their patience, he also adds that the new FM signal cence that when the cottagen was being built, a local wag posted a sign near the construction site that read “DUNCAN’S FORT.” in West Bath and surrounding areas will be much clearer than before. And unlike many AM stations for which the FCC mandates a power reduction at sunset daily (including our WJTO-730), the FM sta- tion is loud and clear 24/7. Bob says: “Being able to hear the station at night is very important, be- cause the softer nature of WJTO and even classical music stations are needed by folks who just want relaxation in the evening & nighttime hours. Such soothing music is hard to find on the radio dials.”

The reason that WJTO now has an FM presence is that the Federal Communications Commission did something that Bob says they never did be- fore, and likely will never do again. They essen- tially let every AM station have an FM station to “simulcast” the AM signal.
