WDIS 1170

[WCIB101.9]

are they gone for good? Or are they just on a hiatus?

not sure--when was the last time someone heard them? I did a quick websearch and found the following from Fybush's site, 2 years ago:

>WDIS (1170 Norfolk) faces a $16,500 fine from the FCC to clear up a paperwork mess surrounding its 1998 license renewal - or lack thereof. WDIS never applied to renew the license that expired April 1, 1998, and it didn't answer the FCC's inquiries about it, either. The WDIS license was cancelled April 30, 1999, and only then did Al Grady's Discussion Radio file a petition for reconsideration and get the license reinstated, telling the Commission that it had been sending its paperwork to an outdated address.

Under radio-locator.com, they don't show up either under "Norfolk MA" or "WDIS"

I heard them while flipping thrugh the dial last Sunday. I've never listened for more than a moment. The audio still sounds like it's coming through a regular low-fi analog telephone line.

So where do WFPB nad WDIS start battling for ground?

They're both so weak in the areas in which they both appear that it's not really an issue.

Both WDIS and WFPB have deep nulls toward each other.

WDIS:http://www.fccinfo.com/CMDProEngine...bSearchType=Appl&sAppIDNumber=419295&sHours=D

WFPB;http://www.fccinfo.com/CMDProEngine...abSearchType=Appl&sAppIDNumber=39300&sHours=D

Hence the weak signals in the overlap area.
