Re: [IRCA] WYLL 1160 - back on

Granted the FCC has a strong engineering background to base their patterns
on. If I understood the technical side this site would fantastic. However
for the non engineering folks such as myself, Radio Locator has points of
reference and I'm perfectly ok with a predictive pattern.
The predictive patterns of the Floridians on 990khz tells me I won't be
hearing them here at night.
As Kirk would say about Spock's estimates,  "I would rather trust Spock's
estimates if I didn't have a computer" :)
