A Video That Would Bring Tears To An Engineer
« on: August 05, 2010, 01:27:55 PM »
Wow: take a look at what happened to WWVA-AM 1170's towers outside Wheeling, WV;  I do believe they were on a past issue of Scott Fybush's Tower Calendar:

*OUCH!* Those towers probably broadcast some of this country's most historical events (JFK, RFK, WW2) as well as some of the most memorable preachers around (Kathryn Kuhlman, Billy Graham and more). .  That is sad to see it all gone in a flash.  I hope that are able to duplicate their original pattern.  That was one killer of a signal!, especially here in the northeast.  Hope for their return soon.

What other stations are on 1170?  Night time.

One wonders if the Clear Channel-owned station will once again return to its original "clear channel" form...

I tried listening to 1170 around midnight, but heard nothing on that frequency at all, but I did pick up a lot of HD hash from WHAM 1180.  Then, I noticed that for a Class 1A just a few hundred miles away, WHAM seemed to be subject to interference from some other station.  What other operation on 1180 could be troubling WHAM so much?  Is it in the USA, Canada, Cuber, Central America, Mexico?

KFAQ/Tulsa, which for decades was otherwise known under their original calls, KVOO-AM.
