ZNS1 burns
Wow, that really bites! And, during hurricane season. The cost to get 1540 back on the air estimated to be $1.2 to $2 million “dollars.” Not sure what that comes to in US dollars but it will be very expensive. 810 ZNS2 will have to become the #1 MW station in the Bahamas but their coverage area is significantly smaller than 1540.

With WIOD’s upgrade (610 kHz Maima FL / Ed) over 3 years ago, 50k day & 20k night, all sent to the east, already pretty much the “de facto” go-to in hurricane season, Bahamians with decent radios will likely be tuning in.
810 is important too, of course—but with WIOD heard daytime as far as Bermuda….wellllll…!
