The WIXI site, 0.35 miles away, has a white building [1] [2] [3]. One-third of a mile distance in a forested area is a reasonable distance to not see the WIXI tower from the ground.
I'm pretty sure the YouTube video is at the correct location. It's clearly not at WIXI.
[1] WIXI: https://maps.app.goo.gl/CM1MwZBCDnCQgtUH7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/CM1MwZBCDnCQgtUH7
[2] WIXI zoomable map: https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=WIXI https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=WIXI
[3] WJLX zoomable map: https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=wjlx https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=wjlx
Edit to add: I went through every AM station listed at https://fccdata.org/?lang=en&latd=33.8549&lond=87.2707 https://fccdata.org/?lang=en&latd=33.8549&lond=87.2707 and there are no other AM stations in that region.
- lisper 3y ago> It's clearly not at WIXI. Well, yeah, that is not in dispute. The question is: how do we know they were at the WJLX site and not just some random abandoned building in the middle of nowhere?
- RF_Enthusiast 3y agoThat's a fair and reasonable question to ask. Here is video of an unrelated party filming the WJLX transmission site 11 years ago: https://youtu.be/l1Srg9WEPzw?si=CVBcR3MrZ4BiaZgc https://youtu.be/l1Srg9WEPzw?si=CVBcR3MrZ4BiaZgc The video from 11 years ago matches the site in the new video.
- orbital-decay 3y agoIt also shows that there was no AM broadcast 11 years ago either. (I wonder if that person filed a FCC complaint back then...)
