How's it sound?

The sound quality is good but not great. Station still has terrible treble hashing problems. Ocassional trouble with something in the chain causes annoying BZZZZZZZZZ! noise.

History:

Was originally a Tuscaloosa station, with transmitter on 15th Street across from Taco Casa. Came on the air in 1958 as WTBC, companion to WTBC-AM 1230. Later had a seperate identity as WUOA (University of Alabama), as an adult contemporary station. Later changed calls to WFFX (The Fox) and added a more upbeat mix of music. Shortly before moving to the Birmingham market, the station went modern rock. It was during that period the transmitter moved to a taller tower near Vance, then  to become Jamz.
