UK Student Station Increases Power
KENTUCKY...
Student-run radio station WRFL has expanded its signal, allowing the station at the University of Kentucky to be heard as far away as Dry Ridge and Shelbyville. Faculty adviser John F. Clark said the FM station increased its signal from 250 watts to 7,900 watts recently. It previously couldn't be heard much beyond the outskirts of Lexington. The commercial-free station was founded in 1988. Clark says a lawsuit over the Federal Communications Commission's method of awarding licenses wasn't resolved until 2007. The station had three years to raise $207,000 it needed for equipment upgrades and a new mast for the transmitter.
