WBOH Leaves The Air

north Carolina based FBN station WBOH on 5920 has left shortwave for good,ending potential jamming conflicts that may arise from this closing.I got a QSL card from hem recently for verifying the station.
It seems WBOH had it's problems,but was more easily heard in my area than it's sucessor station WTJC.
the website link is
http://www.fbnradio.com
In the uper right,there is only mention of WTJC,not WBOH.
I loved the music on this station very much.But they now have
competition from WRNO on 7505 khz between 01:and 03:00 UTC
Wikipedia has an entry for FBN but NOT WBOH(Unless it's the station that forced FBN to abandon this station using the same callsign!)
WWCR here in TN,has began testing 4 MHz early in the evening instead of staying on 3215 Khz.
See the schedule at http://www.wwcr.com
this has been an exciting month so far,but i lost WATE-DT 6-1 in Knoxville."No Signal" and Toll free number come upinstead of the picture and sound from thier Harris Sigma transmitter.
For more information about WATE,visit http://www.wate.com
WWV was coming in on 10000 khz at around 22:30 UT on Saturday,November 7,2009.
I hope to post pics of my reciever so you know what it looks like.Thanks for reading this entry for Monday,November 9,2009.brainy
