There is nearly nothing better than lazy Sundays, especially ones where I get to watch a Cubs game followed by two DVD’s; Snatch and Identity. It’s like my ultimate fill of pop culture. I think I’ll be quite satisfied for a while.
CPB has sent a guy out to do some measurements on our AM transmitter. To make his readings, he had to kill the signal tonight. Jim called and sent me into the control room to make a legal ID and announce that we’d being going off the air. My first time behind the mic at that place, but no big deal, right? As soon as I piped up the fader, I started shaking. I said what I had to say just fine, but the shakes kicked in. It was like the first time I went on the air all over again. Of course, that was 100 watts not even reaching county limits. This is the eastern part of the state. It was weird. Slightly embarrassing, and weird.
