AM Nighttime Only

[Mark Casey]

Split frequency doesn't sound like such a bad idea. At least 227 watts would 
serve a significant area. Just use 2 buttons on your radio.

Of course then there is the cost of the filing changes and engineeering.

Wasn't WNYC - New York City split 820/830 a few years back?
