WTWW was last heard Friday

Tennessee's newest shortwave station in Lebanon,Tennessee,The ALL NEW WTWW,was last heard from yesterday by Not only yours truly,but Glenn Hauser in Oklahoma.Between 01:32 to 147 UT,he heard the same canned announcements and test music,possibly from a CD dubbed to cassette tapes.Here is the log GH posted:** U S A. 5755, WTWW testing again UT Jan 15 around 0142 and 0147 with same ID and probably same music loop as before. Carrier and modulation off and on several times as needed: 0213 off, 0218 OC, 0219 not
audible.

George McClintock tells me that altho problems are being worked out, a lot more full-power testing is needed, especially on 9480 which would be on the air Friday afternoon. Does not plan to finalize programming until after HFCC, which is Feb 1-5 in Kuala Lumpur. He`s also too busy now to verify reception reports but will eventually have a QSL card; there is no contact info on the website http://wtww.us (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

From what i gather,the station might move to 9480 for further testing.George plans to be at the Raddio Conference in Feb,2010 to drum up support of his new station.There is no contact inffo on the WTWW site,but a user on youtubegoing by the callsign,posted a video showing the work by George And David at thier site near Nashville.
That's all i have right now,but will continue to updates as needed,so keep it here and on"World Of Radio" with Glenn Hauser for late breaking news.

I am listening to WTWW on 4.475 MHz at this moment. They are Broadcasting a Christmas special right now. The Date here is 12-13-2014. They are fading in and out somewhat but it is a clear signal through and through. I am using a dipole cut for the CB band. The time here is 2025 hours UTC.
