WRCR Spring Valleyheats up its new tower and transmitter in Ramapo, NY on
Monday, July 13th. Instead of broadcasting on 1300 AM with 500 watts daytime 83
watts nights, WRCRwill be heard on 1700 AM with 10,000 watts daytime 1,000
watts nights with a HDRadio signal.
Notable engineer Tom Ray, chief engineer of WOR for years andyears, was project
manager for the move.NortheastTowers installed the single 198 foot tower. Just
two feet under the limit!WRCR's signal should be hard tomiss!
The implications of this newcomer are many.With its broad HD Radio signal, WRCR
will probably wipe out reception of the pirate and TIS/HAR community on 1700
and 1710 and crush the coverage of WPTX 1690 down in Maryland.It will probably
throw snurdles on WTTM 1680 near Philadelphia, as well.
Will the HD plague ever end?
What will be heard on 1300 with WRCR gone?
WRCR serves many ethnic groups along with the community at large.You can't say
that about many stations these days.
