The weather was excellent, and we were operating out of a pop-up tent. Lots of people wandered by; one mentioned that she lived outside our station's coverage area but hated our competitor; we gave her our URL and told her how to get us online. We had to sign off in the middle of the afternoon to make way for a high school soccer game the station was scheduled to air. It was being played in a field where there's no power, so we loaded two 70-pound deep cycle marine batteries into the play-by-play announcer's car; he and the color guy did the whole game off those batteries, using a Verizon mobile router to get the game broadcast back to the studio, where I was hooking up some equipment so a station in southern Vermont can air Boston Bruins games later this fall. The central VT station has a unique country format that includes a good deal of bluegrass ("too twangy for you? well, that's too bad!"). The general manager is fond of playing bluegrass versions of pop or rock tunes; two such, "Billie Jean" and "Everybody Wants to Rule The World", aired back-to-back while we were at the fair. It was a refreshing change from my usual routine. umar
