WHMP on FM

[Mike Fitzpatrick]

Paul,

Go to the FCC website if you don't believe me. "W245BK" is a translator
license, nothing else. 
The station uses FSK IDing. 
It is operating LEGALLY, as a Legal Transmitter doing a LEGAL ID.

End of story. 

--Mike

I dont think a translator, if it is rebroadcasting an FM station has to be
ID every hour.. only 3x a day I was told.

However, if it's an FM translator, rebroadcasting an AM station, it has to
be ID'd on the hour every hour, I think

	The legal is ID is probably being done using FSK.

	I believe the 96.9 is a translator licensed to Amherst, but with
transmitter
	in Northampton.  I notice the WHMP homepage mentions the 1400 and
1240, plus
	the 96.9 translator, but not the 1600 in Longmeadow (WHNP). I wonder
if they
	plan to do something else with the 1600.

	I was in Amherst yesterday and, while listening to WHMP in
	Northampton, heard an announcement that they were "now on FM at
	96.9."  And sure enough, they were.  They don't seem to do a legal
ID
	for the FM station, though.  I heard a legal ID for the three
	simulcasting AM stations, but the only mention of the FM station was
	the "now on FM at 96.9" which accompanied the legal ID as it does
	other station announcements.
