Hey John, ya never know about folks not hearing them. Many FM DX'ers have heard translator's, less than 10 watts, via Es (e-skip, if you prefer). It COULD happen. :) In fact at least a couple of DX'ers have heard automobile "iPod" transmitters and the signal sounded definitely Es-ish. Those are *supposed* to be less than 1 watt.
Wonder if WPEB can upgrade? Here is a 30w FM transmitter for less than $300 :) Paul, is it legal (if they had a permit to run 30 watts)? In the past, they had a model that did RDS, too. http://cgi.ebay.com/30W-PLL-STEREO-FM-Broadcast-Transmitter-LCD-Display_ W0QQitemZ370053424627QQihZ024QQcategoryZ296QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZ ViewItem 73, Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 15:37:52 -0400 From: "John Cereghin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [IRCA] Quite possibly the smallest licensed radio station...

They have been off the air for quite a while, and appear to have returned to the air only recently. Not that it matters, as no one can hear them, no doubt!
