Re: [IRCA] Quite possibly the smallest licensed radio station...



Sounds like a "how low can ya go" reverse auction but I found one just
slightly worse than Paul's weaklings.

1550 WMSK MORGANFIELD KY 145 6 NDA  C&W //FM 95.3 EX-WMSK/WYGS.  They
are 145 watts day, 6 watts night.  

The problem in comparing low power stations that appear to be full time,
is that just because you are authorized a night power or pre sunrise,
post sunset etc., is that many stations don't use them and just sign
off.  Case in point is one my locals WGNR-AM 1470 Anderson, IN.  They
are authorized 1Kw days and 35 watts nights.  I have heard them sign off
at 4:30 PM in Winter - 45 minutes before LSS.
