100 kw ERP from the master antenna on Empire (1454' AAT) would actually be 
just about a minimum class C facility, which gets you a primary-coverage 
contour of about 52 miles.

The inverse-square rule will get you every time...you're only looking at, 
what, a 6 or 7 dB improvement on the existing full-B signal?
