Around 4:00 to 430pm this afternoon (Friday) I was doing a bit of scanning the radio dial in a Buick Sedan like vehicle while waiting for my neighbor to come out of the grocery store..
With WABV 1590 temporarily silent, I heard Spanish on 1590Khz and presume it to be WYSR High Point, NC On 1350Khz, I heard a liner, "Your Greatest Hits and Good Time Oldies Station, Z1350" which is WZGM Black Mountain/Asheville, North Carolina. After the liner, they went back into a song. WZGm was fighting it out with *DWLMA *also on 1350Khz. *DWLMA* is only 20 miles to my east and they were getting torn up! Also hear with a decent & steady but with some static with 840 WCEO in Columbia, SC that's 50KW/3 tower Daytimer. Tuning over to 1700 AM, I heard a DJ talking about a song then he said "This is WEUP" and into another song. With Very local WZLA 92.9 temporarily at 600W ERP instead of 6000W ERP I was able to hear "Oldies KSX".. 92.7 WKSX from Johnston, South Carolina about 45 miles to my Southeast. WZLA is normally licensed for 6000 Watts with a tower about 2 miles east of town, but they are using a 300W Backup into 4 bays, producing the 600W ERP. Their 3000W Main Transmitter (6KW ERP into 4 bays) is a Bext and has a major software problem. It's sitting on Bext's "bench' now awaiting repair. Paul B.
