Logs tagged with "LKSP" were made between hiking treks on the car receiver
at Lake Kissimmee State Park in east-central Florida.


530 FLORIDA AIRSPACE Radio Martí (193rd PANG); a definite no-show Saturday,
Nov. 20th.  Monitored from 2100-2215, nothing.  Mechanical issues this day?
Certainly not the weather.  (Krueger)

810 BAHAMAS ZNS3, Freeport, Grand Bahama; 1530+ 21 Nov., surprised how
strong this one was, alone and very good with Bahamian-accented preacher,
lots of refs to Bahamian church services.  Does anyone know the status of
the listed construction permit for a WEUS, Orlovista?  Is this active yet
and if so, what format?  (Krueger-LKSP)

1510 FLORIDA (TIS) City of Lakeland WPZW713; 1315+ 21 Nov., fair signal on
State Road 60 in the Mulberry area, with long M&W loop on Lakeland Linder
airport activity and the annual Sun-n-Fun Fly-In event, website, etc.
(Krueger)

1610 FLORIDA (TIS) City of Deltona; the UNID TIS noted here recently during
daylight under Melbourne Beach has been confirmed by Jack Nesmith to be City
of Deltona (Volusia Co.).  Programming is a relay of NOAA weather radio
Orlando (parallel 162.475 MHz) interrupted by periodic M&W local
announcements.  It's unreadable during the day, undetectable at night here.
(David Crawford, Titusville, FL)

1620 FLORIDA (LPR) "WKQ Riverside Community Radio," Tampa; per the
proprietor, November, 2004: "First station solar power.  Spanish music and
news.  WKQ [is] Part 15 LPAM on 1620 kHz service to Spanish community, radio
residents and the general public.  Weather as broadcasted by governments
radio station NOAA.  WKQ professional broadcast automation system.  The
transmitter equipment authorization by Federal Communication Commission Part
15 Low Power AM communication device transmitter.  WKQ operates by Ochoa
Communications."  Note: I first heard this one in May, 2004.  The proprietor
states he has no affiliation with any other non-compliant Part 15 stations
in Tampa, such as the similar format station that operated on 1640 and is
now silent.  (Krueger)

1640 FLORIDA (TIS) Florida's Turnpike DoT, Canoe Creek [at MP 229]; 1532+ 21
Nov., fair copy with M&W referencing "law enforcement," phone numbers and
"This is the Turnpike Highway Advisory radio..."  Presumed the location
heard, roughly 15 miles southeast of logging location.  (Krueger-LKSP)

6920 USA (PIRATE) Undrground Radio; 2204-2220 20 Nov.  Very good and AM mode
with the usual mind-bending blend of psych-scripts, Hindi raga tune, ID by
"Dr. Benway" and email to undergroundradio@xxxxxxxxx  (Krueger)

88.7 MHz FLORIDA (PIRATE) unidentified, Ft. Lauderdale; 21 Nov., non-stereo
FM, DJ'd mostly nights w/mixed bag of rap/R&B/reggae. Automated CD
changer...[DF'ed to a location just off of Powerline Road]. Antenna, a base
loaded whip with short radials, was barely 20' in the air. No sign of
operators. (Russ Scotka, Margate, FL)  NB: Russ uses an Icom R7000 with mag,
mount, 6 meter whip and Kay Elemetrics 100 dB pad.  I left out the exact
address of this and the 98.5 MHz pirate as is my standard practice, until
official action is documented by the FCC.  (Krueger)

91.5 MHz FLORIDA WMIE-FM, Cocoa; 1700+ 21 Nov., contemporary Christian
vocals, "You're listening to WMIE 91 point 5 FM."  Good, heading a little
east outside of the park, WJYO "The Joy FM" New Port Richey with similar
format dominated.  No trace of the Polk City vicinity Kreyol pirate, however
I doubt I was anywhere near enough to have a shot.  (Krueger-LKSP)

92.7 MHz FLORIDA (PIRATE) unidentified, Tampa; 1230+ 21 Nov., the usual
Kreyol operation with nonstop music, excellent in metro Tampa but slop from
licened 92.5 MHz.WYUU-FM, Safety Harbor.  Surprised Infinity haven't bitched
to the FCC after all these months.  (Krueger)

98.5 MHz FLORIDA (PIRATE) unidentified, Pompano Beach (Collier City area);
21 Nov., non-stereo FM with local flavor rap/thug DJ mixes, lots of mentions
of Broward and Pompano in sessions. Automated [when DF'ed, station located
in a warehouse area on NW 31st. Ave.].  Antennas a set of VHF dipoles on
small poles in roof mounts. Couldn't snag a parking space for fear of
blocking the car business so couldn't look for operators. (Russ Scotka,
Margate, FL)

103.9 MHz FLORIDA (PIRATE) unidentified, Hillsborough County; a new one,
1245+ 21 Nov.  Heard poorly on Adamo Drive (SR-60) just east of downtown
Tampa, peaking nearer to Brandon but lost near the SR-60/I-75 exchange.
Nonstop Kreyol vocals, some seemingly religious (on a Sunday morning), at
one point the CD, MP3 or whatever "skipped" for a minute or more.  Stereo,
but taking a huge beating from WXKB-FM, Cape Coral.  Possibly here only as
an open carrier on the late afternoon return.   (Krueger)
