NPR in fort walton beach?

R

Rob

When i went to olive garden, i tuned around and the radio and heard "all things considered" this was on 94.5. I went back home and when I pulled in, I tuned again and heard "the fox"

Is this a station in Alabama that was coming in? Strange how the fox was coming in loud and clear at my home, not in O'Garden.

Probably W233BH, a 170--watt translator licensed to Florida State University and located right in the middle of FWB.
 
where does "the fox" come from?

looking up radio-locater it doesn't exist. (94.5 NPR)
 
94.5 The Fox is out of Panama City. The translator on 94.5 in FWB is fairly new and probably hasn't made it into the Radio-Locator database.
 
Holy crap! That's 75 miles away. I wonder if I can get WMBB DT on my new tele with a good indoor antenna?

I really want a 80 foot tower (80+70 feet) and a good long distance FM/VHF/UHF antenna for dxing and watching stations that Cox doesn't receive. (such as WMBB)

no way you can pull in WMBB-DT inside. im in panama city beach, even i can't do it.
 
I love it. They need a drive through though. You can't pick up WMBB's DT? I can hear the audio on 13 with my piece of crap CCRadio (at times)

How did a station from Panama City get a translator in Fort walton (Who owns it). Explain please, and could other stations use the same argument.
 
Nothing too special, since WFSW is a non-commercial station. They applied during the translator window back in 2003.

Commercial stations can only own translators within their 60 dBu coverage area, but non-commercials can place them anywhere. Under 92 Mhz, it can be fed by satellite, but in the commerical part of the band it must be an over the air feed.
 
Panama City has two.. two NPR stations. Too bad they can't move one 100KW station to the FWB area. 88.1 here broadcasts local flavour and not NPR (except some shows)

One station there is owned by the Tallahassee state university (i think)
