Orlando AM radio

[oh_hell_naa]

I have a question about Orlando AM radio..

Do AM stations in Orlando strong enough to be heard in New Symrna Beach and Daytona Beach?

Will people in Volusia County be able to hear 810AM WEUS when Air America Radio signs on?

New Smyrna Beach will be within the fringe 0.5mv/M (daytime) protected coverage area.

Daytona will not, but neither will portions of Walt Disney World, even though
Disney is closer to the transmitter site.

(drum roll, please) For New Smyrna Beach, as of December, 2005, here are the Top 6 daytime AM signals from the Orlando metropolitan area...

#1... 540, WFLF, with a stronger signal than any Daytona AM (Daytona stations are historically considered to be *almost* local stations by New Smyrnans).

#2... 1030, WONQ, almost as strong as WFLF, and less susceptible to some kinds of AM noise. Again, depending on location, as strong or stronger than WROD.

#3... 740, WQTM, solid in NSB.

#4... 580, WDBO, historically the strongest Orlando AM signal in NSB, eclipsed in recent years by the upgrades listed above.

#4... 990, WDYZ, a virtual tie for the historical Radio WHOO this signal greatly improved with the 10,000 to 50,000 watt upgrade in 1968(?).

#6... 950, WTLN, the upgrade made a noticeable improvement for the former Channel 95, WLOF, Orlando, the Action Center of Florida. Your WLOF Much More Music Time (twin tones)... 10:00. I'm Bill Vermillion.
