I don't understand the WOKB situation.  As of CDBS Feb 4th data, all 
of their operatrions and CPs are from the same site.  The licensed 
operation is 5kW with the same pattern as the new 4kW CP (days).  The 
licensed 5 kW 3-tower night.operation has a bidirectional pencil beam 
using only one of the days towers.  The 2 kW D, 35 W N operation is 
shown as a three-year-old CP in Feb 4, 2006 CDBS data.

And the pattern strongly favors the northern half of the Orlando area.

WOKB and WNTF are 20kHz apart and on opposite sides of Orlando.  That 
must be  factor.

The WFVR CP is for near Lake City, FL, and it looks as though they 
want to be a rimshot into Jacksonville - only 70 miles away on 
910kHz.......  I find it hard to believe that anyone will actually 
spend the money to upgrade WFVR.
