WEEEEEEE... WWAV IS DOWN...AGAIN!
- Thread starter Rob
- Start date
Rob -- tell Qauntum I will give them $5M for their signals in Destin and PC. CCENG
has my e-mail address, if you call them and tell them about this offer. They should
NOT have let this happen.
As for the 102.1 transmitter problem, I will make sure the damn things not sitting in a
swamp sinking with rattlesnake infestation and no AC to chill it down. My guess is
the weather has spiked and the overload game is on. It's time to trash that tower
site and I am sure I could get Mark Carter to use his tower for the station that
should have been his anyway. I am going on the way it was, so maybe things have
changed???
I dunno how Qauntum could screw up 103.1 --- but they did. When Mix went from
Jazz to CHR they were pretty great. Whats the format this week?
I have no idea about what the stations in PCB are doing, now, financially. Then,
after getting those stations up and going, it would be time to take over those
Double 0000 stations. The ultimate goal is to make WPFM the boss of the beach,
again....Redneck??? Help????
Then Magic would be double finished and CC would be just fine because we have
to keep Charlie happy. He's got lots of Double A batteries to run the tins cans
down there.
Then we need to rebuild Miracle Strip Amusement Park again and the curse of
"outside" experts ruining the area would begin to stop...

if the AC is down.. OOPS!
the station is down again hearing some preacher coming in now. (probably mobile)
skip has been rather strong here.
hearing PFM and a country station out of MISS.on 107.9
and religion over MIX 103.1 (very weak out here)
I'm rather enjoying KROCK's local content. There's a guy and a girl jock live in studio (forgot their names) during afternoon drive.
I wish the 98.1 sale would be done or the owner would give us a Coast To Coast AM affil for outside of FWB. (1260 is only heard in the apartment buildings on DENTON at night)
There's too much QRM for DXING here thanks to my computers. God what I would give for an 80 foot tower and an outdoor sloper for MW DXING. Tried to hear WLS out of Chicago last night and heard CUBA (gurr)
they did their retro rewind as WABC 770 did too (heard their net feeds.. not the same)

Rob....there is another board on Radio-Info.com called "DX and Reception"....that would be the appropriate place to talk about Dxing and logging stations....no one on here (at least I know of several regulars) is really interested in hearing about your logging...if I am wrong, someone please chime in......I am a ham operator and you never see me posting superfluous junk about that here. Tibbs arranges flowers as a hobby and I have never seen him mention it here either.....Have a nice day.............. ;D
Thanks

Charlie, thanks for the VERY insightful information about HAAT and signal strengths last week. You are right, back in the day it seemed as though the FM dial was not so cluttered with crap. Seems like even in small markets the dial is jammed with too many LPFM's and other wannabe's. What a shame, we can't just limit this and "clean up" the band.
Gulf 104 in Tallahassee used to boom, I recall their antenna was hit/damaged in the 80's, it never seemed to regain the boom and strength after that incident. I remember hearing WPFM 107.9 outside of Ocala one night. Nowadays, that lame classic rock WIND-FM broadcasts on 92.5, 95.5 and you guessed it 107.9.
Good grief, is that really necessary just to cover the Gainesville, Lake City and Ocala Markets? Gimme a break, their ratings are still dismal but yet they hog valuable band with on 3!!?? frequencies.
I do like the punch of WABB and Max 106.7 out of Mobile and Dothan, respectively......

tell me, Rob--What is WWAV's minimum power?

I still think WABB has the best signal in the Panhandle. Can't believe I'm yapping about a great CHR from A-l-a-b-a-m-a. I bet them Jax folks are enjoying this thread.
Stewage, er thanks for the compliment...................

WKMX dropped the "Max 1067" around 1990, adopting "The Best Mix". Dont know what the latest incantation with Magic is though. That seems to change with PD's..who, on average, last about 6 months. BTW, tower is 1149', and maybe Steve has that new "pre-owned" Continental xmtr at full power by now. Preem, any thoughts???
Stewy said:
Wow! I can't believe I missed that. I can pick up WKMX on my car radio (barely) and I have been able to since the early 90's (they didn't have the same coverage in the mid '80's). I hadn't realized they dropped the Max 106 name... I've always thought of it as a "heritage" Dothan station. I guess WOOF and WTVY are the only heritage stations in the Dothan market?
Oh, and I have a turntable and a couple hundred '45s. No '78's though.
