FO&A,

To Answer my own Question: "Could this be KSFH or some LPFM 'pirate' ?"

San Francisco 'pirate' FM Radio Station "Pirate Cat Radio" 87.9 MHz

WHY - Pirate Radio Is Currently Legal
Thanks to George Bush for declaring the "War Against Terrorism"
and U.S. Code of Federal Regulations title 47 section 73.3542,
it is now technically legal to operate a radio transmitter with
out a formal license.

RADIOMAN 390,

Currently here in OK-Land, Cali-4-Ni-A at 0200 PDT on 87.9 MHz
there seems to be Old Time Radio Programs: Sam Spade, and Dragnet.

Can hear it 'loud & clear' on the: CC Radio Plus, Sony ICF-2010,
Grundig Satellit 800 M, and Grundig S350.

Could this be KSFH or some LPFM 'pirate' ?

NOTE: I have not heard a Station ID and the Old Time Radio
Programs are giving the original ABC-CBS-NBC Radio Network IDs
and vintage radio commercials from that era.

On their website KSFH claims:
"KSFH is also the only station licensed in the United States to
broadcast on 87.9 FM. Screaming loud audio from our Mackie
Production system amplified through an Orban 8200 Audio Processor
blankets 750 square miles of Silicon Valley."
= This would be a 27+ Miles-to-a-Side Square.

FCC estimates a 2-3 Mile Signal Pattern for KSFH:

I'm in Mountain View, CA and trying to find station KSFH-FM, which is an
FCC-licensed Class "D" station. It is owner by a local school, and when I call
them they say they're on the air with programming. I am 1 mile from the campus
and can SEE the antenna. I tune to every channel from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz.
Nothing, except, of course, the other stations normally heard. I also try
holding my antenna sideway, vertical, every which way.
I call the FCC office in San Francisco and they say yes they're a legal
station, and they should reach at least 3 miles, so try again. Again nothing.
What is going on?
