WNSH-AM 1570 To Boost Power To 50K?

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Even though the signal difference will be minimal, maybe building
penetration will be a bit better?

Plus, 50KW looks good to local, regional and national ad reps/agencies.

"Highest power allowed by law" they can claiom.

But we all know where "50KW on paper" got WALE 990.
