Re: [IRCA] Frank FM 97.1 on 1310- Still ???

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

If it's a hobby station, WHY put it on 1310? Most hobby stations are further
up the dial in the 1600's because of relative antenna efficency. Plus, I
would think there's a slightly better frequency then 97.1 FM as well
