** U S A. 6159.93, April 11 at 0646, S9 of dead air from WBCQ, no
TOMBS. I suspect no one at station keeps an ear on this overnight,
tsk2. Surely there be someone on staff who can`t get enough BS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. ``Glenn, The squeal on WWCR is caused by the solid state
modulator control card telling the transmitter controller that the
power module associated with that control card is ready to come on
line but the power module is not working properly. The controller
tries to fire the non-working power module. This causes a hole in the
audio which is perceive as a SQUEAL on air. I have had problems at
WTWW with this after repairing power modules that still had a problem.
George McClintock, 4-11-2024`` (via Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO
2238)
** U S A. WTWW update from George McClintock before 2359 UT April 10;
working OK now, 9475 power being increased gradually. Had to clean out
some horrible green stuff Ted`s stepson had put in it. Bob may be
adding a musical program (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, April 11 at 0647, S5/S7 of music. R. Vanuatu has
been reliable lately around this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
