It doesnt matter where the towers are, as long as the studio is 25 miles or less from the city of license.. and that is usually measured from the edge of one city to the edge of the other, not city center to city center.. as far as I know.
Plus, if the City the radio station is in is served by a major, full power tv station, the studio can be up to 65 miles away. I suspect WAMG was on day power and pattern.. I can't think of a reason they would be non directional. Paul On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 1:33 PM, Marc DeLorenzo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Interesting reception, David.
