Carnival Triumph Cruise Review by charlie2t: Carnival Triumph Is a Fun ship.
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Carnival Triumph Bahamas Cruises
Carnival Triumph Is a Fun ship.
We sailed from New Orleans on October 16, 2010. Parking is smooth and easy, just stay in the right lane and a porter will unload your bags for you and get them loaded on the ship. Proceed to the parking garage $112 for a seven day cruise payable as you enter the facility by credit card or cash.Garage is secure and access is limited so there is no problem there.
Check in was handled very well by Carnival employees and was reasonably quick and easy considering the large number of people who were processed.Carnival folks on the dock were very patient and courteous, even with some of the passengers who were confused about what to do.
Once on board the buffet on the Lido deck was open with great food and service while we waited for the cabin crews to finish getting the cabins ready. After a short wait (actually a bit shorter than on some of our other cruises) we went to our cabin, which was clean and well furnished.
The weather was beautiful for the entire cruise More
and the sea was as smooth as I have ever seen it for the whole voyage.
The crew was friendly and made the trip very enjoyable.The food and service in the Paris dining room were both superb and of 5 star quality.The service staff did an absolutely fantastic job at every meal.Our server Natalya and her assistant were among the best that I have seen on any cruise ship.
Nassau- Not really much to say here.We had visited here last year and were not impressed then. It is oriented to milking the tourist out of every dollar that they can and not among the cleanest places that we have visited.
Freeport- This was our first time here since 1996 and things have changed quite a lot. On our first trip Grand Bahama was a very clean and laid back place with very friendly people and lots of things to see and do. It is still much cleaner than Nassau, but is another area with many shops jammed together into one big area designed to relieve the tourist of his/her money.
Key West- The best stop on the cruise.Lots of shops to relieve you of your money, but in a clean and friendly atmosphere with lots to see and do. Sloppy Joe's Bar is a place that you don't want to miss.This was Earnest Hemingway's favorite watering hole and has a lot of Island atmosphere and memorabilia. The ship prices on jewelery, watches and liquor are equal to or better than the prices found in the ports and I would recommend that you make most of your purchases on the ship.
The only negative thing that I encountered on the ship was in the casino. I would like to see a no smoking slot area. I am somewhat sensitive to tobacco smoke and could not stay in the casino area for any length of time. There is a small area at the rear of the casino which is designated NO SMOKING, but it is not enforced at all and is mostly ignored by smokers.
We have sailed on 4 Carnival ships thus far and are looking forward to our next cruise.I expect that the next trip will be aboard another Carnival Fun Ship. Less

By Robert Smith
Sydney: Jan 4, 2014
Under-fire skipper Alastair Cook should remain and become part of England's team rebuilding in the wake of their Ashes series humiliation, former captain Graham Gooch said on Saturday.
The tourists are staring at another heavy defeat and a 5-0 series whitewash in the final Sydney Test after a first innings capitulation and trailing Australia by 311 runs with six wickets intact at the end of day two.
England's plight was underscored by Cook's inexplicable decision not to play a shot and a trapped leg before wicket by Ryan Harris on the second ball of the day as a prelude to the tourists' collapse to be all out for 155.
All positions in England's demoralised team and back-room staff are expected to come under review at the end of the series, but Gooch, the team's batting coach, backed Cook to be part of the solution to the English team's malaise.
"He [Cook] is not contributing the weight of runs that we have come to expect from him. He's not been at his best and he's been under pressure from the Australian bowlers but he's still delivered a little bit," Gooch told reporters.
"Ultimately, the individual is the only one who can make that decision, but for me he's still a guy who is learning and who should be there when some kind of rebuilding takes place."
Gooch said it was not the weight of responsibility of captaincy that contributed to Cook's abject dismissal on Saturday.
"He made an error in judgement which happens to any batsmen. It's particularly poignant when it happens like that at the beginning of the day when you're trying to set the tone and you're trying to lead from the front," he said.
"He's a guy who likes to lead from the front, especially with the willow (bat), so it was not a great start. I wouldn't say he made that mistake purely as captain and under pressure, but it's been a problem for us all through the tour."
"We've made too many errors in the batsmanship and not fought our way into positions and have not been able to release the stranglehold of the Australian pace attack in particular. We've only had one hundred and that's not going to win you anything."
"Everyone has to look at themselves. That's the coaches, the players, they're all going to be under scrutiny, quite rightly, and we all have to take it on the chin and we have to take the criticism. If you play the way we've played the brutal truth is it's not good enough."
"We have to look at ways to move forward and we have to look to ways to improve, even if that might entail taking some more pain before that gets better."
Gooch said there will be a team rebuilding process after the "debris" of the tour.
"We'll have to have a look at it and see if there's a better way or the powers that be will definitely be reviewing everybody, so we'll all be under scrutiny," he said.
"Everyone on this tour would not like to leave under the circumstances and the debris of this tour."
Gooch said there were three reasons why Cook and the team's other senior batsmen Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen had not performed in the Ashes series.
"There are three immediate reasons why they have struggled and that is (Australian pacemen) Harris, [Mitchell] Johnson and [Peter] Siddle, have all bowled pretty well and (spinner) [Nathan] Lyon has backed them up pretty well," he said.
"Australia have been on their game, but you still expect players of that calibre and with that record behind them to score that proportion of runs."

