GCR2 Back Online

Dear Friends and Listeners:

I am happy to report that the GCR2 stream is back online with normal programming. It returned to the air Wednesday, 12/13 at Midnight Eastern. Over the next few days, all the logs will be rebuilt. Our tech, Andrew, did a heroic job getting a new hard drive installed into a like-new computer for us. So we should be set for the foreseeable future.

Thanks to all of you for your patience, understanding and continued support.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Status Update: GCR2

 Dear Friends:

I am sorry to say that the repairs to the GCR2 machine will take longer than previously hoped. Further damage to the hard disk was discovered by our technician. So, the drive itself must be replaced, and then the automation and related files must be reinstalled and rebuilt. At this time, the earliest we can hope for the stream to be back online is Wednesday, December 13th. But, even then, I honestly can't make any promises. Please be assured our computer tech, Andrew, is doing his best to help us get back online. But this is a busy time for him, he is also waiting on parts, and he has other clients and commitments. He and I both ask for everyone to please understand this, and to be patient. One way or another, tough, we WILL be back online soon. The repeating backup loop will run on the GCR2 stream until then. But, if you want fresh content for your station, I suggest switching to either the GCR1 or GCR3 stream, even if on a temporary basis. Your listeners may enjoy the change.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
