| Can Fayetteville downtown get hip?
Nancy Price wants to change that. She's the director of Fayetteville Mainstreet, an organization that markets downtown. Its new Web site — www .downtownfayetteville.org — lists available properties downtown. The site also outlines incentives the city offers for businesses interested in moving downtown, such as reduced impact fees. Price would like a restaurant on the Square. "Having food on the Square would bring more people and more energy downtown," she said. Several years ago, the Famous Fish Co. expressed interest in opening a location downtown, but the restaurant went out of business before it could happen. The storefront sits vacant on South Glynn Street, awaiting further renovation. It's one of several vacant buildings on the Square.
Antique Wireless Technology Spins for Fessenden Transmission ...
A Christmas Eve CW transmission from the SAQ Alexanderson alternator site in Grimeton, Sweden, drew a raft of reports, 166 in all, most from Europe. SAQ's 200 kW signal on 17.2 kHz was barely readable in North America, however. The holiday transmission from the historic site on Sweden's west coast marked the 100th anniversary of Reginald Fessenden's landmark voice broadcast from Brant Rock, Massachusetts, on Christmas Eve 1906. "The conditions this time were not the best," Lars Klland, SM6NM, said of the December 24, 2006, transmission. "It was much better in the last winter transmission, 19th Feb 2006. The transmission was received in the USA, but very weak." Six listeners in the US were able to copy all or part of SAQ's transmission, including Jay Rusgrove, W1VD, in Connecticut, who gave SAQ a 349 to 449 report.
