What if you made two radio stations?
1, 0*N 175*W
2. 0*N 185*E
The second station is "off the map" so to speak since it's beyond the normal limitations of the latitude/longitude system but the programming might not care about longitudes in excess of 180 degrees.

I don't think that would work. The game probably wouldn't play the station because it couldn't read the 185 setting. And if it did, you would still have have the problem of switching over to that station causing any scripted programs that played on the first station to repeat all over again on the second. I originally had my AFRS stations as 4 separate ones in different locations and having only about a 2500 nm range. But even though all used the same folder for programing, switching from one to another would cause this to happen. So in later updates I gave a 2 or single station option.
As of this morning BtS is still down. I'm sorry to say you'll just to bear with it until they're back. Or, maybe send some polite messages or PMs to Neal asking him to let me upload them here.
