WAOK Atlanta, GA verified my report from our January trip. Station engineer, Robert LaFore, called my report 'amazing', partly because he can't hear it where he lives, 25 miles to the north of the station. Actually, I've had quite a few comments like this from stations: because of the directional nature of their signals, locals often can't hear their own station if they are on the back of the beam. Atlanta is just over 8100 miles from here (13000 km) so the 4.2 kW transmitter is doing a great job! Before the station cue you can hear a call from Miss Virginia as well as the station studio number. The station sent me two WAOK t-shirts in a neat little drawstring bag, along with a notebook and clip.
