Quote:Well, with all this investment going on with the station becoming the flagship, I am sure they know about the issues you and others cite about listening range. Maybe there is something in the works to improve it. 

Dawg, that would be nice but it already has happened.

 

1010XL was a toaster (low power local) in Jacksonville Beach and they petitioned the FCC to increase power 50KW, like WOKV.

The problem is that WJXL is a frequency assigned to Jacksonville Beach, FL, they were not meant to cover the JAX Metro area and they cannot interfere with other stations on or near 1010kHz.

They have a very restricted signal by there antenna pattern to protect stations to the north, west and south.

So come nighttime, they have to reduce power and even further restrict their signal pattern.

Thats is why on game day they are supplimented by 99.9 WGNE-FM, as an original FM frequency assigned to Jacksonville market they cover Duval, Nassau, Baker, Clay, St. Johns counties.

1010XL-FM is in the same restricted boat as 1010XL-AM. A Jacksonville Beach station.

 

Basically they brought a can opener to a knife fight and have to rely on their big brother's katanna.
