I think this might be the first time an AM or FM station has simulcast a shortwave station since WRNO in New Orleans back in the day. Just heard WTWW on 93.1 in Lebanon.

WTWW on FM?

Alas, it was only a test.
no doubt the 93.1 was a pirate... nothing shows up on 93.1 in lebanon that is licensed
I asked about the test online and someone confirmed they were testing a translator and an antenna. They may have gotten special permission for the test. The classic hits and oldies they've aired on 5.085 MHz have been pretty popular for a while, so some of the local SW listeners may have asked if they could get on the terrestrial airwaves. Maybe they'll file soon, we'll see. I'd sure be for it.
LOL nothing like this would qualify for a test.... no way the FCC would grant it. Id bet $100 it was a pirate. Stop trying to say otherwise. This wasnt a translator, it was a pirate.

Actually hes not the licensee of WTWW. I think i recall a former manager of WWCR is.
An fm translator cant rebroadcast a shortwave station, neither could an lpfm since WTWW runs commercials and lpfms are non comms. And theres no full power commercial station simulcasting WTWW
Would this be George McClintock? He has not been the manager of WWCR since 2005, when the ownership of WWCR (the Westenberger family) forced him into retirement. I wondered what he had done since then.
