Christmas Music ETA guesses

har har har. trust me i've heard ground hum on various stations. this is very faint it may or may not be static i don't know.

I wish he would

1)kill the stereo carrier

or

2) go stereo (what a concept)

but if he doesn't have a stereo license, isn't sending stereo a violation of the license?

There is no license for stereo operation. No violation. A lot of stations play the music in stereo,while the commercials are recorded and played back in mono,especially on older computer systems. It takes up less storage space.
 
.wavs take up a crap load of space (i should know)

(if they even use .wavs in radio)

Bob, Did you ever know Don Fleming? Don worked with me in Cocoa Beach at WRKT in the late 60's and went back to JAX to become Chief Engineer of the Jones College stations? Just a shot in the dark if you knew him? BIG APE!

I've got to chime in on the "Stereo" thing.

Back in about 1970 I worked as an assistant to Ernie Harralson, the Chief Engineer at WPDQ (AM-600) and WRLJ (FM 96.9) in Jacksonville.

Our brand new stereo generator crapped out and we were on an old mono tube exciter while the new one was being fixed.

As suspected the programming staff was complaining about us not being in stereo.

After a few days of complaints, Ernie got an audio oscillator, set it to 19khz (kcs back then) and used a clip lead to connect it into the tube exciter.

The 19khz lit the stereo light on stereo receivers. We were of course still in mono.

Ernie begins to immediately be congratulated on getting us back in stereo. Some went as far as to say, boy it sure sounds great to be back in stereo.

None of us ever said anything.

Well, that's my only beef about being stereo when your mono. It just gives it some background static when the signal is on the fringe

Until I visited Canada, I thought ALL 100 KW stations were in stereo.. BZZZZZZZ

and hearing them go off at midnight makes me think of the old days. flip the switch then Tampa comes in.

I know Don very well. It's been a couple of months since we last spoke.

He was doing fine.
