Re: What Donna said
And don't forget the 50 kW DA-D station in MD about 20
miles south of DC. If I recall, that station is close
enough to Chesapeake Bay that there is a good salt water
path most of the way to Norfolk. When the MD station
first went on the air 15 or 20 years ago (it was 10 kW
DA-D then), it had the calls WBZE. Supposedly, those
calls were picked so that the daytime local signal plus
the dynamite nighttime signal from WBZ would give the
casual listener the impression that all the programming
was coming from one station (!)
