WNZF - 1550 kHz - Bunnell, FL (USA) - QSL

Fue una de las grandes sorpresas del amanecer del pasado 13 de abril, en una frecuencia que suele estar ocupada por los diversos repetidores de R. Rebelde o, antes, por la canadiense CBE (cerrada hace unos meses). Entre las 0530 y las 0545Z hubo varios picos de buena señal, uno de los cuales trajo varias identificaciones de la estación. Al segundo intento, y en una hora, Ronald Gitschier ("Ron Charles" en antena) me ha confirmado la escucha con un extenso mensaje en el que me aporta un montón de información sobre la emisora. Entre otras cosas me dice: "Thank you for writing again. And also for reporting reception of WNZF-AM 1550. The file attached provides clear evidence the station you heard was indeed WNZF Bunnell, Floridia, USA. At night, as you may of already researched, we operate with reduced power at 250 watts with an east-west oriented figure of eight pattern. During the daytime we operate with 11,000 watts non-directional, and at critical hours, a term used by the US Federal Communications Commission to decribe the time two hours following sunrise and the two hours before sunset, we use 9,500 watts, non directional.(...) I serve as Chief Engineer and also News Director, Anchor, and Assignment Editor. I built each of these stations and studios from conception to completion. I formerly was a US Navy Sailor, serving from 1982 until becoming a pensioner in 2004. I have visitied several countries in Europe, but not yet Spain... someday that could change. " ¡Un hombre de radio como los de antes!. Thanks a lot of, Ron!. ron@wnzf.com
