Thanks for the update. But stations should budget for maintenance like
this. It's a management problem. A lot of what's really going on
with an AM like this is revealed here:
WNTS-AM also broadcasts its primary channel from this additional transmitter
W280FR 103.9 FM Beech Grove, IN (99 watts)
In other words, the AM has a LPFM and nowadays, that's the signal that
matters to management. In a lot of cases like this, the AM is only on
because it justifies the license for the FM. A lot of licensees with
LPFMs simulcasting, let the AM go because they think no one listens to
it; in this case the class D FM covers most of metropolitan
Indianapolis. That's where the license value is, plus the AM DA real
estate. I'm not criticising the station engineer, but years ago,
this would have been caught a lot sooner without a ham having to
complain about it.
