103.9 has filed a CP too. Jan 2024. They are taking another stab at it, after years of interference complaints. This one used to be omnidirecitonal and now is directional away from WAWY (EMF). Location has changed slightly, height and power have increased. Should be interesting because EMF has deep pockets to drill them down in court and bleed them dry.

96.7 has also filed a CP. Same location, AON building, sharp directional to the NW nulled to the SE, now it is directional to the NW and SE with sharp null away from 96.7 WSSR Joliet. 9 watt increase in power. I have not heard this one around Park ridge for ages. I have not heard it in the city either, I think this one has been ghost for a while now.

I guess when this signs on and messes with my reception of WXRD Crown Point again, I’ll be filing another interference complaint. This will once again overlap a significant portion of the very listenable area.
