[BC] Perspective

[Scott Cason]

>>I had a similar thing happen to me when I worked for 1510 in Boston
back in the late '70's...."How long is it going to be?  Well, I can tell you
one
thing: It won't be any faster while I'm talking to you"...inevitably
followed
by a click and dial tone.

I found a quick solution to this one night, quite by accident.  The phone
was right next the door to the building, rushing in, I knocked it off hook.
After getting the station back up and on the air, I thought it was odd
nobody had called interrupting me like before.  Leaving the building, I
noticed the phone off the hook.  Checking the cell phone in my Jeep as I was
leaving (learned long ago to leave it in the car in these situations), there
were 20 missed calls and 16 messages.  I finally talked to the owner of the
station and he complained about the phone at the transmitter being busy.  I
just said something like "oh I must have been on the phone with Harris".
Next time it happened, I took the phone off hook on purpose.  No more calls
from the GM asking if we were on the air yet!  Problem solved.  Ta da!
