WBXY heard on 93.3 today

[ThatGuyOnTheRadio]

Mark, I'm not sure if it's an intermod problem or not.

This is the first time I've ever heard WBXY on 93.3

93.3 is still playing WBXY making this day #3.

Here are the TX locations...

WBXY: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=29.73944,+-82.38583+(WBXY-FM)&om=1

w227AV 93.3: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=29.62944,+-82.57361+(W227AV-FM)&om=1

Definitely not intermod.

Definitely not intermod. 

If it "definately" isn't an intermod situation, please share what information you may have regarding what it may be? Is the translator actually re-broadcasting WBXY?

[ThatGuyOnTheRadio]

Best I can tell it is-- volume is a little lower than WBXY, but still a processed signal. 93.3 is broadcasting in stereo where as WBXY does not.

All normal station ID's are running yet, no mention of the 93.3 translator. I will try to catch the TOH

woops... hit the wrong key.

I will try to get the TOH LID at 3 and see if I hear it then.

Last few legal's I've caught they have not.

 A man named William Johnson claims to have gained use of the Newberry translator.   He has been trying to figure out how to rebroadcast an Urban format from a Lake City LPFM for years.  At one point he was trying to lease subcarriers on local station with the intent of translating them to the main channel of the translator, except that is illegal.   Most recently, he's been trying to lease unused HD channels to put on translator, which is legal.  To date, I don't know if any of his efforts have suceeded.   How WBXY might figure into the mix, I don't know, but my guess is that it's a temporary situation until something else happens.

Last week 93.3 had been relaying Air1, which according to FCC and radio-locator they are licensed to do. Perhaps this William Johnson guy just turned a radio on to 99.5 and fed it into the TX?

Could be, but what does he gain from that?

[ncfradio]

It is temporary.  Don't have any other details.

[ThatGuyOnTheRadio]

@ Kyle, my point exactly. Have no idea why they would use it to relay WBXY.

NCFRadio, I'm anxious to hear more details.

Hopefully you'll get more soon!
