Re: [IRCA] KBRD -KDLY

[Mike McKenna <way2twohot@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The KBRD / KLDY upgrade - sale is a " NO Win Deal".   Most two-way radio systems have at least 1 KW ERP.   Anything less than 1 KW is NOT going to serve the public or generate income.   680 has no possible chance of nightime service -- nor any real local service.  The 690 in Vancouver pounds the Olmpia area both day and night.  Even with 800 watts -- most of the Olympia area will only hear static on 680.   And the "bitter pill" is even worse.   KLDY 1280 -- ends up programming Spanish.  Just what the Puget Sound or the Pacific Northwest needs more of --- Spanish radio stations.   Since the FCC is asleep -- even if someone protects -- nothing will stop the insane idea from taking place.  Just once -- I wish it could be the daytimer being sold off -- to keep the fulltime frequency -- "as is" -- with good programming that the public wants and supports.
