FCC to hold auction for new Lebanon AM

An application for 1410 at Lebanon with 250 watts day & night, directional, two different patterns will compete with an application for the same frequency at Adrian, Michigan. The auction will be held on May 6 of next year; the minimum opening bid will be $2,500.

Apparently the Lebanon and Adrian facilities would be technically mutually exclusive. Gotta love AM.

(the busiest auction will involve eight applicants to use 1370 in Colorado, Nevada, or New Mexico. One proposes to move a daytime-only station from Abbeville, South Carolina to a Las Vegas suburb.)
 
Years ago when most transmitters were still powered by kerosene I worked at a 250 watt daytimer on 740 KC (this was before Hertz was invented) in West Tennessee. Quarterly we would be allowed to sign on at night for frequency measurement tests. We were daytime supposedly to protect KRMG in Tulsa from interference. As a result of our freq check nights we would consistently receive QSL cards from 500 to 700 miles away.

Which, given that Tulsa is about 600 miles from Nashville, explains why your daytimer was a daytimer :)
