"All this assumes that we have no problems. This will be a test to see how
the transmitter and other equipment hold up with extended transmission
time."
[later] And it's on and running! Huge S=9+25 signal here with classic rock
'n' roll music at 1608 UT Jan 23. Initially steady, but then with slow
selective fading the only thing marring the music. Frequent IDs by Ted
Randall, asking for reports to

WTWW heard with weak but clear signal here in the UK from tune-in at
1830 UT on 9480 with oldies and frequent "equipment tests" announcements.
First time I've heard it here.

9480 WTWW (Lebanon, TN), 1844-1900, Jan 23, English. 1960s pop music.
Canned announcement by Ted Randall with identification "You're listening
to WTWW, Lebanon, TN, performing equipment tests". Requested reception
reports to
Good signal with some fading. Signal strength decreased by about 50% at
1859, and test on 9480 ended at 1900. Test continued on 9475 with same
(weaker) signal.

Now, at 0253 UT of Jan 24 on 5755 kHz WTWW comes with good signal playing
their wonderful rocks, 44444, incredible quality of the received signal.

No idea, Tim. But without insulting anyone else's listening preferences, I
hope it doesn't turn out to be another religious/ radical politics format.
I think we could do with a little more variety from domestic SW.
(John KC2BPU Figliozzi, NY, ibid.)
I believe it will be a lot like WWCR and KAIJ - mostly religion, plus farright
politix. That's where the business is. If we are lucky, there will
be some time left over for DX programs to fill in. Enjoy the oldies while
you can (could).
