With the recently competed 50,000-watt upgrade for KTNO 1440, it's getting really crowded at the upper end of the AM band. Now there's an application from Dallas' KNIT 1480, currently licensed for 5,000 watts daytime, which wants to run 45,000 watts with a large lobe pointing north-northwest from their site in southeast Dallas County: http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/formsprodgetattachment_exh.cgi?exhibit_id=652518 To do that they'd have to take KVLH 1470 up in Paul's Valley OK silent, providing the FCC approves. Maybe it's not a problem, though, since KVLH is co-owned and they're making a fairly convincing argument. Or so it would seem.
Sure, it would put a healthy city-grade over Dallas, part of southern Collin County and southward over much of Ellis County. But despite the big power increase there would be wicked nulls toward Arlington, Fort Worth, and points northwest. The other bad news is that the 1,900 nighttime signal would remain as it is, simply hideous.
