Mark Durenberger - mrkdrnbrgr@xxxxxxxxx

What's fun is to see how far you can track the harmonics on some high-power
stations.  For example, in the Twin Cities area it's quite easy to hear WCCO
(50kw, 830) on 1660.  And you can drive a LONG way from the tower and still
hear it quite nicely, thank you!

Until the new band is wallpapered over with locals, this gives those of us
"close-in" a chance to predict Expanded-band reception from WBAP, WCCO, WHAS
and KOA, all of whom no doubt have 2nd Harmonics well below the FCC
requirements.  But it might also be interesting to see what other stations
on those channels might be doing; unintentionally or otherwise.
