Interlochen temporarily using WSRJ 105.5

Unread post by EdWalker »

Looks like 105.5 is back on the air, helping Interlochen Public Radio restore its classic music programming to much of the region while WIAA resolves their antenna issues.

Maybe WIAA's transmitter hanged itself, like their notorious short time announcer from 1967? :blink

Hey Ben - isn’t this a Steven Wright joke?

Is Interlochen paying the power bill?

88.7 is back on the air, but at very low power (850W TPO at 750' AGL: https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.ex ... _num=28887)

Site is not mentioned in the STA, but I would guess it's from in the vicinity of the Harrietta tower.

850 watts from 750' above ground level is at least enough juice to get them into Cadillac and probably Manistee, too.
88.7 has been in weak but steady in the Manistee area. It also helps that the next closest 88.7s are in Madison, WI, Benton Harbor, and Windsor.

For comparison, WGCP (which is 2.65kW from about 650' above ground at the Harrietta site) gets out very well for its power. Last week, it stopped the seek near Hart.
