[BC] Commercial Station Feeding A Distant Translator Question

[Dana Puopolo]

I once had a CP for a class C station in Downs, KS on 94.1 Parked at the base
of the tower at the transmitter site, the cochannel in Kansas City would
always come in like a local in the car. We're talking more then full class C
spacing here.

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.)
