I think what Patrick is asking has to do with what seems to be a  
relaxation of the rules leading up to the granting of power increases  
on what were former daytime-only (Mexican/Canadian clears)  
frequencies. KTCT is going for 50kw at night on 1050; same with KNTS.  
Something has changed at the FCC; otherwise, Jim Gabbert would have  
originally applied for 50kw fulltime rather than 50/10. The KNTS  
pattern is going to be interesting. The towers can't be too far east  
because of KWG on 1230. Whatever they do it won't be helpful to Pat  
or me.

Equally interesting are the 50kw grants all over the country. I like  
the ones in ME, NH & VT.  Some are on former clears but many are on  
regionals. True, they are for 50kw days and lesser power at night but  
I'm OK with SR & SS DX. For a medium which is supposedly dying, this  
is mystifying.
