What's up with 1360
- Thread starter Gunsmoke
- Start date
I know when Mike Vendetti, rest his soul, put this thing together long ago he told me the FCC approved the close proximity to the Philly metro just as long as no signal made it into Philly. That is why the original CP had all four, the two tall and two short towers at 5kw to push the signal SE away from Philly, and the two tall towers at night same direction but less coverage, I believe between 500w and 1kw serving the original WWBZ coverage area in Vineland. Since they signed on with all the weird stuff going on there, they just went 1kw omni using the one strobe tower, from the last person I talked to, why does the FCC come down hard on certain signals but ignores others in violation
The FCC authorized the 1360 facility because it provided the required protection to other stations on 1360 as well as adjacent and next adjacent channels in the vicinity.
The FCC does not tell stations "You can't put a signal there". It says, "You have to respect the signals of existing stations to the extent of their protected contours."
This station seems to afford daytime protection ti 1340 in Philadelphia, 1380 in Wilmington, and likely Pottstown too.
At night they protect stations like Binghampton, Hartford, Cincinnati, and others.
No, the signal is reduced towards other stations, day and night. AM stations do not protect cities or areas; they protect priority stations from prohibited interference.

The station is not omnidirectional. It is DA-2, with separate patterns day and night.

They are not omnidirectional day or night. They have two separate directional patterns and separate power levels.

If there was a stock sale to new shareholders, there was in fact new ownership, but there is no requirement to change the company name... and for a relatively inferior facility, the cost may have been considered unnecessary.
A pattern is a calculation of where the edge a signal of a particular strength will be found. Different radios will be able to hear a station farther away or, even, not as far.
I used to get KIKI, a 250 watt station in Honolulu, in Cleveland, Ohio. That was because I had a good radio and conditions were favorable, not because KIKI had decided to run 100,000 watts.
