Same killer signal, provided by 200 degree towers, sending its signal NNW 
and SSE, only, nights. ND days.

Both the West and East coasts have Class A stations on 1090, which 
provide mutual protection, so it has been possible to drop-in flea-power 
stations between Baltimore and Little Rock, and between Tiajuana and 
Little Rock.

The 1090 flamethrower in Seattle is a Class B, and even its 50 kW in the 
Pacific Northwest's very poor ground doesn't allow such a signal to go 
far. Essentually, its signal is constrained to the salt-water areas of 
Puget Sound. Doesn't help that there's a full-power station on 1080 in 
Portland, about 100 miles away.

In fact, the ground is so bad up there that is is possible to have two 
co-channel Class Bs which are about 40 miles apart, and two full-power 
co-channel Class Bs (one of which is a "legacy" station operating 5 kW 
ND-U) which are less than 120 miles apart.
