Confirmed! WNRP - 1620 AM from Pensacola, FL

Yesterday morning I was able to confirm the station on 1620 am was indeed WNRP News Radio out of Pensacola, FL. 

So it's a 10,000 watt station during the day and turns down to 1000 watt at night. I originally misread this thinking there was no way it could get up here.

This is the first time I've heard this station while monitoring 1620 am since September. Hopefully it's a seasonal or conditions thing.

UPDATE: Last week, WNRP was no longer heard and The Elm was coming in at the high school. Good news.

Possible Pensacola, FL Station?

I heard a station override The Elm this morning in Dormont around 8 am. They stated "92.3 and 1620." The only station I found was WNRP from Pensacola, FL. Not sure it's right but I heard a traffic report and then a traffic report on their online feed. I was driving so it was hard to 100% it. I will revisit this and figure it out another day. 

I just don't believe that Florida station could get that far out. It's a mystery for now.

The Elm - 1620 AM in Green Tree, Pa is on the air!

The Elm - 1620 AM in Green Tree, Pa is on the air playing yacht rock, early 80's, classic Art Bells, and Sunday morning polkas. The station can be heard in parts of Green Tree, Dormont, and Mt. Lebanon. Whether you live in the area or are just driving through; tune in to The Elm, 1620 AM!

1590 AM - WHPY - Validated from Last Night.

I tuned back in to 1590 at 7:50pm and the same Christian programming station was on the air.

I validated the broadcast online as WHPY out of Clayton, NC. 

I tried to pull the station in an hour earlier and heard nothing.

At 7:54pm, WHPY is coming in clear at times and then fades out. 

I can hear a baseball game bleeding through. Heard "squares a bunt." I believe I heard a ball game last night also.
