The FCC has deleted the 1700 KAST Allocation. 1630, 1650 and 1700 as well as all upper end channels are "Short Spaced" to other licensed stations to KOHI. End of story. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/

The OM at KAST said the time ran out and they decided not to build it. But as far as I know the FCC has not given it to anyone else.
