NorthEast Radio Watch reports a new station at 88.1 in Edgartown/Martha's Vineyard will have the
famed WMEX calls. Dennis Jackson is placing them on the new station which will be 150 watts
vertical only.

The listing for the 88.1 CP in Edgartown can be found about halfway down the following page

Religious? NPR?

One can only wait and see.

what about the New Bedford station at 88.1? is that pretty close spacing?

 

[raccoonradio]

Not sure how far 150 watts vertical would go; not sure how many miles it is on the open
water between there and N.B. (radio-locator.com listing for Edgartown says it's about
25-27 mi. to WBSM, WNBH, and WJFD, all licensed to New Bedford)
As for stations on 88.1, WFHL New Bedford reaches Vineyard Haven with fringe signal
but not Edgartown?

If they were in the commercial band they could go classic rock as "the Shark"...Jaws, after all,
was filmed in the area!

Dennis will have a legal station on MV

So what will be the call letters at WMEX FM now???
or is AM 1560 i think wait that WMEX 106.5 FM

 

[raccoonradio]

The former WMEX-FM Farmington NH is now WKHL
(probably stands for "keep His love", "know His love" etc)

>>New Hampshire
Farmington (WKHL) 106.5

I thought the WKHL-FM call letters were on a station in Stamford, CT?

 

[raccoonradio]

They were but changed calls to WCTZ.
On radio-locator.com the link for WKHL turns up the WCTZ "Coast 96.7" page instead (in error)

OK. Thank you for the link. I simply know them as the station which wipes out Hot 97 on my "Walkman" when riding past WWE and the Stamford Transportation Center.

 

[raccoonradio]

yup--apparently they moved their COL (and stick?) to be closer to NYC
