WBOB 600 kHz MAINTENANCE TEST— Saturday Midnight to 3 AM Eastern Time (0400-0700 UTC)

Late word arrives via Paul Walker, a broadcaster and member of the Courtesy Program Committee, that WBOB 600 kHz in Jacksonville, FL will be doing some maintenance testing in about 24 hours, starting at Midnight, Saturday morning May 14 until 0300 Eastern Time.

No word on what programming will consist of, nor do we have any QSL information. However, this is a great chance to log this station.
There is also a possibility of another maintenance test from the station starting at Midnight on Sunday morning and running until 0300 Monday morning. But no decision has been made yet.

More details as we receive them. Please circulate this news widely on social media, email lists, etc.

May be another of their maintenance periods disrupting schedule. At 0624 I
had big dead carrier on 13840, nothing on 11725. At 0705, 11725 on with
programming, 13840 off. Glenn

Perhaps RNZ was using the Thomson transmitter from 1990 instead of the usual
2006 Thomson unit? The older transmitter, which is kept as a backup, has
been reported to be quite temperamental in its advanced age.

ASC
an excellent song contest from the USA and its 50 states,
even an America-Samoa participant from the Pacific
heard yesterday night.

yesterday in "SERVUS GERMANY" TV - semi-final with 11 US states,

compared to the OVERTIME EuroVision Contest
there were excellent singers at the ASC American Song Contest.
I liked the program very much.

https://www.servustv.com/unterhaltung/v/aalwxwly5b4ml2fld7r8/

https://www.servustv.com/unterhaltung/b/american-song-contest/aazfx3tzucv0mdgkgj0a/

especially the Chloe singer from North Dakota
https://www.servustv.com/unterhaltung/v/aalwxwly5b4ml2fld7r8/
from 35th to 39th minute
I liked it very much. A very classy excellent voice.

I also liked the presentation of 3 girls from CALIFORNIA state,
a Chinese, Thai and Indian national
short excerpt 0.44, 1.09
as well as the presentation at 00.59m.45s to 01h.04m

and who likes it, - I do:
Michael Bolton singer from Connecticut at 44.00 to 48.55 m/sec
one voice, one singer, without any design frills.

The American Song Contest is the U.S. counterpart to the
of the Eurovision Song Contest, where instead of different countries, the
the 50 U.S. states, the capital Washington, D.C., and five
and five US territories compete against each other.
