And speaking of WBCA their old engineer says the old
RCA if they use it can't run the 2500 watts for
critical hours either. IF they are really strong at
night, they are running full bore. They had even
movced offices and failed to notify the FCC and do an
adress forwarding. Since I "tattle" for Atlanta, they
asked me if I had a better address than the one they
had (!!!!) This was a few years ago.