Spiced Pumpkin-Sweet Potato Soup with Kefir
Sweet and spicy, creamy and thick, this is almost more of a thin mash than it is a soup. The spices work well here and complement the onion and garlic enough to play up the natural sweetness of the pumpkin and sweet potato, but not so much that it tastes like dessert. This soup is served warm, not hot, allowing the milk kefir to maintain its probiotic value. Ingredients:

The first amp had a very low output on one channel. The problem was found to be a very, very fine hairline crack in the solder joint for the upper one of the 2 47K ohm SMD resisters on the board. The other amp had no output on one channel and the bias current was not adjustable. The problem was found to be the lower 47K ohm SMD resister- the plating had separated from the resister. This was NOT visible even under high magnification. |

Good find
Don't worry... you can always turn the gain down! |

Hello there, I've seen many car amps over the years from burnt pcb's etc..the last one came to me rattling and not powering up due to being bolted to the sub box this is a no no. I would agree there circuit board cracks will make the unit cut in and out...
keep amp away from the bass box well not bolted to it any...lol even easer this chap would to use his amp in the house so I rigged him up a 750w atx power supply unit to run it on.. |

SMD isn't the issue. These resistors operate at very high temperatures. In time, the solder breaks down. That leads to even more heating and the resistors fail (lead terminal delaminates).

Those boards get fairly warm and often have resistor issues.Most common issue I've seen is transistor failure(differential pair).The two smd transistors in upper left corner beside the two resistors(102).

So a good starting point with this driver board would be replacement of all resistors? I've looked at them all with magnification and probed point to point on virtually every connection on the board and it seems to have no issue until its installed in the amp. Then the issue is intermittent.
I've narrowed it down to the driver board because I swapped a new on into the amp I pulled this one from and the amp works fine now. Would it be suitable to pull the outputs on the channel, let it be shorted and probe around to find where the voltages go astray in hopes to try and isolate the component/s causing the issue? |

Have you tried comparing the voltages on each terminal of each component on a good board and a bad board? That may help lead you to the defective component in the circuit.
re post #8: For those who find a defective differential amp transistor, both differential amp transistors must be replaced with matched transistors (same production batch is close enough). Having a mismatched pair can result in various problems but most commonly excessive DC offset. to kds9591: If you feel that some of these posts are too far off topic, have a moderator either delete them or move them to a new thread.

Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Simon Hughes, has said during the debate around the Marriage (same sex couples) Bill today, that he believes marriage should be "between one man and one woman".
The openly bisexual MP said he thought that marriage was "gender complimentary", and that it should be between straight couples only.
"I believe that marriage is ordained by God. I believe it is traditionally ordained by God as between one man and one woman".
He went on to say that marriage should be for "the creation of children," and that he had taken a "traditional", and "Christian", view on marriage.
MPs voted 340 to 150 to reject the amendment. Mr Hughes voted for the amendment.
Yesterday, speaking during the debate, Mr Hughes said: "I have three relevant interests. First, I have struggled with the issue of sexuality since I was a teenager, like my hon. Friend Stephen Williams. I remember that at school it was not an easy issue in the slightest.
"Everybody knew that there were gay people at school, but it was never taught or spoken about formally. Secondly, I am chair of the board of governors of a Church of England primary school. Thirdly, I am a trustee of a Church of England secondary school. We have excellent teachers who do their jobs very well, but I have to say that there is still some nervousness."
The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill is to receive a third and final Commons reading throughout this afternoon and evening.

This project develops a framework for design automation of cyber-physical systems to augment human interaction with complex systems that integrate across computational and physical environments. As a design driver, the project develops a Body/Brain Computer Interface (BBCI) for the population of functionally locked-in individuals, who are unable to interact with the physical world through movement and speech. The BBCI will enable communication with other humans through expressive language generation and interaction with the environment through robotic manipulators.
Utilizing advances in system-level design, this project develops a holistic framework for design and implementation of heterogeneous human-in-the-loop cyber-physical systems composed of physically distributed, networked components. It will advance BBCI technology by incorporating context aware inference and learning of task-specific human intent estimation in applications involving semi-autonomous robotic actuators and an efficient wireless communication framework.
One application of HLCPS is SSVEP based typing application. EEG signals are collected via passive electrodes from subject's visual cortex.Then the EEG signals are fed into Analog Front End (AFE) which contains 3-stage amplification, low pass filter and driven right leg. The AFE, based on the OpenEEG project, is able to handle 8 channel EEG signals which are converted into digital signals by AD7606 ADC and sent to an embedded platform.
We build up the EEG signal acquisition tool chain based on the embedded platform TLL6527m. Under the control of BF527 processor, the peripheral Xilinx FPGA Spartan 3E is programmed for simultaneous data acquisition from the 8 output channels of AD7606, filtering and transferring to BF527 for further signal processing. Then the DSP plots samples on the LCD in real time and simultaneously sends them to MATLAB on a PC upon request.
On one hand, we prototype the heuristics and control program in MATLAB for fast implementation and validation. On the other hand, the MATLAB program can be synthesized into embedded C code running on the TLL6527m so as to have low power and portable solution.
In addition, a set of LED arrays with a centralized control board are designed for SSVEP stimulus under the control of FPGA.They can be well assembled with the embedded platform.

