Gotta chime in and agree with Patrick here. Andy Skotdal, the 1520 applicant in WA, has been fighting for many, many years (and with literally millions of his own dollars) to get his new site for KRKO built. He finally won approval earlier this year (after a series of lawsuits that literally filled two big horizontal filing cabinets when I visited him in 2005), and has just started construction. Adding more towers at that site will NOT be a walk in the park - not with those neighbors up there. There's also a competing app for 1520 somewhere else in that part of WA that still has to go away before Andy can get his 1520... s _______________________________________________ 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]
