[IRCA] KAST Astoria going IBOC?

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

I was looking through the new NRC log tonight under IBOC stations and I
about fell out of my chair when I noticed that KAST 1370 Astoria listed
as IBOC. I would be really surprised as they do not have much of a
budget and their transmitter is older. Wishfull thinking? I am going
over to KAST tomorrow to resent the CE with one of Scott Fybush's
calendars, thanking Tom Freel for the great tour of New NW BCers at the
2006 IRCA convention.  The cover of Scott's great calendar is the KAST
site. KAST was going to have an X Band station on 1700 (KCHT) that never
materialized, so who knows, but IBOC in Clatsop County on AM?   Also
1570 was supposed to be a 50 KW station, even a CP that was never built.
But time will tell. At least the locals are low power here and rather
weak, but IBOC in Clatsop County? The West side of Kauai is looking
better all of the time.

73,
