[BC] RE: WANO station Burn Down

[Harveyesmith@aol.com]

Josh: @ WANO AM, 
 
I read your forwarded note to the "industry" Bill Boyd did post it on a few 
of the lists he frequents.
 
I have a lead for you...
 
Ralph Arnold, Athens GA, has some equipment you might could use, 
 
you might wish to call him, and see what he want's for it.
 
706 255 5618  cell
 
706 742 5186  residence.
 
8 miles NE of Athens, GA.
 
I also suggest that What you need to do is make up a "wish list" for the 
equipment, and we all can see if we can locate you some equipment.  Get the wish 
list back to the above "copy to" window by doing a "reply All"  or contact Bill 
Boyd  _boydsirboyd at aol.com_ (mailto:boydsirboyd at aol.com)   and ask him to 
send it along.
 
I do not know how soon you feel you need to get back on the air.  But we do 
have the NAB coming up April 15th, so if you have ever been a member of the 
nab, perhaps they will assist you in posting your "needs" list as well.
 
you really do need to make a list, as it is not clear to me whether your 
studio and transmitter and tower all were damaged, or what all you need  to get 
back on the air with.
 
Give us a list, and we can try to track some equipment down.
 
I do make the following suggestions:
 
I suggest if you are going to rebuild at the same location, you build a 
concrete block building around another concrete building, use the space in between 
as an employee lounge and green garden area, storage area etc.   use a metal 
roof (RF shielding and fire shielding) on the interior building Metal doors and 
windows etc.
 
Feel free to call me when you have time.  You will find the entire cadre of 
individuals that use this reflector will be willing to assist you in many ways, 
we simply need to know what your needs are.
 
Each of us, probably know 10 other radio involved folks, and this informal 
network can be used to your advantage.
 
As Edward R. Morrow used to say....
 
Good night and Good luck.
