** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Sept 11 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of 'AAAWWW'
as I quickly confirm via Maryland SSR that all four are on air: 3265,
4790-, 6160-, 7490-, but still no SuperStition on 9330. From the
outset it's clear this is going to be another Biden-bash relating to
9/11 anniversary, Afghanistan, and COVID-19; the latter of which
however A&A admit they have got shot.against the "synthetic virus".
Yet Angela goes on her anti-vax rants making Allan sound reasonably
moderate. Annoying caller Freddie soon allowed to butt in. 0027
finally date stamp as 10 Sept YOOLF 2021. Then a call from Ryan who
asks what med school Allan went to? Did not, but as he frequently
asserts is "a man of science". 0031 says quadri-casting, asks for
emails.[Allan likes to utter "kilocycles" as if it were the same as
"kilohertz". They are NOT; as a Man of Science, I know that
"kilocycles" by itself is meaningless, unless it is PER A UNIT OF
TIME, i.e. kilocycles PER SECOND, which is how Kilohertz is defined,
including the "per second" without having to specify it, otherwise
"kHz/sec" would be accelerating.]
Working on SS now. Got replacement tetrode about a week ago. Crate has
10 steel suspension springs, must be worth 5 grand. Tube sits in red
cradle. Going to get some fittings; warm up tube tonight. Filament
struxure is fascinating. Takes 19 v at 1000 amps = 19,000 watts. About
size of a large tomato can; unknown what kind of alloy, whole can
lights up and glows, takes 10-15 minutes to warm that filament up to
avoid short-circuit. Tube is water-cooled. 10 psi, 35-40 gallons per
minute, circulating thru anode sexion. Controls up to a megawatt of
power; losses tho is pretty efficient. At average modulation, draws
950 kW off powerline.
"FCC and other idiots out there will see their day in court." Etc.,
etc. 0054 checking email: Cosmikdebris from beach in DE reception
report; tomorrow evening, their 'Lumpy Gravy' thousandth episode 8 PM
ET on 6160- live from DE. Four minutes ahead of time, someone
complains that stream drops out at 53rd minute of each hour --- NOT
for me tonight! SS hopefully back on air by Monday. 0059 prayer.
John Carver's version: "Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160
and 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening talk about 9/11 and
the anniversary tomorrow. Phone call at 0009 from Freddie. Quickly
turns into some Biden bashing and Covid talk. Results in an argument
between Allan and Angela. Another phone call at 0028 asking Allan
where he studied for his medical degree. Then some talk about the
ongoing work being done to get the superstation going again. Talk
about how much power needed to heat the tube and how much water must
be pumped to keep it cool. Also a passing reference to a a veiled
threat to take the FCC to court over the WHRI sale. Long conversation
between Allan and Angela where Allan spends most of his time trying to
calm Angela down and rein her in. Reading of emails at 0054. Closing
prayer at 0059. Allan also mentioned that the superstation might be up
and running again as early as Monday. Program was off the air at 0100.
John, Mid-North Indiana" (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
