I friend tells me that he hears on World of Radio that KAIJ Dallas
may be leaving the air soon. Does anyone have any more info on
this?


** U S A. KAIJ remains off the air from 9480 and 5755. On Dec 27, GM
George McClintock told me that the owner of Two If By Sea, Mike
Parker, has not informed him of his intentions for KAIJ, but he is
currently working on higher priority projects. He has not revealed to
anyone when it will return to the air.

George adds that it`s sad that KAIJ is off SW, since it was so
successful in Asia, getting a lot of mail for broadcasts in English,
including from people in China well-educated in English, and was just
starting to broadcast in Mandarin. George is not aware of any
imminent sale of the station, despite rumors about this.

For the time being the webcast is still running, altho it may not be
updated. WOR 1386 ran Thu Dec 27 at 1600 instead of the new 1388, or
even last week`s 1387, but they have agreed to put the latest WOR on
successive webcasts, such as Fri 1200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)


They were well received here on both frequencies. Good signal most days,
good modulation and depending on the program source good audio.

What was their output power when they were operating?
What antenna did they broadcast on?
