KFI transmitter off the air
 

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.

Carrier came up. No audio though. S meter is not where it was before the
dropout. They still have problems to solve.

They are back on the air but signal strength is not what it was before
this event.

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.

Tonight's event was kind of weird. All of a sudden the voice peaks
sounded kind of fuzzy and then the carrier dropped out altogether.

They went from 10 over S9 to S7.

Got any idea when the new transmitter will be fixed?

Any idea when 'Eduardo' will stop transmitting?

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

They are using the old Harris DX series, I believe. The new transmitter
had a catastrophic failure, and a new Nautel is apparently on rush order.

I thought they had an old Continental 317 (best damn AM transmitter ever).

Supposedly the "new" transmitter, which they used at Montecito Hts also, had
"internal combustion" and is not coming back. KFI is awaiting a new Nautel
instead.

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