[HCDX]: 160-WBAR

[QUACK <MUSCORJ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>    Tuesday night on 1680 kHz a station was noted with music (hard to tell
>what kind-possibly rap) at 2030 EST. A woman comes on a minute later talking
>about improvements and that they were leaving the air. Sign/off at 2035.
>    I have it on tape and notice that the Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro,NH
>has a notice that 1680-WBAR is off the air for FCC and administration review.

>    Now ...who is really WBAR?

>    Barnard College or Brewster Academy. Tried phoning them this am but I
gather they open at 0900.

     An update: 1. I phoned Brewster Academy and the woman I spoke with said
                   the station was off around Christmas but is back on. I ob-
                   tained the faculty advisors name and home phone number so
                   I'll try him at home since going round the campus with vari-
                   ous phone numbers got me nowhere.

                2. Barnard College in NYC. VOICE MAIL SUCKS! After fighting the
                   admissions office for valid phone numbers I still ended up
                   with voice mail at the radio station studios. Message left.
                   Back to College Activities and I finally reached a person
                   who knew something about the station.
                   I got her name and address so I'll send a tape and letter
                   and she is going to turn it over to someone else.

                3. Aren't WATS lines nice?

                4. My money is on Barnard College.
