Re: [IRCA] 1130 Interference

Deane ran the numbers (and gave me the formula for figuring ERP on my
own) for KPWX.  Their day 25Kw pattern has an ERP of 51 Kw at 0 degrees,
which is fairly close to being aimed right at CKWX.  So wonder if maybe
an engineer told the station management that 50Kw of signal (ERP) is
headed our way instead of saying 25 Kw and then having to explain ERP.
Good thing Vancouver is not on a 45 degree heading - the ERP that way is
81 Kw.  Also the short towers have been mentioned which puts the first
hop close-in, like maybe Vancouver. :)

102Kw ERP (toward Vancouver) if they get the 50 Kw app approved. :O

73,
Dave in Indy

PS: Love the "50,000 Kw" number.  Bet they could hear that 24/7 - us
too. :)

I actually thought about that..lol.

They're probably asusming that the 50KW CP will be granted and using
that to
help their case.. since to listeners, 50KW is alot more then 25KW in
their
mind. although the actual difference between 25KW and 50KW aren't much
at
all.
