QSL WTAR Norfolk VA 850 AM


This one is from WTAR Norfolk VA, 7800 miles (12500 km) from Cape Point. The QSL was from very friendly Dave Morgan, who is the engineer for this station and also WNIS. Dave actually alerted me to listening out for WTAR on AM 850. In the past I'd been so used to hearing the more powerful 50 kW WEEI Boston with its sports format that I didn't think to distinguish WTAR with its sports format on the same channel. In fact, WEEI is affiliated to ESPN while WTAR is with FOX Sports. WTAR puts out 25 kW at night more or less in our direction. Subsequently, WTAR has come in here quite often.
