[IRCA] Art Bell - Surprise announcement

[AM-DXer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW)]

In case you didn't catch Coast to Coast AM last night, Art spent the
first hour of the program explaining that the reason he has been missing
from the show the past couple of weekends is that he went to the
Philippines and married a young Filipino girl (in her early 20s) who he
recently met on the Internet. You may recall that Art, who is about to
turn 61, became a widower when he lost his wife Ramona in January. 

Art said that a ham radio friend, who lives in the midwest, set up the
Internet meeting between him and his new bride. The ham radio friend
also accompanied Art to the Philippines and married the sister of the
girl that Art married in a double wedding ceremony. 

Art also announced that he will be leaving Pahrump Nevada at the end of
April and moving to the Philippines! He will continue to do the weekend
C2C program from there. He praised Clear Channel for being supportive of
him and said that they are working to establish an ISDN line back to the
US from his new residence on the 19th floor of a building in Manilla.

Art said that he will likely sell his 5 acre ranch in Pahrump which he
described as having two luxury houses and the biggest ham radio antenna
of its kind in the country. As I recall he has a huge elevated
horizontal loop. He also plans to sell most of his possessions including
several cars, his motorhome, ham radio equipment, several plasma TVs,
and other electronics. He offered a fax number for contact with the
person who has power of attorney for the sale of his property. He said
he will retain ownership of KNYE-FM and has hired a new GM to run it.
