WXBR-1460 in Brockton, MA has been shut off by the new owners. It will
be
off for about a month. The transmitter will be replaced by then.
Now that we know WXBR is back on and testing (Thanks for word, Craig),
I would presume from info below that this is simply an existing station
returning to the air - and not in any way a new station for the logbook
if and when I might DX it. Correct assumption on my part?
Yes. Existing station, but new owners. Same call sign and transmitter
location. It is a new transmitter apparently, but essentially much the
same. Format will change as the previous owner also owned the satellite
programming they used. Obviously took more than a month, but I quit as
contract engineer quite a while ago due to problems with them.
It is on occasionally as a test. It has not been on night pattern, even
after sunset. 5kw non-directional.
One thing to see is that there are big spurs. Roughly -12db from the
carrier and about 8.3kHz either side of 1460. Shows very plain on my SDR.
I have a picture of it:
