KPFK was there first, has been for many years.
XLNC was created by a bunch of right wingers over in Coronado.

Even so, KPFK was not licenced to serve San Diego. If the yuk-yuks at
Pacifica Los Angeles want to be heard in San Diego, let them buy a
local channel and turn it into a relay for their 90.7 FM signal.

I don't understand how XHLNC/Tijuana is a "jammer"? The station is
licenced to serve the Tijuana/San Diego metro. Whether or not it
blocks reception of an out of town station (KPFK/Los Angeles) is
irrelevant. KPFK's service area is Los Angeles, NOT San Diego.


100,000 watt FM signals are not meant to cover only a single city, but a
very wide area. Most of the 100KW plants in Portland easily cover a 75 mile
radius (easily listenable on even the crappiest of Chinese Junk radios. One
thing the FCC would never do (and it pains me to give them ANY credit
whatsoever) is to put two stations on the same frequency with overlapping
coverage areas (nighttime AM propagation notwithstanding).

The distance from the Mt. Wilson tower site to S.D. is only about 100 miles.
Given terrain and tower height, that's EASILY a listenable signal in S.D.

Good morning Brenda,

Now that we're on the FM thing, there's a station that is in Grand Rapids,
Michigan that for years advertised that it was the most powerful FM station in
the country.

Maybe on 97.3? They now play country, but once were rock.

Could easily pick them up down into Indiana (my home and native land) quite
easily.

No idea I guess.. their predecessors that played rock, even perhaps in the late
60's advertised that they were the most powerful station in the US of A.

Actually, there are two grandfathered stations in Grand Rapids. WOOD has
265,000 watts ERP and WBCT has 320,000 watts ERP. WOOD-FM is on 105.7 and
the other on 93.7. WBCT was originally put on by Fetzer, combining the aural
sections of two high band VHF TV transmitters, modified, to give nearly 500
kw ERP... but, at the time, only horizontal polarization.

Unfortunately, both have had their useful coverage reduced as they are only
protected to the contour of a conforming 50 kw at 500 foot class B FM. More
recent allocations limit the listenership area considerably.
