Not a chance they are running 29W... I'm convinced that they've been running 
their 500W day power 24/7 for at least three years.  Moreover, I don't think 
they're running their proper DA pattern either... probably pumping that 500W 
into a single stick.  Even when CBE was still on, I heard them regularly, 
night after night.

I'm not sure I'll be up for the KRPI test either, but whether I'm awake or 
just recording in absentia, I'll try to null some of the WQEW hiss and hope 
for the best.  You can hear test tones and such under regular stations, but 
not under that continuous broadband crud.
