General Radio Discussion / Re: WRMI move from 6915 to 6855 due to complaints from MARS

« on: May 05, 2016, 0115 UTC »

I was the one who called WRMI the night it appeared on 6915. He was a bit surprised we found it within 30 minutes of going on air & a day before it was "official" in their web schedule.

He explained they applied for a 24/7 freq to beam toward San Diego [285 degs] & that's what they were handed by the FCC... I agree it's NTIA turf but that never stopped the FeeCee before...

6915 was hammered by UTEs & a few "protesters" [latter in the beginning]... Seems to me it's a HUGE waste when band shortens up during the day but it is what it is... 

Next stop for WRMI might be ?6770?  <-- Catch my drift?
