We have a situation at KBBI-AM, Homer where they cannot receive 
KSRM-AM in Kenai/Soldotna 90 miles away because the noise floor has 
increased so much over the years that it is almost impossible to even 
hear the distant AM.  KBBI-AM operates KDLL-FM, Kenai as a LMA and 
the two stations are interconnected via fiber.  I take a back feed 
from the AM EAS monitor at KDDL and feed it down the fiber to the 
input of the KBBI-AM  Sage-Endec.  Sort of a ninety mile long extension cord!
