Re: [IRCA] KARR 1460 Kirkland WA new CP



This was granted on February 10. It's happening more and more. Land developers with dollar $igns in their eyes offer a property owner a ton of money they'd be stupid to turn down. These 25% of licensed power STAs are granted all the time in emergency situations beyond the control of the licensee.

The towers it was using had a small amount of top loading.  Including that they were one quarter wavelength (.25). A 20 meter wire is .10 wavelength. Finding a new site of its own would probably be impossible for a lot of reasons. Diplexing is most likely the only solution. Diplexed stations can get out well if an engineer with experience sets up the equipment.

It will operate using a vertical wire of approx 20 meters in height from a location of 47.38.39  122.09.25  at 1/4 night time power of 625 watts. This is due to the loss of their lease of the transmitter site.
