Re: [IRCA] WIGT-1690 - does it exist?

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

THis station was originally supposed to be 10kw day.. so i wonder how
much of a difference 10kw vs 1kw would make out there with a tower
just a few hundred yards from the water.  Three Angels still owns WGOD
1090, a 250 watt daytimer but they lease it to a local college and
also have 50kw WGOD 97.9 as well.
