Re: [IRCA] 540 in MN
250Watts night time on 540 should be a very useable signal in the immediate
area at night and then some.
WXYG 540 is triplexed (sharing towers with 2 other stations) including 10KW
sports station 660 WBHR and 1700Watter nostalgia formatted 1010 WMIN.
You see lots of diplexing, 2 stations on one set of towers, here in the
US... but very very few cases of triplexing. It's expensive, time consuming
to set up and time consuming to maintain.
