JD,

Sounds Like "Good News" )

Maybe Low Power FM (LPFM) will be the DXing Challenge of the Future.

Like the college and high school stations used to be. Around here,
there used to be alot of schools with 10 watt FM transmitters. They
rarely kept to a strict schedule, especially around holidays. Sometimes
10 watts of pure mono FM could be heard miles away.

Then the FCC mandated all those transmitters had to be upgraded to
100watts. Many of the stations didn't bother, they just went dark.
Some of the rest decided to take themselves too seriously, and start
acting like minor league network stations. Actually, the one college
broadcaster I can think of who made it big, Carl Amare of old time radio
fame, started here at a 10 watter. I heard him play the old time radio
shows many times!

FD,

Before College Low Power FM Stations became so popular.
I remember back in the day when Pacific Union College in Angwin CA
had a Low Power AM Radio Station and it was quite a catch back then.
