National Effort To Establish Connection. (NEEC) Day 7

I'm tempted to start taking a Bayer or two for the cold. If Don wants me to keep writing each day like this amongst freezing my ears and tail off in this Godforsaken attic space if you will, cause that's really what it is. Sure we got a roof over our heads, but doesn't matter when there's no heating up here, and all the foot traffic by construction on the soon-to-start antenna on the top of the McAlpin. It'd be nice to replace that Aerial we've been using since last year then. Flamm is confident we are days away from the okeh from the DOC, so he's already getting contracting in order. The door's been open so much that that Russel's coffee has turned to Ice. Serves him right for turning the entire building into an antenna.

We wound up the phonograph for a couple plays today for DXers. Played something by Carl Fenton which someone in Yorkville picked up in "great clarity" they said when they called in. We tried to play some Jazz like Ralph Williams, but we haven't worked out how to get around distortion yet. I wonder if Eugene will play any of that when we get up and running officially? Speaking of him, me and Dickson got into conversating with him on our way up this morning. We may be getting that string player Arthur Baecht who plays in the evening over WNYC, to join his band when we actually get our callsign. Now That would be something worth hearing! If that's the type of thing we should expect to hear and people we meet, then maybe I'll stay on our 50 days are over. Let's just Stabilize for now.

National Effort To Establish Connection. (NEEC) Day 6.

I'm still ticked off about Russel. I don't know how I'm supposed to get past that. If It were up to me, I'd still say do away with him, hell even let him loose to some print-jockeys and let them have their way with him for what he's done. No.. they'd probably play up the technological genius of it all, and make him another "win" and celebrity for Stanford. That being if they can understand the concept of a damned Fahnestock connector, and the difference between a few watts, and an entire 25 stories of the McAlpin. For now though, we're keeping a close eye on him, and I can tell that he's all shaken up about it. I don't want to go on about it, or I'll end up ranting again like yesterday.

The only upside of this is, we're hearing some good things from the Commerce. We may have a license soon. We got lucky this time. Donald is still eager to do more broadcasts attempts, but among having to undo Russel's mistakes, it will likely be a couple more days if not a week before I feel comfortable doing testing. Let the potential flames die down a bit. I'm not afraid of threatening to quit if Don tries to go over my head. I don't care if he's the funding and the "owner", We have done more than he has. I'm sure I could win over the rest of the boys. Doubt he's ready to "put a sock in the project", says Melton. I beleive him.
