[HCDX] bits and pieces

[Bruce and Rita <bcandrita@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All---a little news from the states:

1440 WTHM Red Lion, PA remains silent (ex relg).  Owner Tom Moffett sold 
it to Susquehanna Broadcasting, based in York.  They didn't want the 1kw 
daytimer, they wanted the land and paid $280,000 for it so they could 
raise a shiny new 700' stick for the FM WSOX 96.1.  It will likely 
remain silent for sometime.  The xmtr is a 1950 Gates BC1F, the backup 
is a homebrew Fred Wise special, and much of the studio gear (boards, 
etc) is homemade as well, and Susquehanna has no idea what to do with 
it.  Possibility---diplexing it into WSBA's 4 tower array north of York 
w/5kw DA.  We shall see.

960 WHYL, Carlisle, PA changes to talk---1/2 conservative, 1/2 liberal, 
with local morning show featuring Bobby Quinn.  Route 81, the owner, is 
without a clue.  Worked there, found that out.  Runs 5kw directional E-W 
daytime, 22 watts night, same DA.

73, Bruce
