The 640 KFI transmitter just dropped out. Just before it dropped out
started sounding a little funny.

It's only been on a few weeks now.

My cousin is an bcst engineer out there on the West coast. KFI had a
major transmitter failure
and is running on a backup xmiter with half power.


25 KW into an 8th wave antenna is more like 20% power.


They are using a backup trasnsmitter, not the aux tower.
