WHYL (960 AM and 102.9 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to serve Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by WHYL, Inc., and broadcasts an oldies music format. Originally broadcasting in AM only, in mid-2016, the station began simulcasting in FM stereo via a translator that is licensed to Carlisle and located a few miles northeast of Carlisle. This FM signal can be received in Harrisburg and also as far south as parts of York, PA.
The current AM antenna is a single element located on the tower with WCAT-FM "Red 102.3". It is a temporary antenna. The station is operating on an FCC Special Temporary Authorization (STA) requested on December 19, 2014 and granted on March 10, 2015. The STA was extended on April 13, 2016, and will expire on October 13, 2016. This allows operation at the station's daytime nondirectional (omnidirectional antenna) power of 1.3 kilowatts and a nighttime power of 22 watts - the request was for 27 watts and reduced by the FCC to 22.
As a Class D station, WHYL is required to lower its power at sunset and even lower during the nighttime because of skywave interference to co-channel stations. Between sunrise and sunset, the station is permitted to operate at full power. This was reduced to 1.3 kw by the STA mentioned above. During months where sunrise happens later than 6:00AM local time, pre-sunrise authorization allows the station the raise its power to 500 watts beginning at 6:00AM. Post-sunset authorization allows the station to broadcast beyond sunset at a reduced power level in steps starting around 100 watts and ending up at night time power of 22.3 watts.
The station's was first license was granted on February 25, 1949, according to the FCC.
