Re: [IRCA] New Station

[Dennis Gibson <wb6tnb@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is still a station on 550 in Maui. KMVI-550 and KNUI-900 swapped call letters and formats. The one quarter wavelength 550 tower was replaced with a tower less than half as tall with some top loading. I don't think it has much of a chance of reaching the mainland.

Seems like it would take a miracle to log KFRM but Mark said they favor Skywave with their shorter towers so anything is possible. Got to visit the KTSA 550 transmitter site several years back which had 4 very large inline towers on acres of land there near San Antonio. Guess I can add them and KCRS to my wish list.  Ms
