CHAIRMAN'S NOTES
Hey - Summer is upon us!
And that means it's time for the annual SBE barbecue.
In attendance with us will be Gary Liebisch from Nautel,
Brian Szewczyk from Harris, Pam Leffler from SCMS and
Dave and Kandice Kerstin from Broadcaster's General
Store. Additionally, we will also have in
attendance Graziano Casale from a new sponsor of SBE 15,
Screen Service America/RRD USA. |
| I'd first like to take
this opportunity to thank Mark Olkowski, Chris Tobin,
Mike Erickson and Rob Bertrand from CBS Radio for the
great tour of High Island last month. Mark has
said he is now taking reservations for your Bronx
vacation in the cabin.... :o)
I'd also like to thank the
sponsors of our barbecue this year - Nautel, Harris,
SCMS and BGS. It's because of them we can eat,
drink and make merry!
And of course, thank you
to members of SBE 15 for your support. It's been a
crazy year.
I'd also like to mention
that I'll be at the NJ Broadcasters Association
convention on June 8-9 representing SBE 15. Hope
to see you there. Buy your throwing tomatoes now
so they're good and rotten!
Hope to see everyone
Thursday, May 27!
Tom Ray
Chairman, SBE15 |

DIRECTIONS TO
THE WOR TRANSMITTER
GPS ADDRESS:
750 Edwin L. Ward Sr. Memorial Blvd
Rutherford, NJ
(this is the address for the Extended Stay America
located next door to the access road)
Ham repeater: W2ABC, 145.270 (+), PL141.3 Tom
Ray's ham call is W2TRR
FROM THE CITY: Take the Lincoln Tunnel to Route 3
west. Follow route 3 past the sports complex, and take
the Route 17 North/Service Road exit. Stay to the right
for the service road. At the stop sign, take a right
onto the service road. You will pass a warehouse on the
left, then the road curves and goes under Route 3. When
you emerge from the underpass, look for a big dirt/stone
construction road on your left (if you pass the Extended
Stay, you've gone too far!). Take a left into the
construction road. Follow the "road" 0.9 miles to the
WOR site. We're the only thing on the "road", with
3-669' towers out back - kinda hard to miss.
Please be careful on the "road", as it is full of
potholes.
If you need to come from elsewhere, please email Tom Ray
for directions.
