Hey T.K., that American River Bike Trail is a hell-zone for portable radios,
especially between Watt Avenue-n-Hazel Avenue! Those transmitters up on El Dorado Hills seem to spit down harmonic spurs which disrupt reception of U.C. Davis' KDVS on 90.3 mhz and Nevada City's KVMR on 89.5mhz! Even before KNCO moved co-channel on 94.1mhz, KPFA was usually static laden! Amazing too how Radio Canada or Radio Netherlands will get buzzed-out in certain zones, even with no nearby overhead wiring! Same-same trying to listen to KNBR 680khz or Ticket 1050! Heck, even Hot Talk 1140 has fade-out zones, incredulous as that may seem! Hopefully the public will put up a fuss and force the County to find funding for this natural resource(like from that uncashed $28 million Lotto ticket perhaps, or have da pols already spent that unexpected largess?)! Thought Dub Shrub's tax cuts were supposed to have stimulated our economy by now! Mayhap our Gropenfuehrer, with his love of all efforts physical, will bequeath a few sheckles from his extensive campaign fund-raisers! |

I know that even when I lived downtown that KDVS was hard to get. I think they have one of those "Class D" transmitters that only puts out a couple kw, just enough to cover the city of Davis. As for dead spots, they're all over in seemingly random places. Yeah, Shrub's tax cuts have stimulated the economy-if you're a corporate CEO paying yourself a billion dollars a year who can take advantage of them! ;) |
