Guys: Just because the technical data on radio-locator.com, fccinfo.comk or fcc.gov shows 6 towers in the pattern itself, doesn't mean that's all there is at the transmitter site.
KVRI has 2 directional pattern, the night pattern being a bit looser then the day pattern. With 2 different patterns being needed, it's likely.. and very possible that the night pattern can't be created by the same 6 towers that the day pattern uses. While KVRIs day and night pattern comefrom the samepieceof property, I wouldn't doubt that there's 11 towers up there spread out to meet the pattern requirements. The Day and night patterns may have some towers in common, might not. When they switch to the night pattern, they may only use 1 of the day towers and include 5 other towers only used at night. KVRI is owned by Way Broadcasting, Inc aka Multicultural Radio Broadcasting and the station is targetting an ethic audience so I guess they'll do what it takesto put up that many towers. Being on 1600Khz, the towers arent but 130 feet or so. even if they're guyed towers, it'd only require aobut 25 to 30 acresof land.. which ISN"T alot. And although it might be expensive, itprobably palesin comparison to what tyhe station makes in an LMA and block time fees.
