1290 WIRL Technical Information

WIRL broadcasts in AM Stereo with 5000 watts of power
from our 4 tower antenna array located on the east edge
of Marquette Heights.

In the daytime, WIRL's antenna pattern and signal coverage
areas is primarily a circle slightly shifted to the south of Peoria.

At night however, WIRL's signal is significantly reduced to the east
and west and forms what resembles a figure 8 pattern up and
down the Illinois River.
