Re: [IRCA] ULTRALIGHT LOGGINGS...2 New Ones Today...+ A Royal Mess on 1540 Khz...HELP!!!

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

Wel, here is WADK's webnsite, http://www.wadk.com/  masybe the AM plasying
some filler music or tunes from the FM back when it was a EZ Listening/Jazz
type of station.

WADK Newport is hard to confused with something else you might've heard,
call letter wise.

WADK was granted 5KW night power, but as far as I know, they've never built
it out. In fact, WADK's parent company has a Construction Permit for new Am
they've yet to build.
