[IRCA] 1550 on high power tonight

[jki5384486@xxxxxxx]

Marc,
1550 in New Smyrna Beach went dark in the mid 90's. The frequency laid 
dormant until we filed an
app in 99 to move it to Flagler county.  With the increased distance 
from Tampa we were able to go
for more power.
The station in New Smyrna Beach started in 62 as WORT, in the mid 60's 
became WOGO until the change to
WCCZ in the mid 70's.  The tower location was on Smyrna Yacht Club 
Island in the intracoastal wich provided
a perfect salt water ground.  Even in it's 250 watt days up until the 
mid 80's, you could hear it quite easily up                   the coast 
to Charleston, SC.
1550 has been reborn and being the first commercial operation in one of 
the fastest growing counties in the US
should hve a bright future.
Thanks
Jerry Kiefer
