Re: [IRCA] Tower height vs power

Mike, Thanks. I fiqured there must be a reason no one uses anything over 5/8 on a tower. In some areas, I am sure a fullwave tower could be used. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://mo

Re: [IRCA] Tower height vs power

Patrick -- As you go higher than a 5/8ths wave -- you start to get a "kick-back" of skywave against the ground wave. A full wave would be like using a tree stump. Almost all of the Clear Channel -- 1A -- 50 kw stations use half-wave. And you do have to figure the ground as well as the gro

Pete, Interesting they were listed at DA1 in 1989. Seems to me when I visited KSLM back in the early 70s they were ND 5/1 KW. The CE said, they had to drop power to protect other stations. KSLM is an old station. They were number one with Adult Standards for many years. They were live and had a gr

Re: [IRCA] towers & power levels

Scott, OK, thanks. KSLM must have added quite a bit of height to the new tower to have to drop from 1 KW to 680 watts. That is about a 1/3 of their power dropped. Going to a bigger tower yet, maybe they would have to drop to 500 watts. Interesting tower height vs power levels. 73, Patrick Patr

Re: [IRCA] Tower height vs power

Scott, I guess I should have mentioned, I was referring to groundwave instead of skywave. The skip angle would be different. Mentioning tower height, it taller the better was the rule, how much better would a full wave tower work over 1/2 or 5/8 wave? If a 1 KW station is running 1/4 wave, go
