KAYO 100.9 Country Legends (50 KW) from Wasilla ( Tower on Lazy Mtn looking over Palmer). Owned by Morris Communications who own the Anchorage cluster (KWHL, KBRJ, KEAG, KFQD, KHAR, KMXS). Looking to give KMBQ some competition in the rapidly growing Mat Valley. Some parts of Anchorage get fairly decent reception (downtown, westside & Jewel Lake, but spotty at best on the Eastside and Hillside. This the 33rd radio station for the Anchorage/Matsu area.

New Station On the Air- KAYO 100.9 Country Legends

No reception down here near the KENI towers on Dowling. If it's "Country Legends" are they focusing more on classic country? If so that's kinda different from the million other stations here.
The potential issue is not the height above Palmer; rather the height of the center of radiation above the ground. Reflections can produce strange results, sometimes cancellations that are not always predictable. Time will tell. There was a good reason the station wanted 200' - having to do with that effect. Of course if they went to a higher transmitter power and lower gain antenna than originally planned it should lessen the effect. They were originally proposing to make 50 kW out of about 18 kW input.
