[BC] NOT WZRC

You wrote that WJDM is diplexed with WZRC. No way! WNSW 1430 sounds right.
WZRC 1480's four-tower in-line array is the farthest-north Meadowlands site.
Even with the great soil conductivity in the Meadowlands, there is no way
that 1530's puny signal could deliver 5 mV/m to Elizabeth from that
distance. The station with which WJDM is diplexed must be WNSW, which does
indeed have a pair of skirt-fed towers in a parking lot in Union. Also, 1480
to 1530 is not enough frequency separation for a diplex. 1430 to 1530 (a
spacing of 6.536% of 1530) is not exactly adequate, but it is more workable,
especially because one station (1530) operates at rather low power.
