[IRCA] Re: Need some help IDing TIS stations

["Bill" <wharms@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The one you heard as "Reeves" is actually WPZX365.  It is owned and operated by 
the City of Leeds, 8373 1st Ave, Leeds, GA 35094 and the transmitter is located at 
Interstate 20 at Highway SR 78 interchange.

The  www.oconeecounty.com one is WPQX600. It is owned and operated by the 
Oconee CountyEmergency Services, and the transmitter is located in Watkinsville at 
the address you heard the zip code is 30677.

Both stations use 10 watts
