WSQR 1560 has been granted an application to move to 1180 khz and increase power. Any idea when they plan on doing this?

Wow, hadn't heard that. Are they still owned by Larry Nelson? If so, I'm assuming there's no one even in the building over there on Coltonvile Road.

You got to hand it to nelson. He's going to end up with a really nice daytimer there. Assuming 1160 never goes IBOC & some day they turn the iboc crap off of 1200. The old 1180 CP was with monster 6 tower directional station. I wonder if it was all a ploy to hold the the coverage?

If so is the 5 tower monster on 1480 he has filed to build in millbrook really just a holding pattern? I can't see it being build with 5 towers. But even if 1480 in madison goes silent. How can that help with 1490 in beloit?

I think the only AM's worth building now are omni. Night time is not even worth the effort IMO.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by Link on 03/11/06 09:49 PM.</FONT></P>
 
When the FCC was planning AM stations, they didn't give a lot of thought about the future. Lots of small town AM stations, daytimers. What about a good regional AM. KMOX is a blowtoch, I'm not talking 50kW. What about 5KW with a good 1KW for nighttime? That 100watt junk is horrible.
 
As of today, Oct 23, WSQR was on 1180. The daytime signal a definite upgrade from 1560.
