they are doing an awesome kickass AAA format! lots of hippie music, especially on Saturdays when WEBN refugee Mary Peale draws from her private collection! it's like the old pre-top 40 WAMX when John Davidson and Bobby Leach were doing their things every night!

Oh sorry...i forgot this was a FCC Digest thread. That is all.

Since Moorefield is my mother's hometown and even though I haven't been there in at least 15 years, what is going on with these TV channels?

I'm just curious. I remember visiting relatives in Moorefield and Petersburg in the 60's and the only TV available was snowy reception of a station in Harrisonburg VA.

It looks like someone put up a bunch of low power translators to rebroadcast five different TV stations into the Moorefield area on five different UHF translator channels. This arrangement is quiet common in western states (Colorado, Montana, Idaho, et al) where you are quite a distance from the TV transmitters and the area is too sparsely populated to make CATV service a viable option. In several locations, county government actually provides a TV translator service for local residents, although I would have thought DirecTV and Dish Network would have made a huge dent in the need for such an arrangement.

Conversion of analog translators to digital.
Aircheck? You'd make a great board op.
