That was the legendary signal of WLUX, Islip. WLUX has just received FCC
approval to increase its D power from 250W to 320W. Night power remains
210W. WLUX operates ND-U. On yesterday's LTAR, Bob Bittner reported
receiving WLUX like a local on the eastern shore of the DelMarVa peninsula
in Maryland, completely overwhelming local WDMV, Pocamoke City MD, probably
almost 300 miles from the WLUX TX, which is on Long Island's south shore.
The path between the south shore and the Atlantic coast of MD is salt water
all the way.

BTW, the adult standards combo of WHLI 1100 Hempstead and WGSM 740
Huntington is now, according to M Street Journal the #1-rated signal (AM or
FM) on Long Island. Meanwhle, in San Francisco, the _long_-time AS format on
KABL 960 Oakland has been replaced by a younger-skewing music format and
several of the jocks are gone. KABL which had, in recent years, featured
retro jazz artists, such as Squirrel Nut Zippers and Big Bad Vodoo Daddy,
had been reported to be doing really well--until the bottom dropped out of
the retro-"jazz" fad.
