The Godzilla of home raddios

[dtvmcdonald]

I believe that the FCC still has the ability to license superpower stations, it just has decided not to.

Our local college FM station was at one time 300 kW, but they let that lapse so as to get a taller tower. The new tower is a couple of miles farther away, but the older one calculates to have put a substantially larger signal into the lown of license. Its now only 100 kW. (Signal to noise is now limited by distortion products of the IBOC carriers, not signal level).
