[IRCA] WOOW-1340 - Greenville, NC.

[Mike Hardester <DX4EVR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With apologies to Mark Twain,  I fear that the reports of the recent demise 
of Radio Station WOOW in Greenville are premature. :-(

1340    WOOW    NC      Greenville      5/27 @ 1440 ELT

Station noted with talk, gospel music and male announcer. ID as "You're 
listening to Joy 13-40, WOOW, Greenville." Also, slogan as, "The People's 
Station." :-)

I was probably within 20 to 25 miles (open road) of the tower location 
(35.616111 N, 77.370556 E, per FCC listing) before the station was clearly 
audible. Presumed station in Wilmington (spots for Wilmington area 
businesses) was dominant until as noted above.

Even for 1 kw, I would have expected a wider coverage area, perhaps 
decreased power for some reason.

Remember, you heard it here first.

         Very 73 de Mike
