[IRCA] An interesting post from the radio-tech list

["Chuck Hutton" <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

Here's a recent post from the radio-tech list:


AM DXing still brings me enjoyment. However, as a station chief many 
years ago in Mississippi, it was more problematic. A few high and 
mighty DX "experts" declared a jihad against our station first 
complaining in print in a DX magazine that our station did not reduce 
power at sunset on a handful of dates. Then they began sending 
letters and making phone calls the the Commission.  The GM and I 
compared their complaints for time and date to our xmtr logs and 
found we were in compliance, yet these 2 DXers continued to harrass 
our GM and even our owner. It was our secretary (a Florida State 
grad) that noted these "DX experts" were in a part of Florida that 
was just inisde the Eastern time zone, while the Magnolia state is 
in  the Central time zone. And their figures were exactly one hour 
off...... A quick letter to these "experts" and to the magazine 
publisher from our station's attorney quelled the phone calls and 
triggered an in print apology from the magazine. Never heard a word 
from the Commission. I guess that shows how much clout they
have..............
