I hear a repeat of Cruisin 93.7 Addison & it's pretty strong. Can't find anything
about this anywhere but that's what's there. Not totally nullable
but I can hear what I think is CFRA when aimed at their best null.
Used to get CFRA in listenable before this took over the frequency.
73's!

Have you heard the station while traveling around your area? If only heard at home, it could be a home based neighborhood low power station rebroadcasting the FM signal. But then, you probably thought of that already. |

WILL days in south central Indiana...jumble at night. As a kid, my dad would take me out to Winton Woods park in Cincinnati so I could DX. Noise level there was non-existent. WILL was there on that 1960 Buick car radio quite clearly. I have a friend in Charleston,IL who also tells me that WILL performs better than expected for 100 watts at night.

When I started in radio in 1967, most broadcast equipment used tube technology, all recorded music was played from records on a turntable by live DJ's, there was no satellite delivery...and radio was fun.

Wow--I would've never thought that WILL would make it to Cincy during the day. |

Here in Altamonte Springs Florida it's 5000 watt 580 wdbo all day and all night. They stay at 5000 watts 24 7. They are symalcast on 96.5 fm now so that would be cool if the am got shut off so I could hear what was on 580 during the day and night. I have heard something under them at night at times but not enough to figure out what it was.

580 in Charleston daytime is a mix of WDBO and WGAC. It depends on the day, but usually WDBO wins out. The farther inland you go, the more likely you are to hear WGAC.
Nighttime, it is a jumble. WDBO has a huge signal for 5000 watts, audible out to Myrtle Beach and probably farther daytime because there's nothing on there along the coast.
When I was in Point Pleasant last spring, WHP was there daytime at over 150 miles.

It looks like the signal from WDBO benefits greatly from a saltwater path for much of the distance up your way. There's also very poor ground conductivity at Augusta, and the combination of those factors would probably account for the reception you describe. |

But then, you probably thought of that already. Icangelp, Yes, but only for a few miles. It does not make it to Burlington at all. It is low power & I suspect not far from me but not on top of me as I can still hear CFRA thru it when aimed at the 580 null. As I mentioned, they are not totally nullable but I can get them down to about 40% signal. |

When I was in the Fl Keys in Marathon nothing during the day and WDBO weak at times at night with the San Juan station underneath. When I was in the mountains of Ga over Thanksgiving I picked up WDBO briefly one night.
