[RFI] Splatter from AM Radio Station WNTS Indianapolis

[David Eckhardt]

Interesting when we lived in Albuquerque from 1980 to 1995.  Most of the RF
services for the city and much of central and northern New Mexico resided
on Scadia Peak at the eastern side of Albuquerque.  The FCC made an annual
trip up from Denver.  Two weeks before that trip, there was a scramble up
"The Crest" to clean things up.  A couple of months after the visit, things
went back to "normal".  Remember, New Mexico is known as Manna Land (don't
put off to tomorrow what you can put off to the day after tomorrow).
