I noticed yesterday afternoon their transmitter went off and on again a
few times. Today as I write this they are breaking up every few minutes
it seems. Transmitter power seems to be going up and down when that
happens.

Could they be in the process of the temporary move to the Montecito
(Heights) location they need to make in preparation for the rebuild of
the
larger tower?

Why would that make the current transmitter cut on and off, Edweenie?

How do we know that they are not at the temporary site? They may be having
some issues there... I am not sure what they have installed as an aux,
either, The towers there are from the 30's, too.

Pretty sure the one that got knocked over was built in the late 1940s.

I don't know. I tried there phone numbers but I can't get through as it
is always busy. It appears the transmit power just took a permanent
drop. They are normally -60 to -65 dB and now its at -80. The audio
breakup seems to have stopped but now there is a continuous hiss in the
background.

Replying to my own post, I noticed they turned off their IBOC signal.

I have them at s9 +20 +27, lots of carrier shift. 1338 15october2007

Also they have podcasts of everything going back 6 months, with commercials stripped
out, a superior way to catch John and Ken. 4 hour show only 2 hours long.

John and Ken must be experienced in the blazing sun during L. A.
rush-hour traffic to be truly appreciated.

Certainly is relevant to rec.radio.shortwave(?)

640 kHz is... ah... well, you get the idea.

I have no idea what you mean.

The AM broadcast band in just below the lowest SW band and uses the same
type of modulation the international broadcaster use.

Higher the frequency, lower the wavelength: shortwave... nuffink to do
with "type of modulation".

I take it you have
a problem discussing AMBCB in this news group?

Ah, um, gee... it certainly is outside the parameters of a "shortwave"
group.

Dat's the name: rec.radio.SHORTWAVE.

But then, to be fair, a huge proportion of the pap that gets posted to
the group doesn't have any connection to radio, so mebbe we should
sing praises of whatever.

I sort of get the idea that 640 is "mediumwave".

That woud be 'shorter the wavelength', not lower the wavelength.

You'll get the hang of it.

Maybe to you but not to me.

Also they have podcasts of everything going back 6 months, with
commercials stripped out, a superior way to catch John and Ken. 4
hour show only 2 hours long.

I generally don't listen to past broadcasts unless I'm looking for
something in particular.

Wow! One of the boys here is paying attention.

I went fishing, an' I got A Bite.

dxAce, I'm surprised you took the worm.

My point is: 640 kHz is "mediumwave".

This is rec.radio.shortwave.

Open wide, and Y-A-W-N.
