The difference between 34KW and 50KW at during the day may be because by day they have to protect a station they arent required to at night and 50KW by day wud require probably a 2nd tower or maybe a 3rd.. and by going Non D day and DA night, they only have to have one pattern.. which is quite simple to build out and proof
Their day pattern, if they went to 50kw would require, as I said, another two.. more engineering work... therefore making it too costly compared to the return theyd get. The immediate area wont notice much a difference beteeen 34KW and 50KW.. only the outerlying areas will. I hope Ive made some sense Paul Walker www.walkerbroadcasting.com www.wabv1590.com www.myspace.com/walkerbroadcasting On 4/17/07, Patrick Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks Paul.
