The Blaze's new CP.. this doesn't make cents.. but..

103.1 The Blaze has applied to put their tower (and a decline in height) to what looks like not too far from the Seabreeze's tower, Right now, I'm hearing preaching on 103.1 (Birmingham, AL)

Hopefully, this will fix their signal here. They should apply for a 10,000 watt boost so they can clearly cover Crestview but, here it is:

Not sure why they don't put their tower on Hollywood but, they did promise to fix and when the stick is up, we shal see..

the 102.5 tower is about 400 yds from the Seabreeze tower.....perhaps they are going to combine 103.1 on that tower with 102.5....but that's only 600 khz. That's a little too close for most combiners....most combiners like 800 khz spacing minimum. A 600 khz spaced combiner is going to be expensive.

Just my humble opinion.

Well, this is strange, I'm hearing 94.1-2 WILD which is rebroadcasting WFAN... (and my radio doesn't have the option to shut off the digital iboc so it's overriding the Pensacola signal)

Will they get to add any strobeyz, Rob/aka/CCENG? I like those lites on those two towers. They sort of look like they are dancing together. One is on when the other is off. Then they both are off and then almost on together, but not exactly on at the same second. Then wham! Two exactly off and the bam, two exactly on and them backwards. Mark Carter might still cut the grass around his stick. I hope they do a better job on the new owners tower and keep it looking nice and painted and like Mark. They have lots of rattle snakes near those towers. Be careful, especially if you are a nosey CC Engineer looking for tropo.

We will find out when they switch, anyway, off topic but:
here's a clip I found on youtube - tower climbing!

Rob - how's the tropo these days? Can we come down to Navarre/PCB and cool off with you and that engineer fellow? 109 in the Music City yesterday. Minimal humidity. Hottest day in Nashville since they started keeping records back in the decade CCENG was born. Wishing for the 'cool' breezes of the World's most beautiful white sand beaches. Still not as hot feeling as NYC a few summers ago. Hope all is well in strobey land.

Just moving 103.1 south a little to hang out on it's sister station WWAV 102.1's tower.  This makes sense and cents.  What's so confusing about it?  I don't know why Qantum didn't do this years ago.

Listening to 93.3 FLZ (IBOC, killing WNCV) right now as we speak.

I can't believe they dumped the 80s!!

It's good picking up the norm.. right now, 94.3 is an oldies station while Hale's micro power station is probably airing dead air. Now listening to Leo Laporte on WFLF; Damn, we need a WFLA affiliate (perhaps on 107.3??) here, guess we are not florida enough to have one..glad we can hear WFLF now!

Did you ever ID the oldies on 94.3?

It's a good frequency for me to check even though I'm closer to 94.1's stick than you are.  More often than not, WTIX from New Orleans is there under the slop.  They do a good oldies format.

Your right! I thought it was q92 then I looked down and saw I was still on 93.3! Right now they are in the mix and sound pretty good.
