590 KSSK CE Dale Machado mentioned the other night that 990 KIKI, dark for
about two years, would be back on the air by 9 February. In the process,
several Honolulu stations using this and nearby towers will be off the air
between midnight and 4 AM HST (5 and 9 AM EST) during the week of 21
January, apparently begining Tuesday morning, to allow filter instalation
and adjustment on the shared antenna tower.
Reportedly, the following stations will be affected:
590 KSSK
830 KHVH
1460 KULA (sumulcast of KRTR FM-96)
1420 KCCN
1080 KWAI
1270 KNDI.
with:
760 KGU and 690 KQMQ also possibly off for short periods. Creating some
quite unigue listening conditions in the region.
KIKI, which has been off the air for a couple of years, was purchased by
KSSK's parent company and will be back on the air, with as yet unspecified
programming, by 9 February. It seems that KIKI went silent due to losing the
lease on the site of its transmitter and wire antenna, in sugar cane fields
west of HonoluluI The cane fields are being converted to suburbs. Land and
construction prices indicate relocating the new antenna to one of several
existing shared towers in Honolulu.

IRCA Mexican Log, 4th Edition
The IRCA is proud to announce the release of the 4th edition of its MEXICAN
LOG. The IRCA MEXICAN LOG log lists all AM stations in Mexico by frequency,
including call letters, state, city, day/night power, slogans, schedule in
UTC/GMT, formats, networks and notes. In addition, stations that have
changed frequency since 1990 are cross-referenced on the old frequency. The
call letter index gives call, frequency, city and state. The city index
(listed by state, then city) includes frequency, call and day/night power.
The log has been completely updated from the 1994 edition and carefully
cross-checked by IRCA members in Mexico and the US. This is an
indispensable reference for anyone who hears Mexican radio stations. Size
is 8 1/2" x 11" and three hole punched for easy binding (optional).
Prices: IRCA/NRC members - $6.50 (US/Canada/Mexico/seamail), $7.50 (rest of
the Americas airmail), $8.00 (Europe/Asia airmail), $8.50 (Australia/New
Zealand airmail). Non-members: add $2.00 to the above prices. Make checks
