[IRCA] The KMBQ 1430 Wasilla, Alaska Saga Continues...

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

>From Tom Taylor's Radio Info News letter:

*Wasilla, Alaska's new AM made it on the air, just before expiration of its
CP.* That's the one whose neighbors had blocked an access road to the tower
site, making it difficult for licensee John Klapperich to make his
FCC-imposed deadline. But KTUU-TV says the new 1430 hit the air last
Wednesday, and Klapperich tells the TV station it was a matter of
brute-force "Flintstone technology", with him and six other folks working on
the installation for nearly two weeks. The neighbors are worried about
wetlands and potential health problems, and vow to keep up their opposition.
Klapperich already owns a nearby FM – Anchorage-market KMBQ-FM at 99.7. The
AM, with 1-kw day and night, takes calls of KMBQ. For now, it's simulcasting
adult contemporary KMBQ-FM.

My thoughts...
Some people need to get a life. If they're so worried about radio waves,
then need to get rid of satelitte tv, cellphones and microwaves.

In a KTUU-TV Anchor article, two neighbors were quoted as saying:
"Matthews and Wise say they both have brain damage caused by poisoning and
are fearful the tower will have a neurological effect."

You think those two neighbors wear tinfoil hats too?
