Radio Log: The Bunker

I was twirling knobs on my FM tuner last night (something I almost do absent-mindedly) and stumbled upon something new on the dial for my mid-Missouri location: 98.9 "The Bunker." They were coming in quite strong so I began to suspect e-skip. Unfortunately, the rest of the band did nothing to support this idea. I found their website and the one mention of their location is the cryptic phrase "South County." This could mean south St Louis County. There's nothing in the FCC database for that frequency that makes any sense, so this station must have gone on air very recently. They may not be 100% ready for prime time since I was receiving only the right channel(!). It's not unheard of to get St. Louis media here, about 120 miles away; it is unusual to get such a strong signal. I'm going to have to listen for this one again tonight to see if last night was a fluke.
