More Testing and Live Callin on WTWW Last Night

Tennessee's newest shortwave station,WTWW,was testing again yesterday UT Saturday beginning at 16:00 UT first on 9480 then switching to 9475 due to the Nauen relay of Family Radio to Europe at that hour.
ted Randall at 3:00 UT was holding A LIVE CALL IN! He took calls from parts of the world but i could barey pull it in on the longwir coax i constructed in 2000 when i was using it on the old retired uniden CR 2021.
I know that there may not be further testing near the date when George goes to Malasyia for the HFCC Conference(As told in previous entry).
During daytime hours the 100 KW Continental works fine with the Log periodic antenna.

BTW,the prvous station's webste IS STILL UP! it was KAIJ.

it has a lot more photos there,including One of the transmitters currently testing from Lebanon,Tennessee!
Well,it has been a good week listening to the new station testing,playing Fats Domino,Neil Diamond,Elton John,etc.what's next is possibly programming,more likely a Ted Randall Cal In Show like the one on WBCQ and WWCR! Well,gotta wrap up for now,but keep an ear out and send ted a report.He'll be glad to hear from you! Brainy
