greetings, a story in the NY Times entitled Enshrining the Rockies as the Unofficial Team of the Wide-Open Spaces contains reference to listening to KOA from as far away as Texas (this past summer). . . which I gather is more difficult now in the IBOC era. Maybe someone who can speak directly to this deterioration of reception thanks to IBOC from 840 & 860 wants to contact the writer?
ef who listened to the Rockies on AM 1080 while living in Lake Louise URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/18/us/18denver.html?ref=sports story starts as below DENVER, Oct. 17 — This is where the Colorado Rockies<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/sports/baseball/majorleague/coloradorockies/index.html?inline=nyt-org>play baseball as the home team, at least in the flesh. Fans celebrated after the Rockies' victory on Monday that propelled them into their first World Series. But through the magic of radio they are also the home team five hours away in Chadron, Neb., over a 1,000-watt radio station, KCSR, that Linda Wineteer tunes in to for almost every game. The Chadron station carries the Rockies play-by-play up into South Dakota as well, at least until about sundown, when the signal strength starts to fade. That's when John Soderquist, another diehard Rockies fan, turns to KOA, a 50,000-watt station in Denver. KOA can be picked up at night all the way into Texas, said Mr. Soderquist, who listened to a Rockies game from there this summer while traveling. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
