Way to go to Z88 on the severe weather coverage this morning! I live in Volusia County and was in the path of that stuff...Z88 did an excellent job in the Seven O'Clock hour!

Hello. I'm not a normal listener of z 88 but here is something interesting. I often travel to southwest palm bay and i noticed z on 2 frequencies. 88.5 and 97.9. now i'm somewhat of a radio enthuziast so forgive me. but i think you should get rid of 88.5 because some parts of palm bay it did not come in because 88.3 bled in to it. but here is a question. i hear that z is increasing 88.3 to 15000 watts. i wonder how that will cover southwest palm bay? i think it would be quite fringed. so i think z should stay on 97.9 because there is no interferance on that channel 
. well i'm done with this topic.

97.9 is W250BH, a "translator" station. It's only allowed to relay some other station, it can't originate its own programs. If 88.3 were to go off the air, 97.9 would have to go off too as it would have nothing to relay.
(well, it could be modified to relay some station other than Z88, but it couldn't just start originating the old Z88 programs itself.)
got ya.
just a warning, and not that it matters, but i'm blind so forgive me if i tend to post "dumb" or "obvious things" i'm just talking of things i have observed.

WPOZ has been granted a construction permit by the FCC to increase the power of 88.3 to 20,000 watts. A condition of the CP is that we turn off the 88.5 signal. That is why we put the 97.9 translator on the air. The construction necessary for the power increase should be completed in the Winter or Spring of 2008.
cool. that makes good sence.
Thanksk for clearing that up Deno.
