[IRCA] PART 15 QUESTION

[Pete Taylor <ptdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several months ago, I picked up a Part 15 station, Browns Point  
Radio, on 1700kHz, and naturally, tracked it. I live in NE Tacoma;  
Browns Point is to my west and is home of the beloved KKMO-1360  
transmitter. Coverage on 1700 was pretty spotty, and in fact, did not  
even include all of Browns Point. At night, from home, the station  
deferred to the XE near San Diego. Recently, they have jacked up the  
power significantly. I heard it in Wright Park in downtown Tacoma,  
along the Schuster Parkway and even on highway 509 where KHHO's  
harmonic used to dominate.

Today the station did a 1pm ID and went in to an IRN newscast which  
over a five-minute period, contained two national advertiser  
commercials. I found this somewhat unique and just wondered if Part  
15 stations could legally carry ads.
