Re: [IRCA] Article of interest

I agree with Bruce. Economic issues:
(1) Look at all the Canadians who are dropping acreage-eating AM DA arrays for monopole FM
(2) Look at all the US stations which are dropping night DAs in favor of lower power non-DA night operation
(3) I think some, like KMJ, have gone to 50kw solely to cut through today's increased electronic interference and better serve their cities-of-license

And yes, it is expensive. KJR had to do it twice; the co-siting with KHHO here in Tacoma obviously didn't fly.
