Have you got a new TV or bought a converter box, OR gotten Cable or Satellite? If not, you better hurry up.

I thought this would be a good Iowa specific thread.<br /> <br /> Any more info on the Pulse situation?<br /> <br /> Rumors of any fall or new year shake ups? http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/6713#post-66575 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:47:44 +0000 RadioDoc 66575@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Keep in mind that a 60dBu signal is "robust" and at one time was considered an FM's "primary" service area by the FCC. It's reasonable to assume that a car radio will stop on "seek" with a 60dBu signal. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/6713#post-66573 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:27:15 +0000 jh 66573@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ According to the map on the FCC site included in KMGO's application, the city grade (70dBu) signal won't make it to Des Moines, and just barely makes it to Indianola. I don't think this ever will be a factor in the Des Moines market, the signal just won't be strong enough. It certainly won't be a match for KJJY or KHKI. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/6713#post-66569 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:00:13 +0000 radiorobert 66569@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ I've said it before and I'll say it again...this thing just won't work. This is obviously an attempt to get into DSM and it isn't going to work unless it's something other than country. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/6713#post-66432 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 10:57:16 +0000 mike102 66432@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Will be in the early part of 09!
