** U S A. GEORGIA: For many weeks I've noticed a strong S4 nighttime signal
here on 1130 kilohertz from WLBA with nonstop Latino music. IDs are in English
usually at half past the hour by a woman. Per the FCC database this is a class
D station licensed for NDD operation with 10 kW from Gainesville GA, supposedly
dropping to 1 kW during critical hours. Because of this station's night signal
it's no longer possible to get weak reception of WBBR or KWKH. Has anyone else
noticed this WLBA at night? If anyone knows how to contact the FCC monitoring
staff, perhaps in Atlanta, the FCC might be made aware of this signal and
requested to check mV/m levels at night on 1130 in NE Georgia (Richard Howard,

Glenn: Thanks and appreciation are offered to those individuals responsible for
bringing about an end to the illegal nighttime operation of WLBA on 1130
kilohertz. Tonight I listened to the president's Iraq speech and post-speech
commentary via WBBR New York while monitoring the frequency. At 9:30 PM EDT I
was surprised to hear about one minute of Latino music, followed by another
short period of speech in Spanish at 9:39 PM EDT, and then carrier without
audio for about another minute at 9:53 PM EDT, on the frequency and without ID
of transmitter callsign. I assumed that work and testing were underway at the
WLBA transmitter site on whatever computer control equipment for transmitter
power and signoff / signon time exists at the site. I find it difficult to
believe that station staff was unaware of this nighttime operation that
continued for so many weeks on this important national frequency (Richard
