WHYL (960 AM) is an oldies music formatted radio station licensed to serve Carlisle, Pennsylvania, consisting of a 2 tower array broadcasting on 960 kHz. This site was lost and the station now operates from the site of WCAT-FM with a omnidirectional_antenna at reduced power. See FCC letter cited in Signal coverage and power levels below. WHYL was referred to as "while in Carlisle'. The call letters are the initials of Richard F. Lewis, Jr.'s wife, one of the station's former owners. The call sign was shared with an FM sister station, WHYL-FM, broadcasting on 102.3 MHz from an antenna on the south tower, later moving to Sterret's Gap. On April 26, 2002 the call sign was changed to WRKZ-FM (the call sign was changed again on February 17, 2004 and is currently WCAT-FM).〔(Call Sign History )〕 WHYL is an affiliate of Citadel Media. As of January 1st 2014 the station was off the air and no carrier signal was being broadcast. The station had filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Longtime morning host Ben Barber left the station in late 2013, at which time other programs, including the John Tesh syndicated midday show, were also discontinued. The station broadcasts were fully automated after this, and there were some periods during which a carrier signal was broadcast without any programming. In June of 2014, Harold Z. Swidler purchased the station, and will return it to the air as soon as possible. ==Signal coverage and power levels== The directional array that was used forms a dual lobe pattern extending East-West from around Morgantown to around Everett(). The current antenna is a single element located on the tower with WCAT-FM Red 102.3. It is a temporary antenna and the station is operating on an FCC Special Temporary Authorization requested December 19,2014 and granted March 10, 2015. This allows operation at the station's daytime nondirectional (omnidirectional_antenna) power of 1.3 kilowatts and a nighttime power of 22 watts - the request was for 27 watts and reduced by the FCC to 22. (FCC Letter of 3/10/2015 authorizing return to operation ) The WCAT-FM tower is located at 40° 17' 23.00" N Latitude 77° 08' 10.00" W Longitude (NAD 27). As a Class D station, WHYL is required to lower its power at sunset and even lower during the nighttime because of skywave interference to co-channel stations. Between sunrise and sunset (), the station is permitted to operate at its full 5,000 watt power level. This was retuced to 1.3 kw by the STA mentioned above. During months where sunrise happens later than 6:00am local time, pre-sunrise authorization allows the station the raise its power to 500 Watts beginning at 6:00am. Post-sunset authorization allows the station to broadcast beyond sunset at a reduced power level in steps starting around 100 watts and ending up at night time power of 22.3 watts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WHYL」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
