WMKK

[Dan.Strassberg]

Has WKAF turned on the CP 2.05 kW yet? It easily could have because I
doubt that the CP to increase from 1.7 kW to 2.05 kW involved any
construction at all--most likely just dialing up the power on the
existing transmitter. No changes to the existing two-bay antenna. That
increase, when implemented, will finally make the station a full Class
A; that wasn't possible until what used to be WINQ moved out of the
way; I think it moved from Winchendon MA to Keene NH.
