Is the now deleted WKVG's FM translator on 103.5 still on?
unfortunately yes its still jamming 103.5 wimz signed in harlan ky
So, there's no WKVG anymore, but the FM translator is originating programming? That's not good.
Does WIFX or somebody or else close have an HD2or 3 they can rent?
A translator is NOT allowed to originate programming.
got a bad feeling that klove is coming
Based on what? They already have a klove station there.
Not to be repetitive, but are you absolutely sure this translator is airing programming from the now deleted WKVG? Have you heard any "station identification"?
dead carrier on 103.5 no programming yet
boy oh boy can't wait to hear 103.5 the buzz out of hyden ky translating 1025 the fuzz. and they are asking for donations extremely weak
First place I ever worked for radio when it was WIFX. The station had no signal due to the lack of ground conductivity. Tower was atop of mountain.
Is the old WKVG tower up on the mountain along the KY/VA state line? An AM on a mountaintop makes little sense. AM's need wet feet. Is 103.5 on the old AM tower?
In that part of the world, the valleys are narrow, the hill sides are steep. Relatively flat land is expensive if even available. If you did secure and acre or two, would there be any signal "escape" if 500 to 1500 feet hills surrounded the tower less than a mile away? The valleys' bottom land tends to flood too. Appalachia is difficult country for anything requiring a lot of flat land. It's ridiculously expensive to build roads too. WCHS has towers in top of a ridge. There are some flat areas but they are either houses and towns or farm land. There are unreclaimed strip mines that tend to be flat but the various government agencies want the land back to the original profile. At one time in the 1980's there was a movement to let folks buy the land and farm it but that never gained enough traction to make a difference. What would be the ground conductivity on a field of coal mine waste? I am pretty sure it's not as good as parts of Iowa, Kansas, Texas, etc.
