What does one call an A2 emission;I'd think that a Morse code ID on an FM transmitter would be an audio tone, not CW.
What does one call an A2 emission;
AM tone modulated code?
It has always been used to ID beacons.
Yes, but that's not CW, which is on/off keying of a carrier (or an audio tone modulating an SSB transmitter).
That's why you need a receiver with a BFO (beat frequency oscillator) to receive CW clearly. Without the addition of a carrier, the dits and dashes sound like buzzing/humming.
What was heard was NOT one of their thrice-daily legal ID's; it was a promo.Why is WTSP's ID legal?
Why is WTSP's ID legal?
Its not. It should be "WTSP St. Petersburg, Tampa" because the City of License is St. Petersburg. I'm told the News Director insists Tampa come first. WTSP has been violating the law for years.
Correct, for full power stations.The City of License does not have to be the same as the transmitter location,
as long as the COL receives a certain signal level it's legal.
