I knew something was very wrong last Saturday on the KSL Greenhouse. Larry sounded weak and somewhat disoriented. I met him once or twice in my work with USU and will miss his helpful hints. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

K283AO is being used to translate KLZX HD2 - Spanish language programming - onto an analog signal. It seems to be the means to an end to get yet another station on the air up here. Think of it as using HD to function as an STL.....

It'd be an easy way back into the SLC market......and being first adjacent to 91.5 doesn't hurt either!

Utah Public Radio is participating and will be airing a program on Access Utah at 9am that morning about earthquake awareness and safety.

The last Marconi (horizontal) or "long wire" rooftop transmitting antenna was retired a few years ago. It was at KGFJ, Los Angeles. It was also grandfathered so no new Marconi antennas will be licensed. One of the major drawbacks of a long wire is that the signal tends to be directionalized along the orientation of the antenna. Construction and maintenance costs were another big hurdle. IIRC, KSL's standby antenna (the self-supporting tower to the west) was originally one-half of a Marconi antenna (the other half being the original TV tower which failed in high winds after being moved up to Farnsworth Peak). Note that this "long wire" antenna was "aimed" toward Salt Lake City.

Sad day for rural radio.

Mr. Buzz on 1150 and Mr. Hum on 1170 and the ever-increasing AM noise floor. What have you heard is being noticed?

We asked the KUFR folks back in March. The silence on the other end of the phone line was deafening. Maybe we should ask again?!? Late Breaking Update.....it's supposed to be October 21st instead.

By the time the physics would have come into play, it was already gone. Without any third adjacent protection, it was at risk both politically and regulation-wise.

It was on the air for a year. The mayor loved it, the library ran it and the city council hated it. Guess who won in the end?

If only the ticker tapes could speak! Will EAS version 2 be any better?

We were able to get a usable signal on Little Farnsworth from our main Clarkston site.....just barely....and it was heavily filtered on the input side to pick up just 91.5 but it worked well enough that it raised the ire of a few who felt we were impinging on the signals of KKEX and KQMB even though we were well outside either station's protected contour. Rather than operate at licensed power and continue to field complaints of questionable validity, management first decided to try operating at the greatly reduced power of 3 watts. When the complaints didn't stop (and actually increased!), it was decided to "move it on down the road"; that it wasn't worth the trouble given the marginality of the signal quality.
Off hand, what is KNKL's licensed power and antenna location? They sure do clobber K204BO in Utah county north of Lindon.
