Re: RE: [IRCA] KYPA-1230 flat top antenna is gone

I'm checking with the engineer to make sure the install is done as opposed to KYPA being on from there but not everything is done yet. About 10 days ago he had been talking about KBLA being 10 KW ND for a month or more while he did the installation.

In more recent years, the station call sign was changed to KYPA. Shortly after 4 PM on May 24th, I turned on the new 1230 kHz transmitter. Its signal is diplexed into tower #6 at the KBLA 1580 kHz site.
