Things that happen when you go on vacation...

-On 12-22 & 12-23 We experienced corrupt audio files with our Cartalk broadcasts.  This was a File transfer issue that we have been having due to our satellite delivery system being in Park City.  We are continually working to better this issue.  Our goal is to bring the dish to Salt lake.

-On 1-3 there was an amber alert that took over our air waves.  These usually come in and we send them when we have a break, but our machine was forcing them out without our permission.  Also the source that sent out the original alert sent out a faulty one.  This caused the noisy interuptions.

-On 1-6 we lost the first hour of Talk of the Nation's Science Friday.  This was due to faulty audio files that did not copy correctly.

-On 1-7 listeners may have heard spanish radio for a few minutes during the mid afternoon.  Our satellite decoders malfunctioned and did not tune to the correct channel.  We had to call NPR HQ and have them force tune them to the correct channel