Custom-fabricated spindles are an integral part of the front suspension and lend long-legged strength to the front of the Ford. The upper and lower uniball pivots are oriented vertically, with the bolts horizontal so that the spherical bearings are radially loaded. A typical uniball can handle 10 times the radial load compared with the axial load-bolts vertical. If this explanation seems complicated or confusing, simply remember that these FST spindles use a very strong design. Further proof of the strength lies in the welds themselves. TIG-welding was the process of choice when the uniball cups, chrome-moly plate, and spindle stub were melted into one continuous unit. Welding was done in two steps. First, a standard root pass was laid down, one weld puddle at a time. After the root pass was completed, a double-weave technique was used for the second pass. A double-weave TIG-weld is executed by oscillating the torch - and thereby the weld puddle - across the width of the root welds. Done properly, the double-weave pass takes on the appearance of fish scales.

I was so stoked when I saw prana had come out with some new t-shirt patterns, I ordered one right away... Man was I disappointed. I loved the vibrant and quirky pattern and the lightweight fabric but the thing ran HUGE compared to many other prana tees I own. I'm 5'3" 115lbs 32D and the XS was very baggy and not at all flattering. I don't mind loose flowly clothing but it's just not what I was expecting with this t-shirt at all. Unfortunately I had to return it.
You probably would have looked amazing with it too.

TheStreet) -- Midwest regional Bank stocks on Friday had a very strong showing, as investors cheered stronger-than-expected November employment numbers.
Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Labor Department also said the U.S. economy had added 203,000 nonfarm jobs during November, coming in ahead of the consensus estimate of 182,000.
The November unemployment rate is the lowest in five years. Here's the unemployment picture over the last decade:
The Labor Department also revised revised previous nonfarm job-growth numbers upward, to 174,000 from 153,000 for September and to 204,000 from 200,000 for October.
KBW Bank Index
(I:BKX) rose 1.4% to 67.41, with all 24 index component showing gains.
U.S. Bancorp
(USB) of Minneapolis was the leader among large-cap banks, with shares rising 2.7% to close at $39.65. Other major Midwest players showing strong gains included
Fifth Third Bancorp
(FITB - Get Report) of Cincinnati, which was up 2.6% to $20.34, and
Huntington Bancshares
(HBAN) of Columbus, Ohio, which rose 2.6% to $9.24.
All eyes this week were on the Friday unemployment figure, however, there's been plenty of other good news this week. The Bureau of Economic Statistics on Thursday made a major upward revision of its estimate for third-quarter U.S. gross domestic product growth to an annual rate of 3.6% from the previous estimate of 2.8%.

Nice runner for price. Rug was slightly darker than we expected, but we like it. It has a thick pile and nice rubber non-slide backing.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? color was slightly darker than picture
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. nice quality; rubber backing keeps rug from sliding
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurate
I purchased this runner for my dog. She had a hard time walking from room to room and getting to the front and back doors to go outside. She needed some traction and the runner came to mind. I looked for something that would go with pretty much everything and I found these colors appealing....goes well with everything.....can look classic and contemporary. It doesn't slide when she walks on it or when people walk on it. Also stays put when vacuuming. It has given my dog the freedom to walk around again. Would definitely purchase again!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Perfectly
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. So far great. Stays put and easy to clean.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate
Wish I could find this rug in an area size, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Love it, length is perfect, soft and plush, and the colors are beautiful. Great product, great price, and arrived in two days after ordering.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Colors are better in the actual product than online. Brighter and more vivid.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent quality, pile is thick and lush, wonderful to stand on.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate.
This is a great rug. It has a few little spots where the fibers have come loose but it's only visible to me since I am a nitpicker like that!! Really warms up a room or hallway!!
I really love this rug. It's so soft and the colors are exactly the same as you see online. I bought another one but smaller size.
I was looking for a 16-17 inches running rug but could not find the design I liked. When I expanded my search, I found this style. I ended up buying 2 and put them together. Items arrived timely and secured. Very soft to step on. No need pad underneath. Color was exactly expected. Bright. The only minor thing was the two rugs were not exactly the same width in this shipment. one was half inch wider. They look okey from distance for this minor thing. Stil highly recommend, especially if you just buy one.
Does not need a pad to prevent slipping, looks great especially on our wood floor
Love it. I bought a rug and another rug to match. What more to say?????
I bought this for my galley kitchen because the hard tile was making my back hurt. It cushions, cleans up easily with an electric broom or vacuum and - best of all - I throw it in the washing machine and dryer every couple of months and it comes out beautiful. Bargain price too.
Will be easy to wash when the time comes. Just received it and seems to bell well stitched and soft underfoot. Beautiful, eye catching pattern. Will take abuse. Colors more muted than what screen depicts but all screens are different. I am very happy they are a bit muted. Would order again.
This rug has a beautiful, deep color to it and a plush feel when you walk on it. Was inexpensive, yet quality seems to be very good. Easy to vacuum and keep clean. Has a rubber backing that keeps it from slipping, even in a high-traffic area. Wonderful addition to my entry-living room area. Ties together all the colors in my house.
This is nice runner I have placed in front of my couch. Love the colors!
I am not disappointed. This rug seems durable, it has vibrant (yet not obnoxious) colors. It is soft, too.
I ordered this runner for the hallway at our beach condo. The colors are vibrant which brightens up the area. The rubber backing is nice as the rug does not slide around.
Have changed rugs in living room and hallway several times, because never happy with design, quality, and style. Bought these and I'm very happy, they look wonderful and expensive, although they weren't that expensive. I've gotten several compliments from family and neighbors about the style and design. The colors are beautiful. Great buy and would buy the same style again.
Ordered two of these and two of Rainbow striped. Very pleased with these rugs. They are well made and are thick and plush. Vivid colors, brighter than shown in photos. I saw these rugs on other sites. but got the best deal at Overstock They were shipped immediately and arrived in just a few days. Thank you for the pleasant shopping experience.
Well made runners, match perfectly to the same previously ordered item. Anti - slip backinh, makes placement of these runners fit any area in the house i. e. bare floors or a top carpeting. .
I love this carpet -- versatile in color and the fact that it's rubber-backed and can be machine-washed. However, it's about 6" narrower than I'd have liked -- but I kept it all the same! I also have a 5x7' rug that matches it (not purchased on this site).
I also have the large area rug to match in the living room, which I'm thrilled with. For the decent price, it can't be beat. Colors are perfect. Sizes are what the ad says it is, no smaller, no bigger. These rugs were quickly sent to me, & in good packaging for the mailing process.
The colors in this runner were very vibrant and match perfectly with the room size rug that I had purchased.

