But that's not going to happen. All of the stations
that have "flea" powers at night are getting them
recalculated. The expectations are that these powers
will be FAR less than what they now have. 


The FCC gives them 12 watts at night. I would expect a
couple miles. 50 watts MIGHT AT BEST  give them a mile
or more 100 watts....maybe 5 miles maybe not. If the
ground system is bad, much less. Even if they ran day
power at night they'd be gone at 15 miles, but then
they'd skip a good bit.
