CORRECTION?

I've been told that WPEN's 50 kW upgrade has never been built.


I think you're right, but I suspect the writer was saying that WPEN's main lobe is
effectively 200kW. Sounds a bit high to me, though....this would mean, what, 16dB
over isotropic? Nah, that's not right. Here's WPHT's coverage
(http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin...atus=L&hours=U) and
here's WPEN's nighttime coverage
(http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin...atus=L&hours=N).
WPEN's got a nice lobe over Philadelphia and points east, but it still doesn't match
WPHT's 50kW-U coverage.
