WGTX (102.3 FM), known as "Dunes 102 FM", is a radio station licensed to Truro, Massachusetts. The station is owned by Dunes 102 FM, LLC.
Shortly after the station was licensed (as WTUR in 1988 and later WCDJ in 1992), the original owners, Truro Wireless, Inc., ran into opposition from the Truro local government, who objected to a radio tower being built within the town limits. Until such a tower was built, the station could not air a regular broadcast schedule. In lieu of a tower, WTUR/WCDJ would occasionally broadcast just long enough, via a small transmitter, at 340 Watts, to keep their FCC license intact.
On March 29, 2007, the FCC granted a transfer of the license of the former WCDJ to Dunes 102FM LLC.[1]. The new owners got the call letters changed, and now, as WGTX, they have recently begun broadcast service as "Dunes 102: Cape Cod's Oldies Radio". The format is an upbeat presentation of oldies from the '60s '70s and early '80s, with a target demographic of 25-54. The station is programmed from the "Classic Hits" syndicated network feed.
The new owners will continue to upgrade the facility along the way and expect to provide full service to the upper and lower Cape from a 180ft tower on the Town of Truro's Safety Building site on Route 6. Their construction permit currently allows them to raise their power to 3000 Watts
Dunes 102 has a website online which opens up a SHOUTcast stream of the station, but has little other information.
