Can't Wait To See 99.5 In Fairmont's Ratings!

Post by Scott Reppert »

Does 99.5 in Faimront count as a FEMA PEP station? If it is a PEP station, where is broadcasting from and do they have the 30 day backup power and other emergency essentials in place? Comes in good at my house, Conrad says it's strong out near the Middletown Mall/WPDX studios area...

Isn't this the station out of a church near Idamay? I have seen a hand painted white/black sign for it. I didn't think it even went to downtown Fairmont. I heard it near Farmington, and it sounded fairly much all satellite programming with a brief 15 second or so ID at the TOH. It almost sounded like it was sent through a phone line.

No that's 99.9. This is the FEMA station that just came on within the last two weeks. Nice signal, fairly good audio. All they need is a better hookup to the NWS feed they air. Driving around last night I listened to it off and on and figure it MIGHT be broadcasting from somewhere up around Wave-Tek pool, or maybe from the Health Department building (since a lot of what they air besides the weather is health related). Call letters are WYTR, I believe...

Or Mass Media confusion--here it is WYRT-LP, licensed to "Marion County" at the end of
Shaffer Lane. Grand total of 47 watts.

And what is at the end of Shaffer Lane? A conveniently in place, unused former AT&T relay tower. Hmmm....
