Da er det klart for en ny utgave av NA-spalta. Utrolig nok har det denne gangen strømmet inn med bidrag. Jeg takker herrene Arnstein Bue og Eivind Motland for bidrag på email. De har funnet interessant stoff og sendt en email til undertegnede. Vanskeligere er det ikke å oppnå heder og verdighet gjennom omtale i NA-spalta!

Forholdene har ikke vært de beste, men det har vært noen X-band åpninger de siste dagene. Kanskje er det ennå tid til å få med seg litt før sesongen er over? Som dere vil se i det følgende avsnittet er det kommet en ny bølge i stengingen av canadiske AM-stasjoner. Noen av disse kan forhåpentligvis høres igjen til høsten, men neppe alle.

NYTT FRA NA

Kommentar: CBC har forøvrig selv søkt om å få opprette nye fransktalende stasjoner på 690 og 940, mens et selskap som heter Radio Nord har søkt om å få starte en C&W stasjon på 940. Så det finnes noen som fortsatt vil satse på AM!

DIVERSE

Eivind Motland bidrar med denne artige historien:

A couple of weeks ago, San Francisco's country station KYCY "fired" its DJs and changed its format from "Young Country" to one that would include older country music. For awhile, KYCY was broadcasting without any DJ's at all. Here is an article from Radio Digest by Jason Jackson outlining the DJ changes that have followed:

"A week after KYCY (93.3) decided to take a whoopin' stick to its form at and shuffle its air staff with that of sister-station KFRC (99.7 and 610), most of the smoke seems to have cleared, and everybody knows

where to show up for work in the morning.

For starters, Dean Goss is officially the new morning man at KYCY, which is now calling itself Y-93. Goss had been the popular morning host at KFRC. Karen Dee, Goss on-air partner at KFRC who has also enjoyed Bay Area radio stints at Big 98, K-101, and KSAN, also makes the move over to Y-93. Starting Monday (Feb. 22), she'll be taking over that station's midday shift, which had been handled by local radio veteran Celeste Perry.

To fill the morning slot at KFRC, the station moved its afternoon team of five years, Ron Parker and Cammy Blackstone, to the wakeup show on Friday (Feb. 19).

Then there's the afternoon spot open at KFRC. It will be filled by Jeff Dean,known to his legion of listeners as J.D., who had been the morning host at - you guessed it - KYCY.

It will be a thrill to be on the air at the station I grew up listening to, J.D. told RadioDigest.com. As much as I'll miss the country listeners and artists, I look forward to my new adventure".

--Dan Asvitt

Som tidligere resident i the Bay Area husker jeg de fleste av disse stasjonene, og det er ikke uten sorg at jeg ser at 1550 ikke lenger huser gode, gamle KKHI – klassisk musikk på sitt beste … Ikke for det at jeg misliker country (KYCY), men det var noe spesielt med KKHI.

DX-TEST

Vi klipper dette fra IRCA:

"All the month of March, WQSN-1660, Kalamazoo, MI will insert Morse code IDs into their legal ID at the top of each hour. DXers are invited to listen and send WSQN a reception report at:

Mr. William J. Wertz, VP E-mail: wqsnam@cis.compuserve.com

Fairfield Broadcasting Company
4200 West Main Street
Kalamazoo MI 49006

Also, tune to WKLZ-1470 and WKZO-590 at the top of the hour for Morse code inserted in their regular IDs! Mr. Wertz assures me he will attempt to answer all reports of reception - please, remember to include a SASE with a first class stamp - now $.33 in the US! (Arranged by Lynn Hollerman for the IRCA CPC.)"

Dette er vel nest siste spalte for denne sesongen. Vi bringer en oppdatert X-bånd liste i neste nummer også. Hvis dere er flinke til å bidra kan vi snart skryte av å ha den mest og best oppdaterte listen for X-bånd stasjoner!
