Last nite before Katrina hit, WWL was floudering in here at S-7 to
S-9.....tonight, a different story.

Now booming in at steady +10dB.



Audible here in NJ with the R75 and 200' "Frankenstein" Roof wire. Though I
need to listen in LSB to cut out intermod from 880 WCBS just above.



20 over 9 in SW Michigan at 03:30 UTC. R-75, 155' longwire.

I wonder if WWL 870 knows they have such an admiring and attentive and
captive audience out there?

whip.

Does anybody know when they eventually came back up, and what the story
was?


In my sleep stupor I heard the announcer this Tues. morning at around 5AM
Central state that they had enough diesel fuel to run generator power for
another 24 hours and that he didn't know how they were going to be able to
deliver more. He didn't say if he was referring to the studio or the
transmitter power. Mentioned he and staff sleeping on the floor but will
carry go on.
Many mention of people's cell phone batteries going dead about now and no
power to recharge.

Recently read that the WWL transmitter site has a one month fuel supply.
If the generator can hold out that long!
After that it's pffft.

Maybe all that water surging into the area juiced up their antenna
efficiency?

On another related topic: While watching FOX News TV yesterday....did
anyone else hear Shepherd Smith told "it's none of your fu**'ing business"
by a person he was interviewing. Smith asked a street-person why he was
walking his dogs in the middle of a CAT-5 hurricane........good answer, I
guess!


Yes, they are booming into Virginia as well. It's an understatement to
say there's a lot of confusion among both rescuers and the rescued in a
situation like that. And a lot of frustration on the part of residents
who can't even get to the remains of their homes for at least a week.
I'm tempted to say if anyone is caught looting or stealing under those
circumstances they should be taken out back, given a 5 minute trial and
shot.

How did their antenna survive the storm?

The didn't. WWL is now broadcasting from somewhere else.

Their towers and transmitter site did survive the storm. They are
broadcasting from a different studio location (LSU?)

NBC reported the other night that "several" of the N.O. stations
had combined their resources at a central location to keep broadcasting.
