Jim Corbett, WUSC member-atJarge, said during the first few weeks of the increase the station experienced technical problems. He said after the kinks were worked out, the station returned to "normalcy." The station increased from 10 to (fr 3,000 watts and switched its frequency !to 90.5 from 91.9 Feb. 25. WUSC is still the "new kid on the block" and will be for a while, but the increase has brought the station credibility in the community, Corbett said. i People as far away as Pelion and Newberry who were surprised to hear the station on the radio have called the station. A disc jockey from Columbia radio station WZLD-FM sent WUSCjj FM a "welcome to the air" letter shortly after the power increase. I i 'jfc "People who have never heard us if before have called and said 'glad to J'fc hear you,'" Corbett said.

Because of the power increase, WUSC has had to institute a comprehensive program to train people more responsibly for the air, Fink said.

"We are not in competition with the community stations," Corbett said. He said he sees no big changes occurring in the immediate future because all the major changes have already taken place. Now WUSC will be refining and readjusting its music as they do every semester, he said. "I think for residents of the Midlands the success of alternative 90.5 will show the public that hearing, not seeing, is believable," Fink said.
