WREK Signal

91.1 doesn't achieve full quieting on a three piece Sony system at home. It quiets fully in the car, but the stereo comes and goes. This just North of Ga hiway 53 from about Braselton to Oakwood. Before the upgrade, it wasn't there at all.
 
The license to cover was filed for today. Program test authority was granted last Thursday. It's probably operating at full power now.

Thanks - Good report! One of our two big nulls is up that way, toward WRAF in Toccoa, so we didn't theoretically increase signal that way much at all.

WREK is about the same as 100.5 WNNX in northern Gwinnett on a small portable radio. This is your weakest area (protecting WWEV). I think WREK is now the best college signal in the market.

Awesome -- never thought I'd hear that!

WREK is actually not having to protect WWEV - there's a bit of distance between those contours. We are protecting are WRAF 90.9 Toccoa and WJTG 91.3 Fort Valley, and to a much lesser extent WCGN 91.3 Calhoun and WAYW 91.1 in Steele, AL.
 
WRAF doesn't have the signal strength in Gwinnett it had a few years back. I have a great receiver and antenna and can't pick it (WRAF) up now. I forgot about it (WRAF), but I'm in the biggest of your four nulls (near Suwanee) and WREK sounds good up here on all radios. Great job! I can remember when the signal was in-and-out on my small portable radio and mp3 player. If I remember, I'll check the signal at 400 and 20 in Forsyth County this weekend.
 
I used the same portable radio at GA 400 and GA 20 in a Forsyth County town the forum software likely won't allow me to post. :D The WREK signal was not there. Victory 91.5 WWEV bled over the 91.1 frequency. It doesn't cross Peachtree Ridge on the northeast null. :(
