Re: [IRCA] 1450 KBPS Portland OR

Hi Scott,
Hey, I'll buy you lunch either way! If the PSU students are using KBPS, then 
yes, they would have to ID as them.   I was trying to figure out how they 
could tie things together.  So how doe's the carrier current station fit 
into this?  The reason I  figured the PSU students would use the KBPS studio 
only is because I thought the carrier current transmission was all they 
needed.... (why have both as you say)  But since there is no carrier current 
as radio-locator mentions, then it makes more sense.  Thanks a bunch for 
setting me straight.  Anyways, happy to catch KBPS.  Only a few more to 
complete Oregon.
Shall we order lunch now? hi.
73- Doug
