My location in central Alabama is a bit closer to the Bahamas than where Willis lives in Old Fort, TN. It seems to lie inside a "dead zone" in terms of propagation. Three years of on and off trying for this station have only increased my frustration.
All that ended last night with Willie's e-mails. I went downstairs and turned on the Icom 746 Pro, and immediately started hearing the slow pace of the play by play announcer during the basketball championship. During a break, I heard locals ads for bank and a clear ID for the station! Adjusting the phaser improved the signal even more---and I sat for at least another 40 minutes listening to the end of the game. Interviews with players, coaches, and more local ads. Within minutes of the end of the game, the signal disappered back into the slop of 1540 as I'm sure they switched by to night pattern. This has been on my most wanted list along with ZIZ 555khz for years! Thank you Mr. Willis!!!! 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF NRC/IRCA Broadcast Test Coordinator Please call anytime 24/7 if your transmitter will be off the air for maintenance.
