Deane ran the numbers (and gave me the formula for figuring ERP on my own) for KPWX. Their day 25Kw pattern has an ERP of 51 Kw at 0 degrees, which is fairly close to being aimed right at CKWX. So wonder if maybe an engineer told the station management that 50Kw of signal (ERP) is headed our way instead of saying 25 Kw and then having to explain ERP. Good thing Vancouver is not on a 45 degree heading - the ERP that way is 81 Kw. Also the short towers have been mentioned which puts the first hop close-in, like maybe Vancouver. :)
102Kw ERP (toward Vancouver) if they get the 50 Kw app approved. :O 73, Dave in Indy PS: Love the "50,000 Kw" number. Bet they could hear that 24/7 - us too. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 04:27:53 -0500 From: "Paul B.

They're probably asusming that the 50KW CP will be granted and using that to help their case.. since to listeners, 50KW is alot more then 25KW in their mind. although the actual difference between 25KW and 50KW aren't much at all.
