The station will have the same power during critical hours (Sunrise to 2 hours later and 2 hours before sunset up till sunset) that it has at night, 50KW.
The reason for more power at night is.. because they can! It's not common, but not unheard of to have more power at night because what they have to protect during the day isn't there at night or what theyre protecting during the day changes facilities at night and requires less protection. Plus, there are simply no rules saying stations can't have more power at night The Skotdal Family has a long history in radio and have been pretty friendly, so it'll be interesting to see what they do with this. I applaud them for getting a second station and building it from the ground up. More power to the local broadcasters.. Im sure they will do something with this station that is useful50KW at night directional NW should be a HUGE signal! Paul On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 11:58 PM, Paul B.
