On Saturday August 24, WWCR transmitters 1 and 2 were taken off-air
for a combined six hours of downtime as well as a combined six hours
of labor and instruction. WWCR's Chief Engineer, Phil Patton, examined
the constantly running transmitters thoroughly while also providing
valuable instruction about the Continental 418E transmitters to staff
members Chris Buchanan, Nathan Smith, Allan Gray, Kevin White and
Brady Murray.
The purpose of this planned downtime and maintenance session was not
only to clean and inspect the equipment but also to provide WWCR's
non-engineering staff with the valuable opportunity to learn about the
100kW shortwave transmitters in a hands-on setting. The entire staff
welcomed this rare opportunity to assist Phil and to ask questions.
WWCR's mission to provide listeners and broadcasters with the most
informed, trained and professional staff was certainly furthered on
that Saturday afternoon. Knowlegde was freely shared as well as a few
good laughs.
