He is the former GM and still a partner at WWCR, and also has been managing KAIJ near Dallas. On January 31, FCC accepted the application for filing, the first step. Studio will be in Murfreesboro TN, the same location from which KAIJ has been programmed; transmitter site at Lebanon TN. Lebanon and Murfreesboro form a triangle with Nashville, east and southeast of it. The application calls for one Harris SW100 transmitter to a rhombic at 50 degrees, which will cover Europe as well as parts of Africa, and the USA. Further plans are for a total of two or three transmitters; the application can be amended if necessary. The company is called Leap of Faith, Inc., get it? And the preferred call letters would be WLOF, altho these are currently held by a religious FM station in Attica, New York, on 101.7. They would have to agree to WLOF also being used by a station on another band, which is technically allowed, but seldom authorized by FCC; or might be willing to relinquish the calls. It is difficult to predict exactly when the new station would start broadcasting, but it could take some three months to grant the CP and at least another two months to build it. Some clients have already been lined up. `WLOF` would not be totally religious, but would have programming from political and other entities which have not been on SW before. Political programming would likely skew to the right of center, simply because there is not much money or interest on the Left in SW broadcasting. The station could be useful in the 2008 presidential campaign, as soon as it can be on the air. George credits his experience with KAIJ in developing new sources of shortwave programming and revenue, never explored before, a good experiment. As for KAIJ itself, owner Mike Parker says it will definitely be returning to the air, but not known exactly when. Operational rather than technical problems are causing the delay. At least initially, it will probably resume programming as before, run out of the Murfreesboro studio, altho Parker will be taking care of further sales and programming development there, with George handling engineering. The Dallas lawyer`s website gh uncovered mentioning KAIJ in a bankruptcy proceeding took place several years ago, not recently. KAIJ`s webstream is supposed to be active again, following crashes of two computers handling it (Glenn Hauser, Jan 31, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
