I don't remember their call sign, but they referred to their operation as "Inspirational Radio". They transmitted from one of the ridges of the Watchung mountain range, thus putting them well above nearby Newark and most of Manhattan. Car radios within several miles of the station would receive their broadcast, regardless of tuner setting. Several times a year, this same effect would occur even with fixed (home) radios at ranges of over 15 miles. This station operated on the FM band. We thought that their relative height and broadcast power were responsible for their intrusiion on neighboring allocations. Is it possible that radio stations operated by the chosen only operate legally when the FCC is around? -Jim.
