That's been in the QSO section of the AM forum for a while, it is a riot and kinda true to life, Bob KB1OKL Message: 1 Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2007 17:35:30 -0500 From: Kim Elmore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [AMRadio] WWV (funny!) To: amradio@mailman.qth.net Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed OK, this is funny: WWV Taken Over By Clear Channel Word on the street is that the National Institute of Standards and Technology is close to signing a Lease Management Agreement with Clear Channel Communications, Inc. for its flagship Time and Frequency station WWV, Fort Collins, Colorado. Clear Channel Radio's consultants have demanded some changes to the sound of the station, which broadcasts time of day, standard frequency, and other information 24 hours per day, saying that the old format is dull and predictable. Additionally, WWV's traditional modulation level of 50 percent for the steady tones, 50 percent for the BCD time code and 75 percent for the voice announcements was deemed not loud enough. The station will reformulate itself as The Tick. WWV's program director Hickory Zeitgeist says that the station has already added some snappy new announcements to the rotation, which can be heard by clicking the clock in this link: http://www.lownoiserecords.com/wwv_the_tick.html __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.

It was kind of funny the first time I heard it, but that was several years ago. Old stuff.

Well Don, it's only old if you've seen it before! I haven't and found it quite amusing. Thanks to the message sender. Van, K7VS - Original Message - From: D.
