KFI transmitter problems
 

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?

I want to hear the scoop from a fellow who claims to have held some FCC licenses.

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.

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.

I understood they had a full 50 to install at the Montecito location, and
then were going to leapfrog the auxiliary transmitter there while Buena Park
is getting a new tower. They might be on a lower power, or they may just
have trouble still at Buena Park. They well might have been doing some moves
overnight (Sunday early AM is a low point for audience) and not been
finished... Sunday AM is also a low point for most talkers, so this may have
been planned.

I'll ask our CE to ask theirs tomorrow....

It has been off for two years since the big tower came down. The bandwidth
of the 0.125 wave tower and its power handling capacity forced them to run
sans HD and at 25 kw for the last two years.

It has not been on for two years since the tower was felled.

Mayhaps the tube finals are burning out and they haven't had a chance
to order new ones... tho' you'd think they'd have spares on hand...

The transmitter is sold state.

KFI is among the top billing stations in the market... they can buy whatever
they need.

Well crap, I thought you knew everything. Guess that blows that theory out of the
water.

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

KFI streams online, and that seems to be working fine. That's all that matters.

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.

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

I was referring to Amy's Place, not Buena Park.

John and Ken must be experienced in the blazing sun during L. A.

Higher the frequency, lower the wavelength: shortwave... nuffink to do

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.

Wow! One of the boys here is paying attention.

I went fishing, an' I got A Bite.

My point is: 640 kHz is "mediumwave".

This is rec.radio.shortwave.

I noticed yesterday afternoon their transmitter went off and on again a

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".

Only if you are smoking pot.

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".

Thanks for straightening me out on that.

Never did find out what happened. The KFI news department just emailed
me back with thanks for the heads up.

This was definitely a problem at Buena Park. The Montecito site is not
ready; the toploading of the tower to be used is not done, so it is some
time before they switch.

No, you did not indicate that at all. The fact is that the transmitter is
installed, the internal AC and other wiring is about ready, but the riggers
have not replaced the upper guy on one of the three Montecito towers with
uninsulated top-loading guys. Once that is done, the tower has to be
measured an the ATU built or modified. They may have to do some detuning to
the other two towers.

Still can't find that license, poseur?

You expect a "license" to be like a US license? What a moron, expecting the
rest of the world to be like the US. You are one of the ****-heads who think
the US style of government, US morals, US "culture" and such should be
imposed on other nations, and if they don't consent, invade them or embargo
them.

In Ecuador, a driver license was a "carnet" and had two documents in a
plastic folder... one was the renewable permit, and the other was the
license, consisting of a multiple page "folder" with the appropriate seals
and stamps on it. A radio station license was a legal document, on European
(not American) long-form paper, in an official folder (carpeta) with fiscal
revenue stamps. The Authorization was about 10 pages long. A ham license was
a shorter version of the same thing. Neither radio station nor ham licenses
had a "Suitable for framing" single piece of paper like US licenses in the
era.

All such documents referred to the permitee's Cédula de Identidad number...
the unique national ID card. Without an ID card, you could not even cash a
check... so there was no identity theft there, something the US has yet to
figure out.

Gee, all those other licences show up in the applicable Callbooks, poseur...

Prove it!

Prove it!

Prove that, just like your 'claims' of station ownership in Ecuador.

Prove that, just like your 'Eduardo' name, that you NEVER used in any context
other than that starting circa 2000.

Prove it!

The FCC disagrees with your claims, the State Department disagrees with your
claims... and as far as I know the State of California disagrees with your claims.
