uh, yeah, forgot about that. I haven't even thought about AM for a month
now, getting ready for FM-TV season. I guess IBOC 1080 would just about put
the wipe on 1090 a lot of the tme, as it does on 1070. Anyhow, FWIW I have
removed one of two longwires that cross neighbouring properties. The other
comes out tomorrow. The three easterlies are also now tucked away deep in
the woods so no one finds them (oh the price of copper...). I'll be back at
AM in September. (I will take my Prison Radio ULR with me in June when I'm
travelling on holidays and give some transoceanics a shot).

Perhaps the trick is in the engineering. The right power, pattern,
height. I'd expect that CTV, the owner of CKKW, will be happy with
a signal that doesn't go too far oustide the Kitchener-Waterloo
area. Guelph in the east, London in the west, the same mileage
north and south. The 1090 signal gets chopped up pretty badly by
Baltimore. I'd heard rumours for a year or so that this was coming.
I'm not surprised. DX-wise I am glad to potentially have a new
workable channel. WBAL like all clears will be easily nulled.
Arkansas will be there, but so will other new DX goodies. Adding
99.5 with a couple thou watts won't do any serious damage to FM
DXing here.
There's no way that 1090 would become "workable" here. Thanks to the
digital dribblings from WTIC and WTAM, 1090 is a basket case in this
locale.
