Moving WBUV 104.9

N

Nate Wesley

A curious question for the engineers:

WBUV 104.9 (licensed to Moss Point, MS) serves the Biloxi-Gulfport-Pascagoula market. At one time, it targeted the larger Mobile market (IIRC, operating on a different tower closer to Mobile, yet with the same city of license).

Based upon what information you can find, is there much stopping WBUV from moving back east?
 
Depends on how far east you mean. WNSP could be the limiter as a 3rd Adj. You must be at least 34 miles from their transmitter site. Still, that would be roughly on the Mobile-Jackson county line.
 
Yep, that map agrees roughly with what I wrote earlier.

I'm not one of those people equipped to tell you exactly what the coordinates of your new tower could be, but a C2 station on 104.9 could be built in the far eastern portion of Jackson Co., or maybe even the extreme west portion of Mobile Co. without changing the COL. Your 60 dB line would probably be just beyond Mobile Bay.
 
Thanks for the input. I've got sort of a 'fantasy radio' thing I'm working on, and I was curious.
