Heh.

I remember CKNW here in Vancouver have 120Hz hum for two days. When
driving to work one morning, there was a big BZZZZZT of 60 cycle on the
channel and they were down for two hours for repair.

I can get WFAN almost any night here in Michigan, but I've never yet
gotten it *strong*, and I, too, hear the "hum". It used to be a 50,000W
station, but in August of 2002, it's output power dropped to 35,000W
'round the clock. Still, I feel it should come in stronger than it does.

WFAN is a 50,000 station. It has not dropped power.

They have a permit for a 35,000 watt auxiliary transmitter tuned to an
auxiliary antenna (shorter) to use in emergencies and when they are doing
work on the main tower. The auxiliary tower is not even 1/4 wave, so would,
I believe, be non-conforming as a main antenna.
