[BC] New PSRA/PSSA nightmare!!

[Jerry Mathis]

I'm just wondering why 500 watts was good enough all this time for KYW, but
now all of a sudden it isn't?

Anyway, as I said, I believe that in my case they are figuring protection
for XEEP in Mexico City.

AND, related to all this, I just saw this over on the CRTECH listserve:

 We just got word back from the FCC that says, in part:

 "We have discovered a few 'bugs' in our mass PSRA/PSSA recalculation, which
we are in the process of investigating. This process should not have
resulted in drastic power reductions for any station, with the exception of
PSRA operation in the month of March under advanced time."

 They added our station to the list of those needing recalculation.

If you received new PSRA & PSSA authorizations that drastically cut your
power levels, it is apparently a mistake & you should call the FCC.

So I will be checking to see if we get an updated authorization. Willie,
this may be the answer to your prayers as well  :)
