Mix 103.1 Fort Walton Beach

[Rob-42]

I've been noticing that mix 103.1 has been down several times this weekend. Anyone in here know why?

This isn't the first time i've seen that station down for the count.

We've made improvements to the site over the last few months, including replacing the transmitter. This weekend, the air conditioning blew. Also the main breaker. I'm not entirely sure in which order. The air conditioning is fine now and we're on the air. Unfortunately, we'll be off for a short time tomorrow when we install the breaker. It's being overnighted.

You guys should apply for a 100KW license. Your station sure has "staying power" and a 100KW transmitter license would only serve this area better because down here, your signal is crap especially when tropo is up.

Since I've been here (in 2000) I've noticed that several stations have changed formats from 92.1 to 107.3 from 102.1. I've noticed that only 96.5 and yours have had shown true "staying power"

and this is part of the reason:

why your transmitter is there is beyond me. are you trying to cover the beaches and that's it?

Rob....You don't know the background of 103.1. The frequency is licensed to DeFuniak Springs and the transmitter site was determined by the requirement that the station put a 3.16 mv signal over the city of license. You also have to factor in the fact that Eglin AFB has a major influence on where a tower can be and how tall it can be in most of Okaloosa and Walton Counties... A station can't simply "apply for 100kw"....criteria must be met to insure there is no interference to co, 1st adjacent and 2nd adjacent channels on each side of the main frequency.

Are they owned by the same group as 98.1 or different group?

Hey Rob -- we at WSBZ The Seabreeze 106.3 have not been guilty of any "format hopping".  We've been smooth jazz here since 1994.  Along with Jimmy at WAAZ in Crestview --- I think that deserves some credit in the market:)  Don't forget the remaining "independents" left.

Thank you Mark and Jimmy!!! Seabreeze is a great oasis, against the grain, for all these years. Glad you are well my friend. Gotta get back to the beach. Been too long. YEAH!

I do listen to you guys but your signal is crappy here and I'm a radio person. What's the deal with AAZ? I thought they were going to be at a new studio by now? Are they still in the process of the upgrades?

I still don't understand why your stick is way out in sandestin, if I lived out there, I'd be listening to XM or Pandora or CD's
