[BC] Interesting sign-offs and Tech Difficulties

[Rockwell Smith]

A few years back a station I worked for had an unreliable TX ....  They had 
a standing contest.  The first (or the 10th, I can't remember the exact 
details of which call) to call in after they returned to the air won a bunch 
of CDs.  Lots of people kept the dial set and listened to 
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS just so they could call in when we got it 
back on.  I guess I kind of spoiled the contest when I finally got the 
gremlins out of the TX     :)     It did prevent dial switching by a few 
loyal listeners.
