"The Jersey Shore Shuffle"

[satech]

I have a feeling this creator is or was associated, had ties to, or was a former employee of WJRZ. Or, maybe it could be that guy who did 104.7 WZVU ;D

Maybe they could voicetrack him like Wolfman Jack, but Sal Anthony passed away a few years ago.

The high school station we're talking about is like the opposite of a pirate. It has a license and is off the air.

Rules are rules. Off-the-air for a year or more they revoke your license.

Not so. If it is a non-comm, the rules are different.

Look at WQXR and 96.7 since the metamorphose.

Yea, but you don't see W244AS off the air like 91.9. That's the point. Remember when X was on 96.7 for a month? It was better than just having that translator completely off the air until QXR kicked in. Non-comm or not, if you're off the air wasting a frequency, either surrender your license, or sell the station.

You should look the non-comm rules up some time. If you are off-the-air for one year you loose your license.

He might have used it properly. Again I bring up WMCX off in Summer, on in Winter.
Try doing that with a commercial license. The rules are “loose”ned for non-comms.

And, again, instead of complaining, why not approach the Brick BofE about helping them to keep an active signal for their license. (read my previous response on this thread.)

Some of you seem to want to ignore an obvious solution in favor of an immature rant.

I remember that month of X on 96.7 and you guys were complaining then, too.

The Brick BofE are not interested in putting the station on the air. They have a new TV station that all of their financial resources are poured into. Another engineer and myself have approached them and they were not interested in putting it back on the air.

What do you want from an engineer? It's not like I'm a "radio personality". That takes all kinds of special skills.

Then, it should be a slam drunk.
Apply! You are in a very enviable position. An attorney should be able to advise you further.

Since the current licensee is not interested in it, challenge them.

An official letterhead gets immediate attention.

I'll be watching this one. It could have ripple effects throughout the country.

P.S. You have a lot of leg work ahead of you. Once you start it, see it through. Otherwise, it could work against other pirates looking to legalize themselves.

Can't do that until their license comes up for renewal.

What license? By the way you guys are talking, it's gone!

Have you even tried?

My guess is that you are spending so much time complaining about it, you are not even allowing yourselves the possibilities.

They aren't selling it. IF the license hasn't been deleted before it comes up for renewal the only way you can petition for a non-comm is during the license renewal process.

I'd rather have the license go unused than gobbled up by a religious station.

The school could sell the license they have and won't use and make quite a bit of money.

It is a class A station but not sure what it would actually be worth. I would love to know what the signal will be like now with a new 5KW station on 91.9 in Barnegat.

Even though that is at 91.9, WBGD is outside of the "protected" contour. How far can you receive it, clearly in the car? Somebody will answer that, I'm sure. They may not be at maximum signal,yet.

Sounds as though they are near 98.5/105.7's antenna.

Brick has more population around that per square mile than down there. But the NY signals are stronger.

Interesting wrinkle...

I'd still go after it for reasons I will not disclose here.

Heard the shuffle last night and it was on 104.1. Recieved it from Exit 82 to the 2nd Wawa on 37 West.

Listening to JSS stream this weekend more then Rewound WABC Radio. Imaging and music is great!! I don't know who's behind it but I like it. Keep up the good work JSS

Well tell the radio waves that. I heard it well into Brick today and it is only running half power. Maaybe they should try to buy it and sync the oscillators up. It isn't going to be good to anyone else.

WBNJ is limited to about 20% toward WBGD. That's about 900 watts,
which at their height, is good for maybe 10 miles with a good signal.

The stations are 25 miles apart.

Both stations will cover their licensed service area just fine.

It's amazing what you can hear on a frequency when the local station is
off the air due to power outage or transmitter problems, etc.

I've heard stations hundreds of miles away right at the tower site of an
off air station. BUT ... put a few watts on and the distant station gets
blocked right out. That's the cool thing about FM.

Now band conditions present a whole new issue!
