Found a new broadcast station in Fairfax

[Michael Chisena]

Hi all,
Quite by accident I found a new broadcast station.

What I was trying to do is see if the AM site near the Legion Hall in Fairfax was active.
The search function on the car radio stopped on 730 WTNT.
They announced their AM frequency then an FM Frequency. 

Dialed up to 102.9 and heard them again.
One web site said they are running about 30 watts.
I can hear them mobile in Herndon and Reston.
Some spots better than others.


This was weird enough for me to consult with an expert.
Gave Chip Fetrow a call and passed the information.

He was kind enough to look up the station and send me the information below.

6119 Old Arrington Ln
Fairfax Station, VA 22039-1350

It is a relatively new tower, approved in 2008.  It appears to be in
a park, next to tennis courts, and very near a swimming pool.  The
community appears to be very much upscale, so the tower must have been
built on county or state land to prevent NIMBY issues.

The tower is owned by a follow on company of my company.

This could be something interesting to see what the owner makes of it.

Be well all.
