WMVX (ex-WNSH) granted 50 kW-D

[Dan.Strassberg]

IIRC, the first application for high power from the Beverly 1570 was for 50
kW. In order to get FCC approval, the proposed power had to be reduced to 30
kW. Now they are going to 50 kW with no problems. The only way this scenario
makes sense to me is if the original 50 kW app used M-3 soil conductivity.
That would have opened the door for basing the application that gave rise to
the just-granted CP on conductivity measurements made by personnel engaged
by the station. As I understand it, such situations are not especially
uncommon, although the cost of making all of those measurements can run into
more money than a small station might be willing to pend. Maybe Costa used
the money they got for relinquishing the WNSH call letters;>). I forget
which company "bought" the WNSH calls; might have been Cumulus.
