I was by the Maple Road xmitter site yesterday a little before 6pm. WPON was off the air. WCXI is definitely broadcasting from this location. At 5:57 the station went off the air for a few seconds, I'm guessing switch over to night time. At 6:07 was the legal ID barely heard under the beginning of a song.
Signal was poor in Milford with the power lines making it unlistenable at times. Signal improved as I was heading south on Milford road and was coming in good under the I-96 overpass. Heading toward South Lyon on Pontiac Trail, the signal was fading out as I went through town. By the time I got to 7 Mile the station was gone.
The radio was a Subaru stereo and the AM band is a poor receiver. If WCXI was broadcasting from the Fenton site, I would not have been able to receive it.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through March 30 at 9:00a ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

WPON testing again ?
Re: WPON testing again ?
Just tuend in 1160 and found a BIG signal On my 60 M dipole it was s9 + a hair and on the big 160 M antenna it was 20 dB ovr S9 ! HAS to be the new site off Childs Lake Rd ! Interesting that WPON is dead on 1460 at this time. I guess it takes months to tune up the combiner network for the two transmitters !!! .
Re: WPON testing again ?
The patterns I have seen for the 1160 two tower, Fenton array, was pretty much a standard cartioid aimed due East !
Once I drove my car right up to one tower, not much security then
Re: WPON testing again ?
Just checked my RL, circa 30 miles East of the site. WHKW 1220 and WMPC 1230 were slightly stronger than WCXI 1160.
Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

Re: WPON testing again ?
Just checked the kiwi at Denton Hill in Fenton... no sign of life from either station there.
I confirm all my information through a high, white whore's souse!
