code and maybe a few tunes.

 

This is contingent on us repairing everything on time, which I don't see any
reason why we won't finish on time.

 

PLEASE pass this along to other members, lists and websites.

 

I WILL QSL/Verify anyone who hears this impromptu test. NO E-QSL Service and
NO mp3s/digital audio files will be accepted by email. ALL Requests MUST be
sent by regular mail with a self addressed stamped envelope. I will accept
CD's or casette tapes. If using a cassette. PLEASE DO NOT send me the entire
hour with the tape at the very beginning.. cue it up to where I need to
listen.  If sending a cd, please indicate with a short note attached to the
CD what tracks I should be looking for and listening to.

 

NO PHONE CALLS at all during the test. As soon as it's over, I'm going to
bed.

 

Now, that being said, I PROMISE another Full Power Test a little later in
the year with plenty more notice for everyone.

 

My contact mailing address for QSL's is below.
