Remember that like it was yesterday, I was on-the-air at WAWR-FM in Bowling Green, Ohio when the AP teletype bulletin signal rang. “This is not a test” jumped of the page. Hands shaking, I tore open the envelope containing the official code for the day, and about sh*t myself. LOL
Luckily, cooler heads prevailed, as the program director pointed out that the (at the time) regularly scheduled “test” came across every Saturday morning at that same time. Needless to say, it was a tense half-hour or so.
