The most recent US X-banders all seem to have taken to the air in 2003. KHPY-1670 Moreno Valley, CA January KTFH-1680 Seattle, WA testing beginning in March, regular sked in June WTNI-1640 Biloxi, MS April
Then *five* in the last four months of the year, as if some kind of final deadline is trying to be beaten: WSWK-1690 Adel, GA September WRLL-1690 Berwyn, IL October KMMZ-1640 Enid, OK testing beginning in November, regular sked in December WBHE-1660 Charlotte, NC December KBIV-1650 El Paso, TX December Major city changes since '03 involving getting closer to Pensacola on 1620 and Atlanta on 1690, but these are still the latest 100% new ones. Remember how the FCC said that the expanded band station would always carry the same city-of-license as the parent station? Yet we have Gulf Breeze, West Sacramento, Fox Farm, Torrance, Jersey City, Canovanas, Dry Branch, Ada, Lindenwold, Avondale Estates, Berwyn and Richardson! This of course is nothing compared to the "requirement" that one license or the other would have to be surrendered after the X-bander had been broadcasting for five years. Some did (WVMI-570 Biloxi turned in a groundwave goldmine), some didn't. It beats me.
