KRXY done?

SomeRadioGuy said:
fccdata shows 101.9 used to rebroadcast KMAS over a decade ago. im assuming they bought it so they can move it since 103.3 and 101.9 dont seem to cover alot different territory

Not sure of the master plan. Could be a move or maybe a little engineering is in process. The 101.9 signal already comes in better in Olympia while the 103.3 seems better in Shelton and points north. We will see- years ago we had an LPFM on Bald Mtn, just south of Olympia and our little 7 watts did a pretty fair job covering the immediate community all the way up to Lacey, so that would be one of several options where a translator could be moved.
 
Okay RF wizards. Can KRXY work as a directional C2 or C1 from South Mountain? I will have to make some computers runs but obviously any signal will have to protect 94.5 Vancouver like the proposed 105.7 KJET upgrade does. There's little space and vertical rates are probably through the roof there.
 
Vancouver really doesn't have anything to do with why KRXY can't move to South Mountain, it's been proven time after time why that site can work. The problem is Longview to the south. Unless there's another frequency available for KLYK to move to, there's no way KRXY can upgrade. Driving on I-5 around Chehalis, you can already hear Shelton trying to cut in over Longview.
 
There's also KATS Yakima in the question of upgrading KRXY. And CFBT. Before KTTH (and KMIH previously, Hot Jamz Radio) were on 94.5, CFBT and KRXY had expanded fringe coverage areas. I remember being on the Mukilteo and Edmonds beaches with solid, loud 94.5 the Beat.

I think I only heard KATS *once*, maybe twice, in my younger years on the 'green' side of the Cascades. Even at 100,000 watts, the Cascades blocked it all, minus KPQ-102.1 and hints of KXLE-95.3. If I were to head back to Thrashers Corner and Canyon Park, I wonder if I'd still pull in KPQ? Or is that Seattle University LP (or whatever) too strong?
