I can tell you that WQCR is barely audible or not audible at all on 1500 Khz at night here, just a mile or two from the transmitter even with specialized receivers, low noise loop antennas, etc. Like many things the FCC has done over the years, this one makes no sense at all. How can they be serving an audience of any size at night with 3 watts of power?
Add that to the list that includes IBOC-HD Radio, relaxation of the Clear Channel rules, AM Revitalization, FM translators, Low Power FM, andâ..andâ..
