Washington Spokane: KXLY AM / KXLX / KTRW Antenna Changes

R

RF101

From the KXLY filing today:

"This Engineering Report has been prepared in support of an application by QueenB Radio, Inc.
(“QueenB”) to modify the antenna of KXLY(AM) 920 kHz, Spokane, Washington. The currently
licensed tower is on the order of 80 years old, and is becoming structurally unsound. QueenB
proposes to relocate KXLY to an existing, shorter tower on the same parcel, and then demolish
the taller tower. The shorter tower is currently used by KXLX(AM) as part of a nighttime
directional array which includes the taller tower. Power will be increased to compensate for the
shorter, less efficient tower.
Similar applications for collocated KXLX and KTRW will also be filed."

KXLY's daytime power will increase to 25 kw from 20 ; the nighttime power will jump from 5 kw to 5.4 kw. Signal differences should be basically zero.

The KXLY paperwork is here:


As a bonus, I bet some of the antenna property can be liquidated.
