Re: [IRCA] KORC 820 Licensed and Silent
Dennis,
Yes, I remember the history well. An older man got the CP back in the
80s on 850 with 250w. I can't remember his name without checking the
QSL. He was visiting stations on the coast and stopped in at KSWB. A
very nice gentleman. He built the station and wanted Adult Standards on
the air in the retirement community of Waldport. 250w daytimer on 850
was fine with him as that was enough. I think he got the whole thing up
and running for under $50 K, tower, transmitter and all he said. The
station was loved from the beginning. He sold the station a few years
later and the new owner applied for 820 to get fulltime operation and to
boost to 1 KW days. The station still never covered anything other than
Waldport all that well. But the station had stuck with the adult
standards format for years. First it was live, then later on when it was
sold, they went to satellite. If I wanted to move to Waltport and didn't
have a business to run, I would consider buying KORC. Not that expensive
and it would be fun to operate. Waldport is a nice little coastal town.
73,
