Good Morning, Folks. I came into the studio today to find streaming down, Lowell down, and no internet. I'm posting this backup via Starlink, which allows me to stream but will not carry our Lowell audio.

Hi. Jim here. The web is not cooperating today. The world doesn't want me to use technology today. So, I've posted. But not what I wanted, nor what you wanted. Enjoy your Tuesday.
Remember, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for the development of strong to servere storms in....and close....to the watch area which is quite a large area, given the list of counties, below!
When we're not bringing you Jim and Justin or Edwards' Archives, or our Noon Newsblock, or "Totally 80's Flashback" or...Turntable Trainwrecks, or Popeye John's Monday Night Classic Rock"....or Barry Scott's Lost 45's....we're still working hard to bring you a great station with music and information EVERY hour!
