WDCR-AM 1340

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Just because "West Lebanon"  doesn't exsist as an independent place to be
served, doesn't mean someone can't try.

Applications for new AM stations in "West Simsbury, CT" and "June Park, FL"
come to mine.

The later being nothing more then a mobile home park of a few hundred people
in West Melbourne, FL (which IS a town!)

1490 WUVR is far enough away frequency wise where a diplex would work. The
reccomended distance is usually at least 180Khz, but I've seen it as close
as 80Khz in one case at the very upper right end of the dial in Orlando,
Florida.. and it was a disaster.

Comparing WUVR's coverage on 1490 with 640W, WDCR with 1KW would cover
Hanover just fine by day, but it would be questionable at night, depending
on a number of factors including incoming interference, efficeny of the new
tower, etc
