The title says it all. I'm rather flabbergasted as this marks the third time they've done this.
The FCC granted WCOX (AM) an STA to run at "licensed" parameters as is customary, but the station's been off with a busted transmitter and a felled tower for well over a year now, I think.
WYVC also stayed on during license reconsideration, but as far as anyone can tell, they're using the wrong antenna from an unauthorized site, making something like 25 or 30 kW on a license for 6 kW.
What does it take to get a Fed off his butt and down to inspect this terrible setup? I realize the sole owner of "Down Home Broadcasting" is an 85 year old pastor with little income, but that's no excuse to run willy-nilly outside the parameters of the license. The guy truly thinks he can do what he wants…
