Odd question but does anyone know if KLME - 88.1 Battle Mountain Nevada High school FM is still in operation?


There is no KLME in the FCC DB (just a KLME-LP which is in New Mexico)
and the only stations licensed to Battle Mountain, Nevada are translators.


Thanks for reply

A bit of ancient history - In 1974, KLME-FM, 88.1 went on air as the first high school owned and operated FM stereo
station in the state of Nevada from Battle Mountain High School - 10 watt studio and transmitter in High School.

From about 12 noon till 4 PM - reel tape easy listening was played

from about 4 - 9 PM students programed in 1 hour shifts
from about 9 - 12 - reel tape rock

Student DJ's went to San Francisco to take 3rd class FCC license test

Wonder what happened to all of those LP's and 45's not to mention reel tapes.
