WJJD SURVEY POSTINGS |
Ben E. McCoy |
| | thanks Gary for the reply. understood now it is, the situation faced with the
original postings.
one suggestion to try BEFORE scanning in survey hardcopies that are actually much
smaller than standard page-size:
try enlarging the original hardcopy to a much larger page-size via a photoshop
program, then scan THAT copy into your system memory for downloading same... it's
always worked for me in the past.
however, as i said before, trying to enlarge a less-than-standard page-sized
downloaded survey image only yields an image where the chart listings are merely
jumbled pixels and thus, unreadable for printout purposes. |

RE: WHOOPS - WRONG CALL LETTERS, RIGHT STATION! |
Gary Pfeifer |
| | Ben,
I'm the one who's been uploading the WJJD surveys. The images of the surveys
I've uploaded are the only ones I have - there aren't any larger or better quality
images in my possession. If anyone has better quality images, please feel free to
upload. |

WHOOPS - WRONG CALL LETTERS, RIGHT STATION! |
Ben E. McCoy |
| | gee whiz, Gang, most sorry about the calls mixup...
meant to say i have been having downloaded image/printout
problems for surveys posted for "W-J-J-D for Greater Chicago", circa mid-1950's.
that's WJJD-AM, and somehow all the call letters lately have gotten me tongue-tied
due to the onset of the Christmas rush blues - at least for me.
thanks Geno for helping me set things straight here. |

WJJD not WWDJ |
Geno Rice |
| | Please guys, WWDJ was a short lived top 40 station in NYC in the early seventies --
WJJD was a heritage rocker in Chicago. To add some content to my rant, after the
demise of its top 40 format, WWDJ was for some 30 years all religious; recently it
went all right-wing talk, with new calls WNYM. |

POSTSCRIPT - WWDJ SURVEYS |
Ben E. McCoy |
| | BTW, Roy: if it could be arranged, i would be glad to
send you a copy of a printed-out survey version from my end so you could personally
see the difficulty of the too-small-that-are-posted WWDJ download images i am
dealing with.
thanks, ben. |

WWDJ SURVEYS LARGE ENOUGH? |
Ben E. McCoy |
| | Roy,
although, at my end, the WWDJ - Chicago surveys may appear just barely large enough
to read the fine print (individual listings, etc.) by extremely close examination, i
have been unable to reproduce them -- printwise... printing-out ONLY the 'exact'
size of the downloaded (clicked-on) version (then double-clicked for largest size
possible), renders a copy that is unreadable -- except, maybe, my microscope. and
when i have tried enlarging the WWDJ survey images myself via photo enhancing
programs and then print those revised versions out, the copies produced are merely
jumbled pixled chart listings.
in other words, if that SECOND CLICK for the ARSA download image could yield a much
larger PAGE-size image, then the subsequent printouts for my collection would be
legible.
i hope this better explains the sitution! |

WWDJ SURVEY IMAGES |
Ben E. McCoy |
| | this might be an improbable question:
is there ANY way to have the WWDJ surveys IMAGES ENLARGED
to the point where they are easily readable on one's
computer screen and/or can be printed out legibly???
Note: clicking on the images BARELY enlarges the
survey to no real significant effect... have tried to increase size on downloaded
images for print-out, but result is jumbled-pixels GIGO!
this station's historic importance as an early "Pop Music" broadcaster in the
mid-1950's would be best served by
providing clearly discernable survey images as part of ARSA's national archives. |

CHUM |
Toronto |
RE: 1981-11-28 / CHUM ( Toronto, Ontario ) |
ARSA Jim |
| | Problem solved, Kenn. "Tainted Love" had additional title info included for its
listing, due to its 11th-hour resurgent 1982 chart comeback, due in large part to a
new promo 45 medley/remix sent to radio, with "Where Did Our Love Go". ARSA wrongly
thought that the 90's remix was a more exact "title" match. I just went ahead and
merged/deleted the remix, until such time as we actually need it for a survey.
Thanks as always, buddy! -Jim |

1981-11-28 / CHUM ( Toronto, Ontario ) |
K.A. Scott |
| | Hi Jim...
For some reason, the 1981 song "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell is redirecting to the
decade-later remix, credited to Soft Cell vs. Club 69. Hope this is an easy fix!
(Note that "Tainted Love" redirects incorrectly not just for this survey, but for
*all* CHUM surveys in 1981 -- though, oddly, not for any of its CHUM appearances in
1982!)
Cheesr,
- Kenn. |

More than one "Stations" ARSA entry for the same call letters.. |
ARSA Jim |
| | Tim, is there any way we can get an ARSA "merge duplicate station call letters
entry", like you already have for songs/artists? There are definitely some
instances where some surveys align with one instance of a station's calls, while
others align with another. Perhaps this will help Rick with his recent survey entry
problems. ARSA also needs to solve that long-standing "CHUM/CHUM-FM" chart issue,
for the same date (one station was Top 40, the other AOR) not being allowed by ARSA
to both be input, claiming "duplicate survey trying to be entered in", which is in
fact not true. Tim, the way you have it set up now, I've had to leave the "AM" or
"FM" band info inside the call letters field for CHUM, which I don't believe was
your original intent here. After all, that what the "band" field is for! Thanks!

| | rick, i have the similar situation as there are two kya stations. in the drop down
list i click on the wrong station first, and then go back and click the one i want.

Rick Hy |
| | As I try to enter surveys from WMJQ AND WGRQ, Buffalo, I find that there are other
stations also listed with the same call letters. When I click on the Buffalo
listing as instructed, nothing happens. Because of that, I can't go on with adding
the next surveys. Am I missing something ? Sorry to keep bugging you! |

ONE FOR THE BOOKS ALREADY! |
Ben E. McCoy |
| | geeze, Roy,
if you were, heretofore, already that close to the 400 postings mark without
inputing any major league errors, outs or fouls, then i'd say you most certainly do
qualify for Numero Uno in any Record Book! |

KYA Survey Posting Incorrect |
Ben E. McCoy |
| | hi gentlemen:
just noticed the latest survey posting for radio KYA,
issue #270 dated for 30 July 1962, has a problem...
the typewritten portion of the partial survey listing is shown as "Issue 269 dated
for 23 July 1962"!
probably just a mix-up, but that posting needs correction so as to agree with the
imaged survey, alrighty? |
