Back on air

This was on the page:

"On September 6, 2010, the WPAZPA announced through their Facebook page that the station was once again on the air, although no transfer of licensure is noted within the FCC database."

I looked at the WPAZPA facebook page, which was suggested as the source, and I can't find this announcement, so I commented out the text. Perhaps I am not looking at the right place, in which case a better locator will be appreciated. --Muhandes (talk) 08:49, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cut and Pasted from WPAZPA Facebook: WPAZ Preservation Association Happy Labor Day everyone! WPAZ is still moving in the right direction -- back on the air. In the meantime, we're putting together a program schedule that will have something for everyone. Suggestions, requests and volunteers are always welcome! Advertisers and sponsors -- contact us now to be the first on the air for o... Read a little more thoroughly next time!!

Also verified transmission (myself) of WPAZ 1370 from Stowe, PA, approximately 12-miles from the transmitter location. Note: they are probably operating under the auspices of Great Scott. NOTE: I AM THE ENGINEER WHO LAST DID REPAIRS TO THE WPAZ TRANSMITTER (OCTOBER, 2009), AND AM MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE SITUATION THAN THE PREVIOUS EDITOR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radioengineer (talk • contribs) 18:43, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Updated (again) in accordance with Facebook postings, Note: a carrier and modulated signal have been heard at 1370Mhz from both Stowe, PA and the Oley, PA areas. This would be indicative that the station is undergoing repairs and alignment prior to the sale, and after the abrupt truncation of the signal in December/2009. From the phraseology used within the Facebook update, I assumed that the WPAZ Preservation Association was doing the operational testing (my error) not Great Scott Broadcasting.

A "Dark Broadcasting" letter was once again filed by Great Scott, on-or-about the 23rd of August, 2010. FCC Regulations allow for "resumption of signal" at a dark station for purposes of maintenance.
