Re: [IRCA] KKXA-1520 Still In Analog
Patrick,
I think I'm less than 30 miles from KKXA's site, and it's not very strong at
nnight.
Maybe the tightest pattern I've ever seen at such a short distance.
But KGDD is massive here. Since I'm blind, thus I don't drive, I've never
been able to ascertain the extent of KKXA's usable signal at night.
Even in their pattern, I'd expect it to be negligible.
Years ago when I worked at daytime-only KACI in The Dalles, there's no way
they could have gotten an effective night signal with KMPS in Seattle's
massive signal also on 1300.
Even so, after I left the area, KACI did get night authorization for a few
watts.
(And look what happened to Seattle's 1300, now KKOL, a shadow of their
former facility.)
But the KACI/KMPS situation of the 80s is similar to 1520, except that KGDD
is probably three times louder than KMPS was on 1300 in The Dalles.

Rick,
You are hearing KGDD up there in the shadow of KKXA? They must have one
tight pattern. How close are you from the two tx sites?
