Re: [IRCA] WPWT-870 Colonial Heights TN

["Rene Tetro" <rtetro@xxxxxxxxx>]

WPWT and WHGG are diplexed on the same tower in Gray, TN.  They
have always had problems with the diplexing system because of the
closeness of the frequencies, and the shortness of the tower.  Not
only is the tower very short for both frequencies, it also uses -
get this - a three element ham radio HF beam (looks like a
Cushcraft) as a top hat. 

Both stations are using Harris DX10 transmitters with Kahn Power
Side.  At least they were a few of years ago when I was working at
Bristol Broadcasting (WXBQ/WEAZ/WTZR/WFHG(AM-FM).  A close friend
of mine was doing some contract work for WPWT/WHGG at the time and
had some real horror stories of their site.

WPWT 870 is owned by the same folks who have WHGG 1090 that was on
air at
night, at full power a few years ago.
