Re: [IRCA] KBNH 1230 Burns OR update

[Dennis Gibson <wb6tnb@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was wrong about the CP expiration date. It was in August of 2015. The other date had to do with another CP to correct the transmitter site geographical coordinates. 

A new license would be needed only if it doesn't return to the air by November 1, the day the license expires. The financial situation must have changed drastically. It spent a lot of money to get the CP. Moving to 1210 would have involved altering the existing tower, building another identical tower and doing everything needed to change to directional. A 15 kW transmitter would have been needed.

According to a guy that read a Facebook message from Leighton Munroe Reed Nickerson, owner of the station, the reasons he shut it down was not to move, but there was basically no business support in Burns, bad economy there, he turned 70, so he cut his loses and shut it down and moved to Australia.  If that is the case, it doesn't look like the station will return.