Ed's note: This was received after word of the death of West Hartford native Don Berns
Dear Ed....
It's such sad news. I heard of his passing via FB at about 2:45am...and I couldn't go back to sleep. I worked with Don in 1969 at WICE in Providence and again in the mid 80's at WTAE in Pittsburgh. He was a great talent and a good friend. He went to my wedding in 1971 and met my children when we worked at WTAE. I'm really going to miss the guy. Thanks for the update Ed. Hope all is well with you old friend.

hello ed,
well, i have retired (again)! i guess 43+ years of "playin' the hits" was enough! it was only rock n roll, but i loverd it!
so, now, you can add WYKE-FM/Lecanto FL to my "after" column.
my wife and i still reside in Dunnellon, FL. we are still involved with our Vizslas (hungarian pointers). my wife, an international flight attendant, shows our dogs and we both compete in hunt tests & field trials. i also compete with them in obedience trials.
i remember bill stephens once writing on this site how the number of us who were lucky (and fortunate) enough to have worked at 'DRC - and with the great charlie parker - are now dwindling. while that is both sad and true, this 2-time Big D'er will always hold on to those memories with great affection!
take care, ed,

Hi Ed,
How are you my BIG D Brother? I get such a kick hearing Ron Sedaille refer to his new internet radio show as coming from the Fun Tower. Haven't heard that one in a long time! Dad must be getting a thrill out of hearing how his FUN lives on. Thanks Ron.
On another note…. People don't need to be too worked up about music changes at WDRC-FM. Connecticut's First Radio Station has only had 3 owners since 1922. Mr. Doolittle, Mr. Buckley and now Connoisseur Broadcasting. They're a locally owned radio group, with love and respect for the history and heritage of WDRC. They know and respect what a special place WDRC has always held in the hearts of its listeners.
Don't worry about the change of music. I understand how much it hurts to lose some of the Personalities / your friends at BIG D. Just ask the folks who grew up listening to some of the greats like Dick Robinson, Sandy Beach, Long John & his brother Don Wade, Joey Reynolds and Dick McDonough….the list goes on and on. Take a look at the personality page of this amazing website that Ed Brouder developed and has maintained through the years. We owe a debt of gratitude to Ed. This site is not, nor will it ever be, the property of WDRC. It lives through your passion as well as Ed's passion and love for WDRC. Thank you so much Ed.
WDRC sure has gone through many changes before and after August 18, 1960 (The Birth of BIG D and RADIO FUN!)). And just like it's always been, the owners will listen to their listeners. If the ratings don't stay strong, they'll make changes to be sure. Just don't be afraid to speak up. Thank you to everyone for your loyalty through the years.
WDRC is still WDRC, the BIG D…A true CLASSIC is still alive and well! Which way they decide to take the music is up to you. Hopefully with your continued passion, input and ideas….. ROCK & ROLL and the BIG D will never die! Thanks everybody!

Could you make and update to Ron Sedaille's TODAY listing on WDRCOBG.COM. Ron has relaunched his hit show "All Request Saturday Night" that was heard for years on WDRC FM until the Connousseur Media takeover of WDRC in July.
Rockin' Ron and ARSN can now be heard every Saturday night at his new online streaming station. The station is programed 24/7 and is also live nightly 8-10PM. I admire his and your lifetime dedication to WDRC and want to be sure that listeners that might be looking for Ron and his show can find him sounding better than ever!
WDRC has such a rich history, I live in Manchester NH and first discovered WDRC when searching airchecks on Youtube and Ron has many uploaded. WDRC was streaming their broadcasts so I became a listener. I then got interested in the station and read every inch of your site, great stuff as well as all the material that you have compiled on local radio history. It really was a special place. Thanks for your time and have a great new year.

I think a lot of long time DRC listeners were extremely upset this past summer when Connisseur Media came in & totally destroyed what was once a great radio station-Basically,the baby boomers were kicked to the curb-I seriously doubt the revamped format will draw huge ratings.

