Re: [IRCA] 1550 KIVA Albuquerque heard in Michigan, with only 2 minutes to spare!

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

The daytime signals between the two are nearly the same.. both at 10KW...
1600's tower is just slightly further south, where it looks like it's a bit
more populated.

Where they will gain is the 27W on 1550 vs 175W on 1600 at night.. that
night power will serve more people.
