Famous maritime station may be back on the air

Per reports in the UDXF, it appears someone has reactivated old station WLO Mobile Alabama on 8788.0 USB with weather and propagation test messages. One report had them around 1300 UT. TDoA shows Mobile Bay (where the old antenna site was) as the location, but after all this time, just how much of that antenna farm is still there? Reports suggest a much lower power too - not the flamethrower you could hear on a piece of string anymore. Bears watching to see if there's a schedule and whether they restart their old digital network as well]

Thanks for the tip. I logged KPH a few days ago, I mistakenly thought they left the air but glad I was wrong hi hi.
