Scott, Thanks for the link. I ran off a copy of KGA's proposed pattern. I was surprised to see they are still going to put a lot of signal to the SW, in the direction of the Bay area. I expected a tighter null and more signal directed North towards Spokane. Tonight earlier I was getting KGA at S9+55DB on peaks, often the strongest thing on the dial. This is off the Eastern beverage. The strongest local, KAST is S9+38 DB!. I just checked and KGA is still peaking S9+45 DB, probably due to the high A &K index, being down a bit, if you can call it that KGA is to the NE. But with the proposed change to 15 KW and the pattern is not that different than it is now, as there is still a lot of power to the SW, I see the S Meter peaking at S9+30 or 35 DB, mybe more, so it will still hog the channel here. A bit of a disappointment.
