9.5kW ERP probably means a transmitter output power of ~1500W. Hell, I just looked it up, its 1610 watts at the transmitter output. You're not going to get squat off of that at your bearing and range. (Remember, that power is spread evenly over the WHOLE 6MHz channel slot, and the gain of the antenna only helps you if the main lobe is pointed towards you, which it isn't.) Don't worry though, the FCC is planning another re-shuffle and spectrum consolidation operation in the next few years.
