WVBF Middleboro requests power increase

[Dan Strassberg]

Yes. The current tower is under 100'; the new one will be about 160'. The
new tower will be more efficient. The 2.2 kW non-CH day power is equivalent
to more than 2.5 kW from the old tower. The 940W CH power will produce ever
so slightly more coverage than the 1 kW D power from the shorter tower. The
night coverage, if any, will be slightly impoved (the RMS field goes from
12.61 mV/m @ 1 km to slightly more than 13 mV/m). Whoopee!
