This was posted about 35 days ago...I just checked in there today for the first time in many moons. I do not recall who posted it (because my newsreader chucks headers once the message has been read) so I can't give credit. The message follows... ---quoted message--- Dr. Bill has graciously asked the KGO engineering department to be available to answer your technical questions about KGO and radio in general. We'll probably have some of the guys down at the transmitter so that they can answer questions, talk engineering smack and maybe even give a virtual tour of the facility. You can hear the noises and look at pictures on the web. Visit http://www.dxhound.com/KGO%20visit%202005/jj_test_KGO.html It's almost as good as being there but you don't have to pay the Dumbarton bridge toll (what a DEAL!). We haven't set a date yet, because Jay has some interesting geeky guests that he's trying to line up, and I have a few myself. It should be in the next 4-6 weeks though and probably will be in the last hour of the show (so we scare away the fewest listeners). Jay suggested possibly dropping carrier so that those of you with good radios (we like the C. Crane radio and GE superadio a lot) can hear what's "underneath us". The engineer at WGY (810 khz in New York) is a friend of mine. We may be able to talk to him about the histrory of the stations. I don't know, but your ideas are very welcome! We also have found some amazing old radio recordings and even have a CD sent to us from Sweeden of KGO, as received in Sweeden. It's not bad! One thing that I want to cover (because I get lots of phone calls and letters about it) is how to improve your AM reception. I think that it'll be fun. Let us hear from you! ---end quoted message--- I do not believe this has occurred, so it may be coming up soon unless it has been scrubbed. It may pay for west coasters to be checking 810 . Dr. Bill (Wattenburg) is on from 2200 (Sunday)-0100 (Monday), and it sounds like this may occur on a Sunday night. Wish I knew more, but I'll pass on this bit of info as it is.
