** U S A. 5085, Aug 22 at 0202, this WTWW is back on the air with
Truth2Ponder, VG signal direct, S9+50/60! George McClintock informs me
before 1600 that will try 9475 again later today. Good news: the
factory in Germany is so concerned about the failure of their
transmitter that they are sending someone over next week to work on
it. The other transmitter, #1 is a ``total disaster, fell apart``, and
there is no one to blame but -- you know who. 5085 only is again on
air at 0130 check August 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
``Call me a geek if you like, but over the past several months, your
Propagation Outlook on World of Radio, has become the high point of my
week. Before the cycle commenced, experts were predicting it would be
one of the weakest cycles in centuries. Well, cycle 25 has confounded
the experts. Solar flux above 300. I'm making the best of it because
I'm now at an age when this may well be the last Solar Max I get to
experience. Thanks for all your valuable information. Doug Brown,
London ON``
