Re: [IRCA] new station on 1100, WZFN

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

A new W-call in ND??? No way. City of License is Dilworth MN, which is on
highway 10 just east of Morehead, i.e. a Fargo ND suburb. A new W-call in MN,
that far west of the Mississippi? No way, but there it is! Could it be that FCC
assumed it`s OK since WDAY 970 is in Fargo? But that`s an ancient grandfathered
call. WZFN was assigned already 3/24/2006. It`s been ``licensed and silent``
since 1/22/2008.

Here`s the FCC page about it, 
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=135930
indeed 50 kW non-direxional day, but 22 kW critical hours, 440 watts at night,
2-tower direxional array, slightly different tower coordinates day and night.
Critical and Night pattern shows a cardioid, null toward the SE, i.e. Cleveland
OH.

April SR/SS times are 5:45 am and 7:15 pm, CST, i.e. 6:45 am and 8:15 pm CDT,
i.e. 1145 and 0115 UT. But what are the Critical Hours??

73, Glenn Hauser, OK
