Re: [IRCA] KICY-850

[Michael Hawkins <downsized99@xxxxxxxxx>]

According to  Rush Limbaugh site, KENI broadcasts him 0900-noon (presumably their local time).  They're generally easy from here, but I don't have to contend with KSTE in my back yard either.  KICY was much easier (once I figured it out) before KTRB started blasting away locally.

Here if you loop north on 850, you get the sandwich effect from KMPH and
KTRB. So the narrow setting with sync mode is pretty useful. Once 840 runs
Joey Reynolds after midnight, it gets better. KOA is pretty strong anyway
and mostly overcomes the hiss from KXNT's HD signal, when looping towards
Denver.

Haven't IDed 650 yet. Checked KENI's website but there's no schedule listed
so I'm just guessing. We must have had a pipeline to Alaska... KHHO is
often on the car radio when I drive into Sacramento in the mornings. KPAM
is frequently even with KTRB.
