[BC] Commercial Station Feeding A Commercial Translator Question

[Bill Doerner]

Not to play "Can you top this",  but how about

KBNZ - Ogden, UT
40 39 35  112 12 05

Translated through

K266AB - Elko, NV

40 49 16   115 42 04

396.153 KM or 
184.021 Miles

Not bad for 26 KW (Even if it is at 3772 ft HAAT.)

That's a long path for serving a translator unless the translator site
has 
some really good elevation.

If you post or send me the coordinates of the two endpoints I can send
you 
a plot of the terrain and path clearance (if any), and expected signal 
strength at the receive location.

That will tell you about what your chances are to make that play.
