Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Organization: The Dorsai Embassy +1.718.729.5018 WNEW is scheduled to go off on 15 December, this date is unpublished since it is subject to change. It had originally been scheduled for 1 Dec., then 22 December. Meanwhile; WQXR-AM/1560 became WQEW on 23 November, but continued to simulcast the FM station until 10AM local time on 2 Dec. Tony Bennett threw a symbolic switch to represent the change. I spoke to the station's Chief engineer and found out that the change almost didn't happen. The actual switchover was attempted at 9:46AM with the FM Audio passing through the AM console, however a connector had come out of the back of the Distribution Amp. that fed the switching unit. The AM station had about 5 seconds of dead air during the last classical selection. *Steve Coletti A/K/A "BIG STEVE COLE" Studio Line: (212) 995-2637* * Host of CROSSBAND, The news and information program for the * * Radio, Communications and Computer Hobbist. * *Fridays via Satellite on Let's Talk Radio - S3/T21@5.8Mhz 7-9PM ET* *Sundays on Shortwave & Satellite from Radio Newyork International,* *via WWCR/7435Khz and BSN - S2/T7@7.5Mhz at 10PM ET/0300 UTC-Monday* *GEnie: S.COLETTI2 PRODIGY: BJJM02A FIDO: Big Steve 1:278/712 * *Internet: bigsteve@dorsai.com USnail: P.O.