I'm sorry I just wanted to say how much I miss the old big d radio station. I miss the hosts I miss the music. I especially miss the morning crew with Kim Zachary. What happened its like it turned into a classic rock station overnight....we have rock 102 we don't need you too....bring back the old drc. Thank you for my rant.

It was great seeing you a few weeks ago at the BIG D (aka the Connecticut Radio Reunion.
Sorry to hear of the passing of both Len Thomas and Don "Boom Boom" Cannon. I remember when my Dad hired Len. Len had been on the Cape (Probably WCOD). Dad heard him and gave him a call. Len was blown away by the call. Apparently he had been sending my father airchecks for years, and Dad wasn't that impressed. When he heard Len in his element, on the air, it made all the difference in the world. I also remember my Dad coming home after the incident, and telling me what had happened. He said that there really was no other choice. How could he be guaranteed that it wouldn't happen again? The FCC would have flipped.
Don was a great guy! He was very tall. A real giant as I remember, with a wonderful personality, great smile, and a heart of gold. Don looked like Sam the Sham (Sam the Sham and the Pharohs..Wooly Bully). He used to hang out with Bill Hart, now known as Bill Saint James. Billy was a short bean pool of a teenager from Conard High in West Hartford, with "great pipes". My Dad hired him straight out of Connecticut School of Broadcasting. I think that Don and Bill used to play golf together. What a sight that must have been.
In the long run, we have lost two of my BIG D Brothers. My prayers go out to both Len and Don as well as their families. Both great talents. But on the bright side, Dad sure is glad to get them back on the air at WGOD! As always Ed….Thanks for keeping the flame burning.

In the spring of 1970 the Announcers and Engineers Club (we did the morning announcements on the PA) at my high school, the Norwich Free Academy, had a chance to tour WICH on Cuprak Road in Norwich (CT). Len Thomas was our gracious tour guide. One of our group must have asked if it was true that lots of announcers/ personalities did not use their real names. Len said that it was certainly true, and that in fact one staffer at WICH had the last name of Ham, and just imagine all the jokes and puns there would be about a Ham on the radio! Little did we guess that it was him. Rest in peace Mr. Ham.
Incidentally, I still love the website, always finding something new, like the link to Bob Craig's jazz show. Where it's always llllLLLLLUUUUNNNCH TIME. Just had to get that in.

Hi Ed!
Very sorry things have turned around again at WDRC.
To catch you up, I received a heart transplant in June of 2008. I know my donor was a man in his thirties. I have tried to contact his family, but they are not ready. Being in retirement from WDRC has been a huge change in my life. I quickly got used to having a heart again, and am so grateful! But now I needed to get my life back in order. I turned to a gym, Healthreax in Avon. I take lessens from a trainer there, do yoga, Zumba and cardiac exercises.
I spend one day a week reading at CRIS in Windsor. And I spend a good deal of time speaking for the group Donate Life, which encourages organ donation. I talk to kids getting their drivers license. I appear at Donate Life tables at car shows and health fairs. My message is, be an organ donor, and tell your family about it!
So, good luck to all my co-workers at DRC-FM. Use this time to do something meaningful with your talent. CRIS is always looking for readers! Best of luck!

I worked at WDRC in the 1960's and 70's as an engineer. I started when Ted Hitchcock was CE, left to go back to school and then (on and off) worked under George Watson and Wane Mulligan until WDRC discontinued two person on air production.
I got to work with a lot of very interesting people, including Bertha Porter (who had more gold records than it is easy to count, they lined the walls when we moved back to downtown Hartford (from what Arthur Nelson Johnson Jr. (I worked with him at WTIC) called the Bathroom On Bluehills) and her replacement Jim English.
Of course Charlie Parker was one of my favorites. While I was working Saturday mornings, Charlie would often start his new contests during my shift. My guess is that he thought that if I could run them, then anyone could. They were often very complex from an engineering standpoint. By my shift the next Saturday, they were often very simplified. I usually got them right the first time.
I also worked with Walt Dibble, and on one Saturday morning in 1971 we got not a test, but a fully confirmed CONELRAD teletype alert at exactly the time we expected to get a test. I called WTIC to see what they were going to do, but they never answered my call (I suppose they were just as busy as I was trying to decide what to do) and Walt and I decided it was a mistake. I logged it as a test and we rocked on. Here is a link to the incident.
I was the on air engineer when Joey Reynolds decided to upstage WPOP during a sweep with a stunt that played all top 40 hits in 5 minutes. I added jingle pieces to cover the segues between the songs. Joey went on to not call for any commercials for the next hour or so. It was a Saturday morning, heavy with beer and other commercials. As each commercial in the log was bypassed, I took its cart from its slot and placed it on top of a pile in the full view of Joey and mentioned that we were behind on the intercom. Soon there were more carts in the pile than in the slots. We never got caught up; management was not amused.
Some of the people that I worked with at WDRC that were standouts (not in any particular order) were:
Ted Dalaku – Very personable, great guy overall. Dick Robinson – CSB founder. A total salesman by the time I met him. One of the best. Joey Reynolds – Just as crazy as you think he is; perhaps crazier... Sandy Beach – Probably a member of the Tea Party today. Bob Decarlo – Should never have left WDRC, he was a genuine Bob Steel competitor. Ken Griffin – From WPOP – Had the feel of greatness. Bob Craig - "It's Lunchtime" – I liked the overall idea, but it was not commercial. Don Cannon – Did overnight while I was at WDRC. A master of the art.
So it would very much please me to be added to the list of engineers at WDRC.

