Steve is right, folks, I forgot that the locator maps on AWS's site are not
necessarily geographically accurate but are dependent on which TV station
owns which stations. I was looking at a US and Ne NC map, and neither
showed the Oregon Inlet station, but the one for Se VA (ch10) did. My bad!
I missed the records now as they erase at midnight. I wrote AWS today to
ask if we could take a look at the archived records if there are any.
