[BC] Tower Location Change For WLAN 1390

[Tom Dimeo]

I read in Northeast Radio Watch that WLAN 1390 Lancaster 
Pennsylvania is going to have to remove their directional 
tower site because Franklin and Marshall College who owns 
the land is not going to renew the lease.  Apparently WLAN 
will diplex with WLPA 1490, a single tower run 1100 watts 
during the day and 18 watts at night instead of 5000 watts 
during the day and 1000 watts at night.

Does this mean that at night, in the WLAN null, they had 
only the equivalent of 18 watts and now using a single 
tower they must limit their power to the amount of power 
radiated in that null with the directional array?

This is a sad situation.  During the sixties WLAN had some 
very good talent and sounded great.

Also wondering if diplexing a station on 1390 with one on 
1490 causes any specific technical difficulties since the 
frequencies are rather close.

Thanks,

Tom
