Wilks has been granted a construction permit (http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_list.pl?Facility_id=59597) with the FCC on June 8th for KIMN 100.3 FM to move/change their antenna on Mount Morrison. And increase their ERP from 97,000 to 98,600 watts.
From what I can see, this change will result in their signal coverage area being smaller (like 1-10 miles smaller, at the most) , even with the power increase.
After reading the complete application, it looks like the Mount Morrison site owner is constructing a replacement tower just northeast of their current tower location. The new antenna that KIMN will use, will be shared with KUVO 89.3 FM, KCFR 88.1 FM, and KXKL 105.1 FM. No word on if any of the other stations coverages will be affected.
