QSL report
A listener in Hunter reports about the WGXC signal: "In Albany on Saturday could not pick up your signal (local?) religious station too strong (WLJH? WPGL?).... Driving south on Sunday I tuned in around Greenville. Excellent signal which continued to just outside of Windham when you started to hash/fade slightly. Between Windham and Hunter signal was gone due to WFUV.
