[IRCA] KMPH 840 Modesto CA

["Dan Strassberg" <dan.strassberg@xxxxxxx>]

I may have read here, some weeks or months ago, that this station is on the
air. But if I did, I don't recall many postings on the subject. Well,
today's FCC actions indicate that an application to augment both the day and
night patterns has been filed. Usually that means that alignment of the DAs
and proofs of performance have been underway for some time and the grant of
a license to cover is not far off. As many of you know, KMPH, whose CP
originally used the call sign KPMP, is the replacement for KTRB 860, which
holds a CP to move to San Francisco with 50 kW DA-2 from dual sites (three
half-wave towers days; four short towers nights), and is now dark pending
completion of the move. Through some clever engineering, KMPH will operate
day and night from KTRB's former site using 5 kW-U DA-2 (four towers days;
five towers nights). The towers are the same ones that KTRB used to use. The
application specifies two augmentations to the day pattern (directed mainly
southeast) and four augmentations to the night pattern (directed mainly
west). Earlier proposals had specified two sites and, I believe, lower power
by day than by night.
