Re: [IRCA] KRKO TOWERS FALL
This was a big news story on KOMO while I drove to work today. There are several pictures of the damage on KOMO's website http://www.komonews.com/news/local/57260622.html It looks like someone used a large excavator to pull over one of the tower legs. A couple of towers are still standing so KRKO may be using the remaining ones at reduced power.
As Pete noted, KRKO is still on the air. I live in their null so they're never all that strong where I live and work The signal sounded about normal (lots of noise) when I was heading to work. The guys in Victoria are in KRKO's main lobe so they might notice a difference.

Apparently an eco-oriented group bulldozed through the fence and
felled a couple of the new KRKO-1380 towers this morning around 3
PDT. Noted still on the air at 9am PDT so they must not have
dismantled the old site or are on an STA with a variance. Because of
overload slop from 1-mile-away KKMO-1360, I can't tell if the IBOC is
on.
