[BC] 1450 CP in Hawaii

[Aaron Savage]

Being familiar with Hilo...since I was raised there.  It is a tough
radio game and ever tougher for AM.  I am very familiar with the sites
and there are only two am sites at the present time.

50K may be a steal but the tower build and maintenance will get you.
However, if the land can hold a decent AM antenna and ground system I
know of other AM's looking for tower space.
