WOR Engineer Tom Ray Is Leaving Station

P

pjc1961

After 15 years, Tom is leaving to start his own consultancy. Under his watch, WOR was the first high-powered AM station to broadcast in HD.

Story link here.

Related: recently I've seen employment ads on the trade sites for a Clear Channel New York engineer - it's possible that the position is for WOR.

Try this one, too:

The page I was looking for has been removed. It discussed the adjacent issues with WLW while they were testing the HD.

Jeff in Sa-ra-so-ta!
 
Tom did a brilliant job with WOR, especially that tricky move in the Meadowlands!

Best of luck to him!
 
The missing article badjef was referring to in his post above could be this one from RadioWorld.com in which Tom talks about the installation of WOR's HD and its testing:

I see Tom is now writing for Radio-info.com.

He did a great job giving WDRC a great sound here in Connecticut... (Although he never managed to get the phone line audio dropout problem fixed with the phone company) :)
 
Tom is a nice person,I wish him THE BEST !

I met him at NAB as well as got a tour of the WOR transmitter site ,by him ,when I was in the area.

He ,not too long ago, had a piece in RadioWorld about hurricane Sandy and the WOR transmitter site during and after the storm.

Again ,best to you Tom.
