[BC] Directional Antenna Proofs

[James B. Potter]

Cowboy: (and why do you use that name? Are you a cow puncher?)

Well son-of-a-gun!  Interesting stuff about the old 'FIL towers, and the
out-of-line of the piers.  Guess they did it without a transtit site.  I
have no experience diplexing two AMs.  Custom plumbing and all? What do you
use for a dummy load for the reject power?  The day and night patterns look
nice and confined toward downtown Philly, I assume.  I lived in Glenside
when I was a kid and Radio '99 WIBBAGE (as it was called then) got out
pretty well to the northwest of the array.  

So what you're saying is you now have a common transmitter - antenna plant
with what was WIBG - WZZD and WFIL!  As I recall, one of those stations
claimed one tower of the other station on its FCC license as a parasitic
element of its array!  AS I recall, WIBG was on Ridge Pike in Conshohocken.
They had an RCA AmpliPhuzz 50KW at the time.   

BTW: If you weren't around at the time (year Elvis died), when WZZD started
they featured 40 hours of the History of Rock-n-Roll on-air. It was
fantastic, and I'd like to find out what source that was.  If you have any
idea, please let me know.  

Any info about Bob Hoy of WWDB down the road from City & Monument aves?  How
about Irv Ross -- still walking the earth?
