Re: [IRCA] [DX-tip] WFIL and WNTP Off air tonight

["Rene Tetro" <rtetro@xxxxxxxxx>]

The work for tonight on WFIL and WNTP has been postponed so we won't be
signing off as planned.  I'll let you know when we reschedule the shut
downs.

Subject: [DX-tip] WFIL and WNTP Off air tonight

 

FYI..

 

WNTP, 990, Philadelphia will be signing off at 00:00 ET tonight for
maintenance.  The length of the outage is indefinite, but will probably last
at least 2 hours, but it could be most of the night depending on what we
find once we get into the project. 

 

Also, WFIL, 560, Philadelphia will be signing off at 02:00 ET tonight for
maintenance.  This outage will last about 90 minutes.

 

Both stations are replacing RF Contactors (switches) and other components
that were damaged or destroyed (some would say "fried") during a recent
lightning storm.

 

In any event, WNTP will return to the air no later than 05:00 ET, and WFIL
no later than 04:00 ET.

 

These planned outages may provide some DX opportunities on 560 and 990 in
the northeast tonight.

 

73,
