107.3 Plains Twp area?

Any idea who's using 107.3 in Plains Twp? I'm hearing something religious on there these days, instead of Rock 107.
 
Ok; seriously. Have either of you listened for a TOH i.d.? I'll put it on, but I'm willing to bet it's Family Radio.
 
Can't hear it in downtown WB. Well, near King's I can hear some Hallelujah music breaking thru the hard rock, but as I drive to the Citizens' Voice, the rock starts coming in full quieting. Is the rock 107.3 on top of the CV building, aimed south? I know something's up there.
 
107.3 is W297AF with 250 Watts at -229 feet licensed to Scranton, PA (It looks like the W297AF tower is in the center of Scranton)
107.3 is also W297AR with 85 Watts at 59 feet licensed to Wilkes-Barre, PA (It looks like the WB translator broadcasts right from the center of the City)

Both of them rebroadcast Rock 107.
 
What I heard as I left King's (my building is on a hill near The Shrine (not ours) on North Street was rock and God fighting it out for fm-capture. On the hill, the Deity seemed to be winning; as I went toward the Citizens' Voice (where Rock 107's translator is), the Devil won out over God. When I returned home, God triumphed.

Somewhere between Scran'un and the Voice of the Citizens' there must be a low-power urging us to mend our ways and repent before The Big Asteroid slams into Earth and Jesus appears in the sky on a big white horse with a banner that reads, "th-th-th-that's all, folks."

Is anyone doing low power "community radio" or are all these stations repeating what's on the big boys?

Uh... I thought that's what we were talking about here. The 107.3 God Squad is a LOW POWER FM not repeating one of the big boys!
 
One of my friends, who does weekend religious radio at WRKC, wanted to get an operation going out of Nanticoke. I wonder if they moved it to Plains? What say, Nigel? That's your neck of the woods. Do you hear a Plains identifier?
 
My money says Family Radio. They have 15 zillion translators, a cheap way to cover large areas of the country without wasting RF to reach cows, prairie dogs and grasslands.
 
I don't doubt that there is a ten-watter near WNAK, but why would the religious station I hear on the hill by the Courthouse be audible here and in Plains, but have to share the freq with an 85-watt rocker on top of the CV building in downtown WB which drowns it out when I start going south?

I'm going to Dundee in a few minutes, so I will see what it's like. My money still says there is something religious north of WB, maybe in a hole in Plains, with Rock 107 translator on top of the CV and Jeeeesus down in Nantycoke.
 
Well, I'll be dipped in chocolate and served up for dessert.

The religious on 107.3 mixed with the rocker on the CV's roof (also on 107.3) all the way thru WB until I got to the Crossroads, then God won over the Devil and it was WHMN-LP, COL Plymouth all the way down.

I stand corrected. The people who report a Jeesus station in Plains may be hearing something else, or they may be peeking thru a hole in the geography and hearing whatever HMN stands for. "LP" probably means "Long Playing Records" or "Long Preacher," or "Lord's Prayer." ;)
