[BC] Re: No more remotes

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

When I worked for CCR Williston, the play by play guy interview someone at
the came. It was a tournament of some sort being held far from the
station........ Well, he recorded the interview on a casette deck that had
either a really crappy hand held mic or a built in condenser mic and then
fed that down the (cell) phone line..

It was SO bad i could understand a single word of the interview. I vowed,
personally (and quietly) to myself that I'd never allow that on the station
if i was board opping.
