A field inspection of KGNT's transmitter site in April of last year found a couple of violations.
The area around the transmitter was freely accessible and had radiation levels that were too high. There were no posted signs warning of this.
Of more interest, the output of the station was more that 1 1/2 times their authorized power. Given how badly the signal gets out to the south I could understand if they were trying to get a little bit of an advantage over KUDE though I hope it wasn't deliberate.
