WVEI-FM debut Oct 26?

[Peter Murray]

No need to guess at the pattern or power, it's in the FCC's CDBS. The FM 
Query from the Audio Division site provides more visual detail, though:

The new facility is operating with a 2-bay Shively 6810, with 706W ERP
from 280m HAAT (12m above ground level). That height and power combo is
not too far off from a typical full-facility class A FM station. It has a
great deal more height than WLZX-FM, but proportionally less power (and
slightly directional pattern). The polar plot will show the detail of that
signal pattern, which has a null to the ESE (to protect second-adjacent 
WNEK).
