Re: [IRCA] new station on 1100, WZFN



WFZN has been on the air, on and off since the WZFN callsign was assigned in
March 2006, for testing purposes and what not.

Critical Hours are from Sunrise to 2 hours later and from 2 hours before
sunset to actual sunset.

I don't know why they were issued a W call, but ah well, it just happened no
big deal.

The current owners filed to sell it to the GM of WDAY 970, Scott Hennen..
but the engineering firm that owns it until the sale closes are pretty
decent engineers, so I assume everything is on the up and up.
