Pembroke 257C1 (99.3) - Auction 109

R

RF101

The specs for the new Pembroke FM have now been posted. The new owner will be Nelson Rodridguez out of Lawrenceville who also owns WJES in Maysville, Georgia.

For a 100kw ERP station the coverage looks marginal, It will not be located on the GPTV Pembroke tower but instead at the 99.1-meter level of an existing 128.9-meter tower much further west (ASR 1284368) , using a standard 7-bay, full-wave-spaced, circularly polarized antenna.

It looks like this will not be much of a Savannah rimshotter: 70 DBU : 74,607 pop 60 DBU : 276,088 pop.

The auction price was $300,000 . You do the math for the price per 1K.

That signal can’t be located on the ETV Tower due to spacing limitations caused by the 98.7 licensed to Beaufort Sc. The only way to get a full C1 signal would be to build a new 1000 ft tower and the area to locate such a tower is very very small.
 
I remember many years ago what is now WTHB-FM was located on a lower tier of the channel 20 GPTV Wrens tower. Not sure what the current state is but I see they're now a C3 and not a Class A.

So, will this be a non-secular formatted spanish station on 99.3 I assume?

That’s what it appears. A waste if you ask me. Really damn good spot for a a 100K watt station that would cover Statesboro and yes Savannah (though limited building penetration). Never can tell though - Owner may try something different. Who knows! This frequency has been talked about for nearly 20 years now.
