You are wrong Stever. The tollway took the land owned by WCKG, not just the land where the radials extended. No one plans or can plan on having their land taken from them. You’re way off base in confusing their radial arrangement with this land take.

It’s interesting you assert “they don’t care”, but how could you possibly know what the people at DuPage Radio care about if you don’t even know what the land situation is? I know Matt. I’ve worked with him extensively and he’s been staving off the tollway for over 2 years while battling his own serious health issues.

Oh, and the issue with not signing off was one of my guys’ mistakes. While working on the emergency setup we left the transmitter on local by mistake and the brand new Burke remote control we installed in 2019 didn’t sign him off. That must have been you who complained to the FCC. WCKG didn’t powered down by mistake for 2 nights. Next time, be a human being and just reach out with a courtesy heads up. Mistakes happen.

Incidentally, I’ve worked with few who care more. Matt was out here on site with us daily. If DuPage Radio didn’t care, they’d have accepted one of the various offers they constantly get for their FM translator, turn in the AM like Fred the billionaire did and be done with it all.

Instead he’s got WCKG up with an STA while we find some options. And when you surrender a license, no one else gets a shot, but it sure does help 1530 WLAK up north in Wisconsin.
