Close Quarters



There are a lot of radio stations in the Kanawha Valley. None of these stations are "power houses" but 90% of these are within walking distance of my home. 

WCHS   580     5,000 watts  

WKAZ  680   10,000 watts

WBES   950    5,000 watts 

WVTS   1240  1,000 watts

WSCW  1410  5,000 watts 

WLUX   1450  1,000 watts

WSWW  1490  1,000 watts


It's hard to believe that I could log nearly 20 West Virginia stations with this many close stations next to me, but the Autumn and Winter months will be approaching soon.
