It appears the long-defunct MIS low power transmitter that Pinellas County Emergency Management sometimes tries to run is back on the air.
Nominally.
And they have moved it to 1690 kHz (though I do not find an entry for this in the FCC's Wireless Telcom pages).
Sort of, in that it seems to be a malfing ISDN feed (normally this part is a relay of KHB32 National Weather Service VHF audio). Just a huge digital-like white noise hash heard all over the county. The only reason I know it's this one is, because, about every 15-20 minutes, the old "This is WPTI814" ID drops and the hash briefly halts, the ID apparently generated at the transmitter. Which BTW is in the parking lot of the county vehicles compound on Ulmerton Road, almost across from the Larghetto Mall. And no trace of anything on the original 940 kHz frequency (save for a weak WINZ, Miami).
Cheers!
