The work for tonight on WFIL and WNTP has been postponed so we won't be signing off as planned. I'll let you know when we reschedule the shut downs.
73, Rene' From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rene Tetro Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 9:21 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; 'Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America' Subject: [DX-tip] WFIL and WNTP Off air tonight FYI.. WNTP, 990, Philadelphia will be signing off at 00:00 ET tonight for maintenance. The length of the outage is indefinite, but will probably last at least 2 hours, but it could be most of the night depending on what we find once we get into the project. Also, WFIL, 560, Philadelphia will be signing off at 02:00 ET tonight for maintenance. This outage will last about 90 minutes. Both stations are replacing RF Contactors (switches) and other components that were damaged or destroyed (some would say "fried") during a recent lightning storm. In any event, WNTP will return to the air no later than 05:00 ET, and WFIL no later than 04:00 ET. These planned outages may provide some DX opportunities on 560 and 990 in the northeast tonight. 73, Rene' Rene' Tetro Director of Engineering & IT WNTP-WFIL Philadelphia _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
