Time for a serious FLAT-TOP antenna like they used in the 20's and early
1930's :-))

I would think 1460 exhausted all locations in the area are far as diplexing,
otherwise why go to the long wire? This looks permanent at least until they
can find a site. This may stretch out for quite some time, as long as the
FCC will renew the CP. I am going to give this a shot, but there are several
other stations on 1460. Yakima is quite strong and then the one down in the
valley in Oregon. KARR was not all that strong with 5 KW days.

This was granted on February 10. It's happening more and more. Land
developers with dollar $igns in their eyes offer a property owner a ton of
money they'd be stupid to turn down. These 25% of licensed power STAs are
granted all the time in emergency situations beyond the control of the
licensee.

The towers it was using had a small amount of top loading. Including that
they were one quarter wavelength (.25). A 20 meter wire is .10 wavelength.
Finding a new site of its own would probably be impossible for a lot of
reasons. Diplexing is most likely the only solution. Diplexed stations can
get out well if an engineer with experience sets up the equipment.
