Greetings
Did anyone happen to remember last Friday evening in southern New
Hampshire. The thunderstorms that came through were quite remarkable. I
did not have my scanner battery charged up so I was unable to listen to
NOAA / NWS for T-Storm warnings. I figured if I listened to a local
Manchester station, I may get a weather advisory.
At about 6:35 pm, with the wind picking up, and the skies darkening, and
my radio tuned to WGIR-AM 610 Manchester NH, I heard what I was
anticipating.
Brrrzzzzzzzqqqqqkkk bbrrrrqqqqzzzzkk, THE EAS signal tones !!!
A very brief period of time passed after which I expected to hear a
weather warning and then a return to the Dr.?? Dean Edell Show.
The words started to flow from my radio speaker, ahhh yes the weather
warning I was expecting ....???
"WE INTERUPT THIS PROGRAMING ON WGIR TO BRING YOU A SPECIAL....." at
this point my pulse was quickening, with every lightning strike and gust
of wind, hanging on each and every one of the announcers
syllables....
....only to hear the completion of his prerecorded announcement....
"....SPORTS PRESENTATION........IT'S RED SOX BASEBALL ON 610 AM WGIR...."
yada yada yada
Boy was I B.S. As much as I enjoy listening to the ball game, I was
expecting a weather advisory.
And with that a bid a fair Brrrzzzzzzzqqqqqkkk bbrrrrqqqqzzzzkk to all
John
