Re: [IRCA] New tower for KGY-1240

["Dennis Gibson" <wb6tnb@xxxxxxx>]

More technical information is available at http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getattachment_exh.cgi?exhibit_id=623111&formid=301&q_num=5180

The engineering report submitted to the FCC (link above) says the new antenna will be approximately 600 feet southeast of the current KGY tower. Perhaps that was changed at some point.
The process of DF'ing the unidentified Russian language station on 1710 has been extremely interesting.
