WYFR back, only two transmitters
 

** U S A. WYFR is back on the air, but with only two transmitters, as far as I
can tell. First noted Sept 12 at 1400 on 13695, with ID in English, then
into
Mandarin, and ``A Mighty Fortress`` sung in that language with piano
accompaniment. I then checked all the bands, and the only other WYFR
frequency found was 17750, in English, usual huge signal here. At 1500
13695 went off as scheduled but could not hear it on 11865 which is supposed to
take over the Mandarin service (to North America), while 17750 continued in
English

What amazes me is that ANYONE actually listens
to Harold "The World Ends in 1984" Camping and
his INCREDIBLY BORING Family Radio Service
Network. (...possibly more boring and predictable
in program content that Brother Stair in SC still
using scratchy vinyl records???)

The one Network that has the distinction of
having ranked *dead last* on all radio station
Arbitron and M-Street survey reports in all
Major USA Radio Markets since the early 1980's.

Amazing how/who funds this network.
