Re: [IRCA] Copper/Radials

Mike,

Now that idea may work. The stations could indeed have their cake and
eat it too. Stations like KAST would drool to get coverage like that.
But people would have to have the radios. How long would that take.?
Stations are not going to move unless they feel that most of their
audience can continue to listen. There is a real fear that moving can
distroy what they built up for the past 60 or 70 years. People tuning in
even with a 5 year window of operating on both channels, may not know
even at the end where to retune. Convincing the station owners to go for
that is the question.

That CP then for 1700 was quite old if Astoria Broadcasting Corp applied
for 1700. Bob Chopping was the previous owner and he apparently was
thinking of the future. The station is moving its studios in the next
couple of years though. They do not own the property. Chopping still
does I guess. But the towers & tx stay put. 

73,

Patrick
