AFRTS Buchannan could be easily heard in Hato Rey, Old San Juan and
Cataņo and the northern reaches of Guaynabo, very illegal coverage. AFRTS
Ramey could be heard on the coast as far as Isabela to the East and
Aguada and Moca to the West and Southwest.

That's totally illegal. The proof is that both switched to low power FM
when the PRBA presented its case.



That's a lie. Everyone knows that a radio station can't be heard beyond
their COL. Eduardo says so... oh, wait....


An AFRTS on an ADMINISTRATIVE base that is less than a square mile does not
need to put 10 mv/m over an area 10 mi8les away. A carrier current AM would
have worked; the other AM at Ramey has such a good signal it was DXed nearly
2000 miles away and could be piced up easily for more than 20 miles from the
base on land. Neither obeyed either the spirit or the intent of the
restrictions on AFRTS stations... starting with the fact that putting them
on US soil and then allowing them to compete over areas as big as several
hundred square miles of off-base US territory was not appropriate. If there
had been an AFRTS station at one of the San Antonio bases that could be
heard in downtown SA it would have been closed in about 90 seconds.


A lot of folks lived off base?

But, at any rate, as usual, you are way off base, 'Eduardo'.

Give it up, and leave the country, yet again.
