We (WISN) actually had a CP for 25kW nights.  We still have a Potomac 
for 12 towers and to land to do it.  I think they were trying to do it 
with 9 towers.  They never could get the null to Minneapolis to be 
within specs.  I bet with the new computer programs we could now however 
:-D.

Also makes me sad to see the LICENSE for 365 KILOWATTS for one of our 
FMs.  They downgraded when they moved the FM into the city in the 
fifties.  Sigh, now we are stuck with a class B.
