[IRCA] Opinions requested on documenting station swaps

I'm playing with radio station history again and I'm doing battle with myself about how to document station swaps. I'll give two examples. Example #1: A few years back, KLOC/920/Ceres CA format moved to KVIN/1390/Turlock CA, and the KVIN format moved over to KLOC. The call letters swapped with

KXBT started on 1640 (logged here on 3/11/1995), switched to 1630 (logged here on 4/1/1996), then back to 1640 again. Miami Springs was never easy here, but in 1997, they were my first new Florida station since 1971. Mike Hawkins On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 2:01 AM, Mike Sanburn mikesanb

I'm just down the road from Don about 15 miles, and KCBC is pretty strong here. Their IBOC plays some serious hell with adjacents. I lived in Manteca for a few years, and regularly roamed anywhere in the Bay Area and San Joaquin Valley. Bay Area stations do cover Manteca very well in the

Eh? Not sure I follow. Their signal handled their COL just fine. At night in Manteca, they owned the air as well. When they went off at night (11pm), KKOB was in very well, but not until KCBC went off. They were much stronger in their COL.I think they learned something from KTRB and are
