[BC] Commercial Station Feeding A Commercial Translator Question

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

You need a good deep fringe yagi cut for the frequency if you really want to
do it right, Paul.  You want to maximize signal from the station and exclude
from the sides and rear.  If you really want to have fun, set up a part 15
FM a few hudred feet from the yagi on the input frequency
and you have yourself a broadcast station.....The translater will repeat
your part 15 station. (no, I really didnt recommend this)....

Question


This commercial station in the midwest plains has 60KW at around 300 feet
 in the 95 to 96mhz range.
I want to know how it can, safely and reliably, feed a commercial translator
over 90 miles away with any sort of useable signal?

I know radio-locator.com is for "entertainment" purposes only, but R-L
doesnt even show the FRINGE signal of the originating station coming
anywhere remotely close to the translator's location.

I'm not schooled too well on translators and such, so forgive me if I've
asked a silly/stupid question!
