Steve Cross argues that the asset value of KBEM is diminished by its
low-power status.  While that's true, I think he underestimates the
signal strength when he says that it can't be caught much beyond the
city limits.  That's not been my experience.  I typically catch the
Saturday morning bluegrass show all the way to Forest Lake.  The signal
seems to cover the metro area pretty well; otherwise MNDOT wouldn't have
used it for traffic info.  I wonder if Steve is mixing KBEM up with
KFAI, which IS hard to receive much outside the central cities.
