Orphaned references in WYLL

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of WYLL's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 09:27, 27 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

FYI Some transmitter locations vague.

From mid 1957 through 1963, jr high and high school, I lived in the subdivision directly South East of Dempster and Greenwood. The WJJD transmitter was directly in the North West Corner where the Home Depot store and parking lot are now (Nov 2025). I'm pretty sure it was 50,000 watts daytime then. As ham radio operators, my dad and I had difficulty keeping the RF out of just about everything. I could take earphones and a lead pencil and hear the station and also a built-in radio in the kitchen couldn't receive much of any other AM station because WJJD was so strong, it came through all over the dial.

Early on, I walked to the original building once or twice and talked to the AM DJ, but don't recall his name, I think it may have been one of the better known names. I do know that Clark Weber lived up off Ballard, east of there, because I talked with him, probably on 2 or 10 meters, Ham, but I'm pretty sure that was after 1966. They also had the taped programming for the FM station there that was sent on probably leased phonelines to the Chicago FM transmitter.

When I returned there in late 1966, it was gone with stores there and I didn't know where it went.

One reference I just found (poor negative copy - https://cdbs.recnet.com/corres/?doc=61261) FCC doc (1962), shows Plough Broadcasting, WJJD located at 8707 Ballard Road near Lyman, Des Planes due north of the original (above), but that is an apartment building now, AND Lyman shows a little east of 294 on the North of Ballard, so that may have been where it first moved to.

It now shows as 42°2′31″N 87°51′58″W that is right in the SOUTH EAST corner of Ballard and 294. I see the building there and 4 antennas on Google earth that matches an image of the building I saw on another of their sites: https://www.google.com/maps/search/8707+Ballard+road+Des+Planes+IL/@42.0419853,-87.8686733,519m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTEwNC4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Sorry if my formatting isn't good. FWIW, Regards, Steve
