And let's talk about FM's for just a second. A Salem station on 105.3
used to be heard over most of Portland. They decided to up their
audience
a little bit by moving their tower site to a point between Portland and
Salem, off to the east a bit from both, and now they're considered a
city
grade contour for both cities and most places in between on the I-5
corridor. They can be heard on a car stereo solidly as far south as
Eugene. Basically what they did to the station was turned it from a
Salem
local to a rimshotter and made a big success of it.
And that explains why it does not exist now?
Actually, they DO still exist. There was a frequency realignment in the
region a while back, where stations were fudged a bit to allow addition of
a couple more stations into the crowded market (98.5 was moved to 98.7,
allowing a new station on 97.9, 105.3 moved to 105.1 to make room for a
new station on 105.9) Man, RadioLocator is out of date for the area....
KRSK's CP pretty much city--grades the market on 105.1; the old facility
with the site in the vicinity of Silverton missed about 40% of the market on
t he 70 dbu.
Pest status... indeed.
