U S A. Area 51 and WBCQ 7490 webcasts, UT Sat July 25 at 0001 both
playing William Tell Overture theme to AAAWWW. Angela is tropically
dressed tonight, but they are back in Maine where air conditioning is
not really necessary, since the AC in the studio broke years ago; they
do have a fan? to cool the equipment. Angela does not like AC anyway
as unhealthy.Allan soon answers my question about why WBCQ-6 is missing from 9330
so much: has been off 6-7 hours in the daytime while riggers and crew
have been working to replace supports for transmission lines; in
winter winds they had been too loose allowing the lines to short out.
Checking Rochester remote, 6160 & 5130 also on now but not
synchronized. 0058 recheck, in benedixion, and 7490 on to Hal Turner
precisely joined at 0100.It seemed other frequencies were not on earlier during 23 UT hour, but
checked direct at 0101, 6160- and 7490+ about equally good levels with
HT while 5130 is in sign-off classical music I am trying to remember
what it be. However, at 0104, 5130 joins HT, also // 9455 WRMI. But
0134 recheck, 5130 is off.9330, July 25 at 1341 is off again, but had been on at night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
