Oheinen viesti IRCA:n ryhmästä:
WANB in Waynesburg, PA, my hometown station, is now on air with a 5 kw
signal on 1210 daytime (710w critical hours). The old 1580 (which signed on
in 1958 as I recall, 51 yrs ago, when I was 14) is gone. Not sure when they
made the freq switch, but must have been this week, as I heard them on 1580
a few days ago (being clobbered by the 1580 in Morningside, MD, only a few
miles from the XR). The new 1210 XR site is actually in Uniontown, PA, 25
miles east of Waynesburg, but the 5 kw puts a powerhouse signal into our
town -- and Pittsburgh's south side. I grew up with "Wan-bee," as we called
the station. I worked there briefly as a tech the summer after high school.
In those days, it was a 250w daytimer, with the most distant dx report from
British Columbia. My daughter was on-air talent there from her junior year
in high school thru college, Sunday mornings (I often listened to her 6 a.m.
sign-on). Format is "Cool Country."
