w279bk 92.5 rebroadcasting 1250 WPGP

S

sparks

I might be late to the game on this one. I was scanning the FM band this morning and found a new signal on 92.5. I was located in the Bloomfield section of Pittsburgh when I found it. From the FCC's FM Query page, it reports to be 110 watts horizontal and 73 watts vertical. It is directional with nulls to the Northwest and Southeast.

If you follow the link, scroll to the bottom of the page.

When I leave my office on Penn Avenue in the Bloomfield section of Pittsburgh heading home in the North Hills, within a minute or two the signal is gone. I can't pick it up again until I return to work the next morning. The WAMO 100.1 translator is next to the 1250 site and it covers to my house in Hampton Township with 99 watts. I expected similar coverage. Oh well.

Yes. For a long period owned by Hearst, and part of their AM/FM/TV cluster. TV station used to advertise in the trades with the slogan, "Take Tae and see".

WAMO gets amazing coverage out of 99 watts. I drove from Upper St. Clair to the airport and was
able to listen almost the entire way there.
