Thanks to Tim Noonan for posting this on his excellent web site "Radio/DX
Information from Wisconsin
www.angelfire.com/wi/dxing/index.html

"* WI Racine WBJX 1460 is silent as a result of vandals knocking down its
tower. The station hopes to be back on from a temporary facility by the end of
this week (Tim Cuprisin/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)"

Here is the news story from Tim Cuprisin's 8/26/03 column:

WBJX GOES SILENT
Racine's WBJX-AM (1460), southeast Wisconsin's only 24-hour Spanish-language
radio outlet,


It's possible that THIS is the reason. Lots of people (myself
included) are getting sick and tired of the endless march of Spanish
towards official language status in the US. Of course, I would never
support vandalism like this. The solution lies in English only laws
and immigration reform.
