Here are some updates / corrections provided by Barry Mishkind: Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 20:07:10 GMT From: "Barry Mishkind" Subject: Re: Bandscan page Hi Mark, There are numerous errors on the Tucson page. It lists 790 kNST as 1kw, it is 5kW 940 KGMS is not 5 kW, it is 1 kW 1210 KQTL is not 1 kW, it is 10 kW 1290 KCUB is 1 kW 1400 KTUC is 1 kW ( it is possible that it has been reduced due to closeness to Phoenix. IF so, then the nominal 1 kW is less .. but then the same is true of KFFN, which was 800 watts last time I checked. Similarly, KFYI is not 5000 watts, unless they regained that in the last few years.) 1600 KXEW is not 2.5 kW, it is 1 kW. All refer to daytime levels. hope this is of help regards barry _______________________________________________________________________ Barry Mishkind - Tucson, AZ - http://www.broadcast.net/~barry Visit The Broadcast Archive http://www.oldradio.com
