This and that around the station.

The station has been running for about a month and a half on the new format. We're picking up some listeners on the Internet, which is good. SAM is working well and I've got it sounding as good as I am able.

We've added new (to us) music to the playlist: Steely Dan's Greatest Hits. There have been a few other adds, too. It's time to go music shopping again (or break down and buy the Gold Disk collection from Jones/TM). All the music on the station has come from purchased CD's, purchased downloads, or the station LP collection. Without record service, buying music can get expensive, even when buying "right-priced" CD's. Right now, the station has over 1800 songs on the playlist which works out to five days of continuous music with no repeats. Time for an afternoon at Silver Platters.

Station rebuilding has been slow due to working a "real job" (actually, two of them). We did get the Yamaha board back on the air and have the Gemini CD player here to install. The entire station rebuild has to be rethought since the "studio" is sharing the den with work activities. The goal is to be able to go live to the air and the Internet.

We're still looking for a site (or two) for our main transmitter. If someone from Snoqualmie sees this note and knows of a good site, please email the station GM at frankh@easthillradio.com.

Until next time.....
