As in the previous post, there will be similar power reductions of all stations on Farnsworth Peak, on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 18 and 19th.
This is due to required tower inspections on the DTV Utah TV tower and antenna. The power reductions will be from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM, this time.
We believe the outage problem in southwest Utah, which was due to receive problems at Levan Peak, will not re-occur. The KSL receive antenna at Levan has been moved to a bit better location (the Levan site does not get a totally direct signal from Farnsworth Peak....never has, never will).
Also, a "heads-up" here........... The DTV Utah stations, kUTV(2), KTVX(4), KSL(5) KUED(7), KUEN(9), KBYU(11), KJZZ(14), and KUCW(30) will be off the air during late-night and early morning hours of the weekend of October 13-15, for work on the DTV antenna and combiner system.
Low-powered RF sweep work (checking all of the tuning of the system) requires the stations to be off the air.
Details will follow later.

I don't think so. The low-powered sweep signals are within the UHF band, and they have to receive them on an analyzer that could be overloaded by having the UHF TV signals running. I doubt FM will interfere...I don't think they are even powering down the UHF's on adjacent towers (KSTU and KUPX).
