Re: [IRCA] REW`s 1240 Alaskan



Interesting. 

If you click on the link at the bottom of Curt's post, and then click on the link that says online license data, you get another listing that says PERMIT CANCELLED.   Also, the FCCs AM query doesn't show any current listings for Seward on this freq.

Even more interesting, DX Listening Digest 3-115 June 28, 2003  http://www.worldofradio.com/dxld3115.txt  has a rather long story about the owner of KWVV facing  imminent license revocation and a $140,000 fine for operation of its translators.  Google lists several references to this story on the FCC website and other places.  However, Radionewsweb June 2005 http://www.radionewsweb.com/2005-06.html reports
the Commission has had to withdraw its revocation of a number of Peninsula Communications licences in Alaska following a change in the law that specifically prohibited Peninsula "from being '. . . fined or subject to any other penalty, forfeiture, or revocation for continuing to operate notwithstanding orders to the contrary."
In its ruling the FCC notes that Peninsula's licences for authorized full-power stations -- KWVV-FM, Homer and KPEN-FM, Soldotna- were being revoked because of it their operation in conjunction with seven unauthorized translators (See RNW June 20, 2003): It and adds that because of the change it is ordering the initial judicial decision to be vacated, the request to re-open the record filed by Peninsula is granted, and that the responses to the initial decision by Peninsula are now moot.

1240 was empty when I was in Seward last summer, so this station is a new development. 

Is this 1240 operation legit or is someone pushing the FCC's envelope, so to speak?  If we dig deeper, it may get even more interesting......
