[BC] Why an older transmitter may be a good choice

[Rob Atkinson]

and they went on the air here as WRLL real oldies 1690 and got Larry Lujack 
and Tom Edwards to do mornings and it was great--pre-Beatles rock and dj 
gags if you like that kind of thing--I happen to--but the bad dial spot and 
poor morning signal (1 kw before sunrise, 10 kw after) did them in.  They 
didn't make it in the ratings and I think now the WVON format and call 
letters have moved to it.  they had hams, with ham rigs and 160 meter 
antennas tuning them in as far away as way down in Indiana however.  that 
audience doesn't make it into the books though.

There was a lot of that in the last AM filing window.  Halfway across the
country.

And even before that, Clear Channel modified a CP for an expanded band AM on
1690...filing in 2003 to move it almost 300 miles from Johnson City, IL to
the Chicago suburb of Berwyn.
