Get Ready for AM 1520

Re: George Frese

We put his Frese Audio Pilot on KOL 1300 AM in Seattle in the early 70s. It was #35 or 36 or so. The modulation was soooo tight. Had to buy modulator tubes more often... George was way ahead of his time, did it all with tubes, and had features nobody else had for years after.

Right after that I believe, one went in at the 1 kw AM in Kennewick. That transmitter didn't like it as much as the big rigs at KOL.

I know this is off-topic so I'll stop now.

The only LPFM I know of is in Bellingham at 102.3. I don't like it because it messes with KZOK big time in many places.

KMRE-LP is an AWESOME station.

It wasn't like you could get KZOK that well in Bellingham anyway. CFRO 102.7 always whipped KZOK on the dial as far as Bellingham signal strength (unless you are on Cornwall, past Bellingham High School or on the higher reaches of Alabama Hill. But elsewhere, 102.5 was hopeless before KMRE-LP.

KAVZ-LP 102.5 in Van Zandt has a shorter signal range than some perfectly legal Part 15 FM transmitters I swear, ZAP! It just comes in for a few blocks and ZAP! it's gone again.....

Actually, KZOK has done well for me in my car. I don't understand what you mean 102.5 was hopeless before KMRE.
