*** Date rescheduled to Feb. 8, 2008 at midnight ***
My Chief Engineer William Boyd and I will be taking WABV-
AM 1590 in Abbeville, South Carolina off the air in the mid
afternoon to facilitate some much needed repairs on the
station here.
We will be replacing transmission cable along with
replacing the ATU(Antenna tuning unit) and tweaking the
audio a little bit. We SHOULD be done by mid evening on
Wednesday (tomorrow) February 6th.
I will test for an hour beginning at 12:01AM at full power
with jingles, morse code and maybe a few tunes.
This is contingent on us repairing everything on time,
which I don't see any reason why we won't finish on time.
PLEASE pass this along to other members, lists and
websites.
I WILL QSL/Verify anyone who hears this impromptu test.
NO E-QSL Service and NO mp3s/digital audio files will be
accepted by email. ALL Requests MUST be sent by regular
mail with a self addressed stamped envelope. I will accept
CD's or casette tapes. If using a cassette. PLEASE DO NOT
send me the entire hour with the tape at the very
beginning.. cue it up to where I need to listen. If sending
a cd, please indicate with a short note attached to the CD
what tracks I should be looking for and listening to.
NO PHONE CALLS at all during the test. As soon as it's
over, I'm going to bed.
Now, that being said, I PROMISE another Full Power Test a
little later in the year with plenty more notice for everyone.
My contact mailing address for QSL's is below.
Regards,
Paul B. Walker, Jr.