I lived in West Hartford in the early to mid 60s, when I was a young teenager. My radio memories consist of: WPOP's Joey Reynolds nighttime show. "Jo-ey Reynolds Show / on POP ra-di-o / pop tunes, news and weather / where Connecticut gets together / on POP..., POP ray-dee-oh" [sort of to the tune of Wild Weekend]. And his (midnight?) ritual of him guiding his listeners in dripping hot wax onto their radio dial so it would always and only get WPOP. (What was that spooky instrumental tune that played during this?)
One day I heard that he was going to make an appearance in the parking lot of Sedgwick Foods, at the corner of Sedgwick Road and South Main Street, West Hartford. I walked there (I lived 6 blocks from it) and saw Joey on a platform, as I recall it. He was signing autographs. There might have been tunes being played, but I don't recall now. I had expected a really cool-looking guy, and was stunned by how overweight he was, and with a sort of pinched-in face. We should never see our radio heroes in person. I didn't wax my radio dial, because I also listened to WDRC.
I don't recall which DJ was on which of the stations. I just remember names like "Rusty Pots", "Sandy Beach" and other seemingly unlikely names, which I thought were made up because of the apparent puns.
I remember radio promos for Connecticut Dragway and Arthur Drug Stores. "sunday - Sunday - SUNDAY!!!! At Connecticut DRAG-WAYYYY!!!!" and "Arthur's, Arthur's, Arthur's, Open all the time. Arthur's, Arthur's, Arthur's, Open all the time. Arthur Drug Store."
There was one in West Hartford, on Farmington Av, just at the Hartford town line, open 24 hours, with a big lunch counter area, always serving. We also haunted the 24-hour Dobbs House / Toddle House in W.Hfd. Center. I occasionally listened to WTIC radio. At one time they had a pop tune format show after Bob Steele's show, with DJ Ted Dalaku, who called himself Ted Dala-koo-koo. At noon he'd put on an affected voice and call out: "It's LUUNNCCHH TIIIIIME!" [Ed's note: actually that was Bob Craig, though he and Ted both worked at Big D].
I often listened late at night to faraway FM stations including WKBW-Buffalo and WOWO-Fort Wayne. My restless feet were itching to go -- somewhere. I moved to California and never returned to Connecticut.

We lived in West Hartford during WWII so as to be near the facility because of fears of sabotage,etc. I recall going there one day with Dad, unlocking the chain link gate, and seeing a gun, perhaps a 45. I was told that it was there so the transmitter operator could defend himself in case saboteurs tried to take over the transmitter to send messages, perhaps to submarines off the coast. You may recall there were air raid drills, with searchlights panning the darkened skies. Selected citizens were made air raid wardens, and houses had blackout curtains, and of course gas was rationed. Seems hard to believe, but true.

I was reminiscing with my wife an old DRC story that my father related to me. During the war they hired what I believe was an announcer. Shortly thereafter someone saw him with a gun. My day then went and bought a pistol, I do remember seeing it in his desk drawer; looked like a 45 but at that young stage in my life I didn't, I'm sure, know what a 45 was. I was probably at most 4 years old at that time.
This story is from memory so there may be gaps in it but it stuck with me all these years.

Here is an obit we did for Jack Roberts. He was a great guy...we all mis him out here in CA...we were pals for 20 yrs since he arrived out here after producing Dick Cavett's cancelled radio show in NYC. Did you know Jack, perhaps?
BTW..I am from Willimantic, CT...used to write news for the AP in Hartford and Brad Davis then at WTIC used to read my CT news stories for his 12 mid nite news break and I would listen in the car driving home. I also loved WDRC...listend to station lot. I went on to NBC TV and became Johnny Carson's publicist on TNT SHOW during 80s, 90s. I am still in the PR game in LA.
Take care

Another entry for WDRC's history: March 5, 2014:
After nearly fifty-five years of ownership, Buckley Broadcasting announces the sale of WDRC and its other Connecticut stations, WMMW Meriden, WSNG Torrington, and WWCO Waterbury, to Connoisseur Media, LLC. Buckley's President and CEO said that the "evolving competitive landscape" coupled with the Trustees' "sincere desire to see this historic brand continue, are cause for a change in the ownership of our Connecticut properties." He mentioned Buckley's over half a century stewardship of "these great call letters."

I've enjoyed perusing your WDRC website. I was mildly associated with DRC in the early 80s through the short-lived New England Broadcasting Institute in Bloomfield. I believe it was started by the Korsens and only lasted a few years. I think the school opened in either 1983 or 1982, but didn't last long. My class was either the first or the second to graduate. Some of the DJs who taught were Floyd Wright, Dave Nagle, Phil … sorry, Phil …, plus Ken Trimble and engineer extraordinaire Tom Ray. There were two practice studios set up, and we got the chance to go on-air at DRC on Sunday nights once we completed the course. I still have the reel-to-reel of my one and only on-air gig. I thought you might like to check into NEBI if only for the purpose of trivia.

