We'll probably never know, but this whole thing has me wondering if Canada has given up our right to any future use of 1570 on the West Coast.

I don't see one on the FCC web site. There's one in Millwood, WA whose north-pointing pattern scared me until I learned that Millwood is near Spokane.

It will be interesting to see what fills this hole: Will KUAU be heard in the late evenings? Can one catch WMVX when it switches to day power? Or maybe some other low-powered station will be a surprise.

From another thread, I have to ask, have you ever heard recently anyone ID as "News/Talk 1570"?
