THE RIMSHOT TO END ALL RIMSHOTS
« on: July 17, 2011, 12:41:05 AM »

I'm speaking of course of WVFJ 93-3 in Atlanta.  I was able to pull this station in at Ft Benning, and when I was in Auburn.  The signal must be somewhat weak in Atlanta.  How many dBu in Midtown does WVFJ get?

Theoretically 56dBu, which falls short of the 60dBu necessary for a Class C1 station like WVFJ to be protected from interference.  (but enough for the lower-powered Class B stations in the Northeast to be protected)

Now, that's determined by the FCC's propagation curves, which don't take terrain into account.

This station is really a waste and a mess. IMO.  I remember back in the late 70's when it was WFDR, it was a great station that could be picked up all over Atlanta.
