Station resurrected from the dead, kinda

East Point, Georgia: 1260KHz:
WYXC requests move from Cartersville, 1270KHz:

5,100 watts daytime 52 watts nighttime non-directional 33-41-47N 84-28-29W

Until 2014, station WTJH existed on 1260 in East Point. I cannot find official technical information but Wikipedia says WTJH was 5,000 watts daytime, 39 watts at night -- at the same coordinates. The WTJH license was canceled in 2014 when the FCC found it had been off the air for (well) over a year.
