Just noticed WAMB has a construction permit, granted this spring, to downgrade from 50kW to 10kW days. I would guess this was a cost saving measure, since there wasn't a DA to maintain.

WAMB Construction Permit

They could be already operating at 10 kW. I don't notice much of a difference between their day power and critical hours, which is 3.8 kW. As it is now, I can barely get the stereo light to come on with assistance from the external antenna in Macon County.
I think WAMB was granted for a small night time authorization with four towers. I drove by a couple years ago and saw four towers there, but I don't think they ever used the other three for the directional.

Same here. Not sure if it has anything to do with the sale to Moody or not. They did file an app to move one of its translators and increase power and from a photo I saw a month or so ago, it seems they didn't waste any time moving the translator.
EDIT: Moody's now is the licensee of WAMB. Dated on the 10th and filed yesterday:
[SIZE=-1]WAMB TEMPORARY STA
THE LICENSEE JUST ACQUIRED THE STATION AND HAS TAKEN IT SILENT TO IMPLEMENT NEEDED REPAIRS ON THE TECHNICAL FACILITES FOR WAMB. UPON COMPLETION OF REPAIRS IT WILL BE RETURNED TO OPERATION.[/SIZE]
New call sign is WFCN

Any idea when WFCN will return to the air?
You mean 98.7? Well, probably none in Clarksville, because that translator only has a true coverage area from Donelson to downtown Nashville.
I am getting WFCN on 98.7 in Forest Hills, but usually get the Hoptown station from points further west. I am an occasional listener to WHOP, but usually drop them this time of year due to Christmas music.
