Maintenance, not sound is the reason. Very soon there will be a new

the new site will have 2 DX-50s.

Why get new transmitters? Aren't the existing ones still good (and one of
them is pretty modern?)

Wouldn't it be easier to just move the existing transmitters, one by one
to the new site?

Why is WOR changing transmitter sites ... again?

Why is WOR changing transmitter sites ... again?


The state is taking the site for a freeway.

The new pattern is quite different from the old one, although both are
asymmetric, three tower arrays.

WOR is being "ratcheted", even though the move is supposedly within established
limits for "walking" an array without such ratcheting.

(Another array design by the same engineer, Cynthia Jacobs, is also being
ratcheted, and under the same conditions).

WOR's nulls will be deeper, and will protect "notified" Canadian stations which
actually no longer exist.

What a pile of crap!
