.... There were, at the time of the facilities changes on WOWO, stations with
night operations in Kansas City, Anaheim, CA, Portland, OR (50 kw KEX), San
Juan, PR and Dallas, TX. In addition, a dominant station on 1190 is KEWK, a 10
kw operation in Guadalajara, Mexico, as well as a half-dozen other fulltimers
in Mexico on 1190.


There were three Class As on 1190: WOWO, KEX and XEWK.

XEWK is grandfathered at 10 kW.

WOWO and KEX were (pre-WLIB) 50 kW DA-N, with three towers nights, the usual
complement for a U.S. Class I-B.

Every other 1190 (pre-WLIB, again) is a non-dominant station, and as such they
must all protect the secondary service area of all dominant stations. Also,
non-domonant stations on first adjacent-channels, 1180 and 1200, must protect
the primary service area of the dominant stations on 1190.

Obviously, WOWO's downgrade changes matters a bit. Perhaps a lot.

The primary beneficiary of this is the Kansas City 1190.

If there are secondary beneficiaries, these are likely to be restricted by the
existence of the other Class As, which surely aren't going away, to minor
adjustments of their existing patterns, rather than dramatic increases in power
or astonishing reduction in protection.

Also, Class B 1190 stations anywhere near the U.S.-Canadian border may be
restricted by "notified", yet dark, stations in Canada. Those "stations" aren't
likely to go anywhere, either.

One will observe that WLIB protects WOWO and a non-existant, yet "notified"
station in Canada.

Any west coast 1190 is going to be limited by KEX and XEWK, and Anaheim and
Tolleson haven't been able to get around that fact.
