Re: [IRCA] KOHI to move antenna

[vroomski@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Pat,

Just checked the BC map and KVRI-KOHI-KOPT are lined up
in a North to South line.  If KOHI had the money they could set
up two or three antennas and put out a West to East signal.  KXTA
Utah is Southeast of KOHI at 650 miles.  A KOHI with  
directional antennas could get an increase in power?
Would be nice if listeners in Western Columbia county could hear
the only station in their county.  

With a rate at $15.00 for 60 seconds between 6 AM-6 PM, it 
would be hard to spend a lot of money on a new antenna system.
