[SIZE=2 The Keys’ WZFL “feeds” the translators, not the other way around. WZFL is the primary. [/QUOTE]
No, WZFL provides audio to WHYI-HD2, and the HD originates for the two translators. The translators can not "translate" for the Islamorada station as they are both significantly outside the primary and secondary contours of WZFL and can not be used for a commercial translator.
Revolution 93.5 is a “superstation” that has the possibility to cover the Keys all the way to DT West Palm Beach with no dead spots.
Most of the West Palm Beach population does not receive a usable signal. In Dade and Broward, just over 1 million people have a usable signal out of a market population of 4.6 million. The Islamorada signal does nor cover any significant piece of South Dade, either. And it only covers a small piece of the upper keys, the 60 dbu barely covers 20,000 persons.
So, the ONLY station that is 50,000 watts is Revolution Radio’s primary station, which feeds the two translators (which I think are 250w each) and 93.5 WBGF 15,000 outlet, and that is WZFL.
WZFL does not feed the two translators. It provides programming to the leased HD2 of WHYI. WHYI-HD2 feeds the translators.
One translator is 179 watts, the other is 250 watts. Both are quite directional.
