On 2/14 and again today 2/17, both around 1045L, I heard a strong, S9+10
open carrier on 960. Usually I can barely detect a carrier from
presumed Cuban Radio Reloj, Guantanamo.
From info found in the FCC DB and at Radio-Locator, it would appear WPBI
in North Palm Beach, FL, is preparing to go on the air, reportedly with a
nostalgia format. Seems with those call letters they should be in
West Palm Beach right next to the Palm Beach International (PBI)
airport.
This is apparently a call sign change from 960 WGGT, but efforts to find
more on this were met with FCC DB server errors and history records could
not be accessed.
Specifics for the new WPBI 960 station from Radio-Locator are:
