Re: [IRCA] AM Revitalization Order Issued by FCC

[Rick Dau <drummer1965us@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Much like what we have here in Omaha, Russ.  Bott Radio's primary outlet in eastern Nebraska is Lincoln's KLCV 88.5, whose 46,000 watts easily make it into the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area.  But Bott has TWO translators of KLCV's signal located within the Omaha city limits, 92.7 with 140 watts and 93.7 with 92 watts.  The kicker?  Those two translators are on towers that are SIX BLOCKS APART.