Hi Gang... My name is Joe Cipriano, former CT Radio Kid and now voice over artist.
I have a book that has just been released, "Living On Air - Adventures in Broadcasting." It's what I call, "my love letter to radio." I grew up on the air (hence the book title) in Connecticut and like many of you, I started as a teenager in radio. I began at the age of 14 at WWCO in Waterbury (Tom Collins) and eventually worked at WDRC in Hartford (Dave Donovan) before moving on to Washington, DC and later Los Angeles.
The book is a memoir filled with funny stories about the characters I've met along the way in radio and voice overs and how growing up in Connecticut played a huge role in my life and career.
The book is available at any bookseller, but as a CT Media person, I am offering the book with a 25% rebate, if you buy it at here you'll receive a $4.99 rebate after purchase via PayPal. Also, any book purchased here comes autographed and personalized.
There is also an audiobook version of Living On Air and I'm very proud of it. I wanted it to be more of a radio play than just an audiobook. I had composer, Greg Chun score the book and create original music for it. The sound design is beautifully done by AJ McKay with sound effects and imaging that recreates the scenes for a theater of the mind experience.
The audiobook is on audible.com and if you sign up with audible, you can actually get it for free. Here is the the link for the audiobook. If you would like to hear a 5 minute audio sample of Living On Air, the audiobook, you can listen to that here.
Wishing you all the best in 2014.

A soft-spoken, very gentlemanly guy, he was liked and respected by all with whom he came in contact.

Please forward to all I may have missed who might be interested. Those who knew him or were his fans will find this of great interest. Barry Grant was a true original, an innovator who made a great impression just by being Barry. When I worked with him at WDRC-FM, his most salient program direction was, "Do your version of what I do!"

We sadly lost our dear friend Barry Grant this past October. We all deeply miss him, especially that warm and infectious smile he always gave to anyone who was fortunate enough to have met him.
On Sunday, July 14th from 12-6pm at Shea's All American Grill in Manchester, we will be honoring Barry with a celebration of his life by offering an entire day of what Barry loved most.....live music performed by all of Barry's favorite musician friends. This will be the day for us to thank Barry for all the support he gave to all of us! Many bands are donating their talents to make this a very special day!
We have decided to keep the ticket price at only $10.00 each which is a steal for all the AMAZING bands and musicians that will be playing back to back all afternoon! Also, tickets may be purchased in advance by sending a check for $10 pp to Kenny Hicks, 968 Pucker St, Coventry, CT 06238. You can contact Kenny at (860) 742-0739 for any info and/or ticket purchases etc. All proceeds from the BarryFest will be used to cover any costs associated with the logistics of putting on the event and any funds left over will be donated to a charity to be named later (perhaps an animal rescue since Barry LOVED his Jack Russell Terriers!) but we haven't decided. The bands and musicians who will be donating their talent to perform for all of us in Barry's honor (not in any specific order of appearance) that day will be:
This will be a very special day for a very special person who we all miss dearly!

It's been a long time since I visited the site. Was thinking of 'DRC this morning and have spent almost three hours going back on old times. I never worked for "Big D," but I had a connection through Charlie Parker who gave me permission to tape music from the library for a weekly show I did on a closed circuit station at the V.A. Hospital in Newington. I grew up a few miles from the transmitter site in Bloomfield. Ever since I can remember I have loved radio. While in the service I worked for AFRS and did a daily show for a short time at the AFRS station on Kwajalein, in the Marshall Islands in the mid '50's. I listened to Big D every day starting with the format change 1960. I remember Art Johnson, who did the 10am/2pm shift signing off for news, after doing the "old format" morning show and then signing back on a little after noon with the "New" format. I had many conversations with Aaron Shepard when calling in news tips. I got a little melancholy today reading about the many old 'DRC personalities who have passed away. In closing I simply have this to say, "THOSE WE'RE THE DAYS!"

Back in the early to mid 70's, Pete Ross was the "utility" man at WDRC. Whenever any air staff member had his day off, Ross filled in. I had recently seen a post on radiodiscussions.com that Gary Peters had passed away on Jan 3rd. I was very suspicious that somehow I knew that name. As I suspected, it was the man I knew as Pete. I recall when WDRC was doing a remote from the Manchester Parkade in front of "Treasure City", I had stopped by to see Pete just to say hi. He was gracious enough to invite me in Mobile Studio D's "Green Room" to talk about how I was doing at CSB. During this discussion, he told me to call him Gary (boy, was I confused). You see, I used to get the key to open CSB on the 6th floor from him when he subbed for the late Barry Grant in the DRC-FM studio on the 15th floor at 750 Main Street. We talked regularly. Then, after CSB, I would call him frequently to discuss how my pursuit of an air shift was going. He was always very encouraging, telling me not to give up over and over again. It always seemed like we were close, personal friends although we weren't. I am so grateful to Pete; uh Gary for his on-going inspirational support. His real name is Gary Almeida. Gary, thanks for everything. Rest in peace. . .

I just wanted to thank you for this great nostalgic site. I grew up near WDRC and could see "The Fun Towers" from my back yard. I got a crystal radio for Christmas one year..... remember those? It was red and looked like a rocket ship with a retractable antenna. Of course the only station I could receive was "The Big D." Fine with me, it was my favorite station. I'm retired now and live in South Florida. I saw Dickie Robinson on local TV here....how cool is that? What fond memories. Take care.

