A day in the life of a lamptimer

[N1WVQ]

Thank you, Catfish!  Appreciate it!

Nurse Jeff and I have heard rumors to the effect that a large crated box will be delivered to Lumberyard 14~Forty in the near future. In it is the lamptimer's replacement, a state of the art piece of equipment that not only will enable the Goldminers to work 24/7, but make worn out oldies sound even more worn out on Ancient Modulation! Not since the days of J.J. (aka the King of Beepers) have the Nurse and I been so excited. A fez-tastic time as the last Valley daytimer rides off into the sunset sans the infamous carrier dump!

A reconditioned Ampliphase new Nautel.  With built-in power switch.  Huzzah!

Will Gumpdusky invite us all out to the Lumberyard for a bury-the-lamptimer ceremony?
Or better, they could donate it to the House Of Broadcasting.

I don't know, maybe we should have a barbeque instead!

The Prattster will never go for it--he won't play second fiddle to a lamptimer.

Now that it's February (Thu Feb 2), and the daytime broadcast day is 7:15 AM
to 6:15 PM, I tuned in at 6:13 tonight and found that the KayFuNNsters had
already powered down (nothing as "important" as Moe Money after 6:00), and
Lumberyard 1440 (still waiting for the new Nautel, I guess) did a carrier dump
in its usual fashion at 6:15:55.

The best part is, we can now actually listen to some of those golden oldies after Radio Khushi. Today the oldies were already playing at 5:45 P.M. so I guess Radio Khushi is still doing it's 3:45 P.M. - 5:45 P.M. shift.

While this is great and all, would someone explain to me the Lumberyard's recent practice of signing on around 6:00 A.M. with: (1) either full 5000 watts already going or; (2) 500 watts for the first half-hour and then powering up to full power between 6:30 A.M. and 7:00 A.M., well before legal FCC sunrise time? It's been going on all winter long and puts KFNN's antics to shame. Must be Sandusky's going-away party for the ol' Lamptimer!

It usually takes several weeks for the Radio Khushi folks to realign their brokered hours with Lumberyard 14~Forty's broadcast day. Don't be too surprised if that extra half hour of worn out oldies is cut in half when Radio Khushi goes back to 4-6pm.

Can't explain the unexplainable. Nurse Jeff and I are still trying to understand why Madonna thinks anyone would want to see her having a wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl this weekend

...would want to see her having a wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl this weekend 

Not sure you're allowed to say "Super Bowl" though.  Did you clear it with
Roger Goodell?  You may have to use something trite like "Big Game."

Tuned into the Lumberyard this evening around 5:45 P.M. to see if those golden oldies were playing after Radio Khushi, and all I heard was static. No sign or trace of KAZG, even on reduced power. Anyone know what time they signed off today? Personally, I'm hoping this could be the beginning of the installation of the new Nautel transmitter.

Inquiring minds would like to know what's behind the strange happenings at the Lumberyard!
