Hi Doug,

You've got it backwards, I'm pretty sure.

"For the past 10 years, KPSU has leased 73 hours of airtime each week on 
KBPS 1450 AM, the frequency run by Benson High School's 
communication-studies program. KPSU pays Portland's biggest school 
district $46,000 a year to rent the station on evenings and weekends."

(from Willamette Week,10/13/04, http://www.wweek.com/editorial/3050/5591)

The PSU students use their own studios and the KBPS transmitter. Betcha 
lunch at Seaside this September that you hear a "KBPS Portland" legal ID 
every hour when "KPSU" is operating at 1450.

There is no carrier-current 1450 operation at PSU, as best I can tell - 
it would be overwhelmed by the KBPS signal, and in any event they do 
have the unlicensed 98.3 signal to cover campus, more or less.