I have so many great memories of Barry. My dad Charlie Parker, Program director of WDRC, first met Barry when I was in Manchester, CT looking at a car at Rod Allen's house. I believe that in the early 70's Rod was doing overnights at DRC-FM. Barry was working at WAAF-FM back then. He and my dad hit it off immediately, and before we knew it Barry was doing Grant's Tomb on BIG D. My dad made Barry Program Director of the FM for awhile. Barry really knew his stuff. He was well respected by both the radio industry and music industry. He used to hang out with the local and national bands. Barry had more great stories about some of the most well known bands that he supported and got started.
When he returned to WDRC he was seen on TV during Saturday Night Live doing a commercial for the FM. One of his props was a rubber chicken! My dad and Barry laughed so hard. Barry had such a fantastic sense of humor. A Genius in the industry with a wild sense of humor. No doubt why he and my dad hit it off instantly. And he loved his Corvettes! I saw him a few weeks ago and he was still driving one!
If there is a Rock N' Roll Heaven, well you know they have a hell of an overnight guy now. Our loss is WGOD's gain. God Bless You Barry. May you forever rest in peace in Grant's Tomb. Your Big D Brother,

Just heard from a reliable friend that Barry Grant has passed away. Just thought you'd like to know. By the way, I first met Barry back in '73 when I attended CSB. I would arrive at 750 Main around 5am so I could sit with Barry for a short while before I would get the keys to open CSB for the day. . .

Re: Don Wade's illness...
It was Don who agreed to listen to my very first aircheck in 1967 and made some generally pleasant comments about it, then sent me in to see Charlie Parker because I wanted to "steal" WDRC's jingle package to cut up for WBRU (AM) at Brown, where I was the PD at the time. It was that introduction which lead Charlie to hire me on the spot when he asked to hear the aircheck I had just played for Don and still had tucked under my arm (if you recall, 1967 was the year the FCC required AM and FM operations to stop simulcasting for at least 12 hours every day, and Charlie was...ahem...desperate to fill his slots on FM). At any rate, WDRC became my second professional gig, and I have in part Don Wade's generosity to thank for it.

What a hoot! I vaguely remember Joel Cash, as I was (and am) a little younger than you. I never listened to WPOP, as I was loyal to WDRC. The rivalry was great, and it extended to two groups of kids' support in my school (RHAM High, Hebron). Specifically, I remember the song "Concrete and Clay" which both stations jumped on. However, WDRC played only the version by the Unit For Plus Two, while WPOP would not play that version, but played only the version by Eddie Rambeau. Nationally, both charted about the same, with the Unit Four Plus Two going to #28, while Eddie Rambeau peaked at #35. I made sure that our school hired only WDRC Deejays for dances. Pretty intense.

I thought you'd get a nostalgic kick out of this!
I found the letter shown in the attached scans in my "To Be Sorted" pile. It's a pre-ZIP Code (1962), hand-typewritten letter signed by DJ Joel Cash on WDRC original letterhead welcoming me to the "JOEL CASH-EW NUT CLUB"!
You will notice my address on the envelope was in Glastonbury, CT. The letter dates from my high school days. Growing up in a rural suburb of Hartford, I always turned the radio dial back and forth between WDRC (1360 AM) and WPOP (1410), following each station's weekly surveys, and listening to the Swingin' Six or Friendly Five DJs on 'DRC and the wild guys on 'POP.
On New Year's Eve in 1963, I listened to both stations, but I had heard that Murray the K was broadcasting a Top (50 or 100?) Hits of 1963 on NYC's station WINS and the printed survey was available by mail! My radio couldn't tune in WINS, so I sent for a copy of the survey and it arrived 3 or 4 weeks later, autographed by the future "5th Beatle" himself! I no longer have my survey collection; it's in the safe hands of Ed Brouder. Enjoy the attached images from 1962! (It's a good thing collectors never throw anything away!)

Just checking in – I noticed there was only one other 2012 e-mail so far on the WDRCOBG site; maybe this will help to stir the pot a bit and get some more people to check in!
Over the last couple of years, in addition to my "day gig" in voice-overs (24 years so far, 22 of them fulltime, and still going strong), I am now playing in an all-original music band, "Rob Carlson & Benefit Street." Rob is a long-time working professional musician and impressive songwriter; he has also done a lot of radio production over the years. Rob and I go back to a college group, also called Benefit Street. Although the group had a top 10 hit in Rhode Island under an earlier name (The American Dream, "Love Is a Beautiful Thing" – I think Bob DeCarlo was still at WICE when it hit), that band's album never got released in its proper time. However, it is now out on CD (including the American Dream tracks) on Presence Records. Click here for the band's history, as well as links to buy the CD or download tracks. I tried to make it as thorough and respectful of the band as WDRCOBG is to the radio stations; you were my role model, Ed! And as always, I maintain my voice-over website.
Hope all is well with you and all of us surviving alumni. I've had the chance to hang out with quite a few of us at Lee Gordon's Connecticut radio reunions, and although I missed the one in '11, I'm looking forward to more this year. CT radio may not now be what it once was, but I'm happy to be part of its illustrious history and to have worked with some of the most talented people ever to grace the radio industry.
Onward and upward
