WTWW Goes Silent
Shortwave broadcaster WTWW in Lebanon, Tennessee, went silent on its longtime frequency of 5085 kHz in early November, now “broadcasting” only on the internet. Much of the musical and ham radio-related programming has moved to WRMI on 9455 kHz.See this month’s News Bytes column for details and last-minute updates.
~ Hurricane Ian gave WRMI a huge gut punch, pounding the station’s 23-tower antenna field with estimated 100 mile per hour (MPH) winds, creating extensive damage to much of the area, likely including WMRI’s 14 high-frequency (HF) transmitters. We at CQ send our best wishes to WRMI’s General Manager Jeff White and his staff for a quick recovery and best wishes for success in their appeals for financial help from the shortwave (SW) community.
~ Heartiest congratulations to all at the BBC on their 100th anniversary. You can find special program details on their website <www.bbc.co.uk/100>.
~ SW conditions out of Asia have been particularly good lately, especially from Myanmar, the various Chinese outlets and the Philippine stations, so keep an ear tuned!
