Don, I had not noticed KRVM, but there is a good possibility they are on day power too Shouldn't everybody? Since there is no FCC to speak of, stations can get away with about anything they want to.

Re: [IRCA] KXOR-660 etal
There is an FCC. However, if they acted on every single DX'ers report of I think this station is running over powered that's all they'd ever be investigating. As much as I don't like stations running overpower, they have other pressing matters to attend to. And unless you have field measurements to prove the excessive power claim, they won't do anything (Just like a friend in the SE USA who took Field Inesntiy Measurements on a station who was supposed to be running 101 Watts at night, but was, instead, running 4000... the FCC will be acting on THAT!)

Re: [IRCA] KXOR-660 etal
Paul, I e mailed an FCC official about a station once and the FCC official being in Portland did not really investagate the station as it was in another state where there are no FCC officials. I don't blame the FCC as they do not have the resources or manpower to ride herd on broadcasters today. I blame our government for downsizing the FCC to where it is today. They talk about the money it takes to do the job. If we are going to allow zillions of stations operating in the country, there should be FCC offices and officials to ride herd on all of them. We seem to have money for everything else. Bob interviewed several retired FCC officials and they were not happy with the New FCC. It is like downsizing the police departments as it takes too much money to run them. If the FCC fined every station for breaking the rules, then they would have plenty of money to operate the FCC. However, the rules come from higher up, don't ask don't tell. The FCC just does not have the help it needs. If you downsize any agency, then anything goes. Back in the 60s 70s, the FCC would have nailed any station that repeatedly broke the rules. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Not true. The money the FCC collects goes into the general fund and they do NOT get to keep the amount. They are given a budget.

Re: [IRCA] KXOR-660 etal
Powell, Yes, I know the FCC is given a budget, but maybe that should be increased? If we are going to support such a gov. agency, then it should work well. Like it once did.
