Beats me, I use cable. The country station in Crestview is long gone.



Wasn't it on cable? There were several country stations when I was
working in Destin. I think the station was at 602 Mountain Drive, in
Destin.

The original rock & roll station in Ft Walton beach went dark while I
was there. It was the crappiest built AM station I've ever seen. they
transmitted from a cheap TV tower with pieces of copper wire run down
the legs, since it was so rusty. The single studio was full of homebrew
junk, a couple cart machines and a turntable. I was looking for a cart
machine and went to see if they had one fore sale. They claimed they
had sold all the equipment to another station for $20,000. What a joke!
