WTWW situation from George McClintock circa 22 UT Apr 26: 9930 back on air after some corona goop arrived to apply to insulators which were arcing. Had been absent for two or three days. I check here at 2206, and find 9930 with TOMBS is S9+40/45, but without the splatter we had been getting: maybe that was caused by the arcing. The plus/minus 12.9 kHz spurs are still there but JBA carriers only. He also says the Harris SW100 transmitter has been sold to someone who wants to go on SW, somewhere unspecified, but does not have a CP yet. The live-in operator at the site has now moved in along with his wife. The gate to the property is soon to be upgraded to automatic. Someone else is still consulting on getting the other transmitter back on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9930, Apr 28 at 2224, WTWW is S9+50/60 with TOMBS, also some modulation audible on parasitic spurs 9917.1 & 9942.9, but no splatter beyond; same huge signal on 9980 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

W1NT SDR is still miscalibrated so I don`t try to get exact readings, e.g. it shows 102 Hz low on WWV 20000, 50 Hz low on 10000 - I see a pattern, and BTW gets the binary ticking from 9996 RWM. Anyhow, but 0000 UT Sat Apr 26, 9330 is back on and joined by 7490 & 5130 for WTO and opening of `AAAWWW`.

Both signals are leased by the programmers of the “Power” format. KTWL 105.3 runs a Texas Country format. There is no actual connection between them and KGBC or K287BQ or the “Power” format. Those behind the “Power” format unsuccessfully attempted to buy KTWL a few years ago, and have claimed it as an originating station, which is not the case. There is also no connection with KKBQ or any of its subchannels; the KKBQ HD-3 runs a “Red Dirt Country” format. The “Power” legal ID is mostly fiction.
