Although her letter does not identify Lawson, the incident was recalled by colleague Gary Richardson. Jimmy had basically said that if Compass Bank had honored Dr. King’s birthday and close down shop, they wouldn't have been robbed. Anyway, it was a letter critiquing his statement.

Title A name given to the resource Maintenance Log, WJLD Transmitter Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 41: "All right, moving right along. Folder 41 is a maintenance log from the Johnston Broadcasting Company and this from January of 1986. In the FCC regs, it tells us that transmitter output power = ep x ip x efficiency factor "f" where ep equals the DC input voltage of the final radio frequency amplifier stage; and ip equals the DC input current of the final radio frequency amplifier stage. FCC regs also says calculations from these measurements can be tolerated at between 100% and 110% of authorized power output. Applying these conclusions to the ep and ip figures on the maintenance log, we multiply 2850 by .440. The product is 1254 watts. If these calculation are correct, the efficiency factor would be .797...(f = 1000/1254)... (which seems high)..which would correct erp down to 1000 watts.

SESAC has a great deal of gospel music that it broadcasts or that it holds publishing for. There’s also an article that apparently came out around WAYE around the same time, 1985. “WAYE Gets Religion. Now one of 8 Christian radio stations here,” a Birmingham News article. It mentions that on October 17, 1985, AM 1220's call letters and format changed from easy listening WTWG to WAYE, so that's a helpful piece of information.
