[BC] KWKH

[Golchert, Michael A.]

	Let me set the record straight (from the horses mouth)....KWKH
is currently on STA with parameters at variance.  We had our original
sample lines burn up when the porcelain insulators holding the
non-insulated sample lines off the towers broke.  We have re-designed
the sample system, we have ordered materials and are working to get them
installed.  We then will begin the arduous project of re-tuning the
distributed phasor (not looking forward to that part of the job).
	While I'm not privy to all the plans of CC regarding station
moves, it would not be logical to spend tens of thousands of dollars to
completely re-design a sample system on a station that would be "going
away" (to another market).  CC does not do "stupid" things with their
engineering capital monies.  It's not good business.

HAS IT THAT IN EARLY DAYS OF KWKH THEIR GROUND SYSTEM CONSISTED OF
HOLLOW COPPER PIPE WITH HOLES IN IT AND SALT WATER PUMPED THRU THEM
OCCASSIONALLY.   DONT KNWO FOR SURE, BUT IN ITS HEYDAY KWKH WAS A GIANT.

That would never happen.  They just have a killer signal and we have to
deal with it.  I do the best to provide a legal signal to my area.
