KGEN 1370 Tulare, CA Logged In Alaska!

Tuesday, January 26 2021


I forgot to share this one when it happened almost 2 weeks ago. I started
hearing spanish begin to bubble up on 1370, so I fine tuned my 5" DeBock
FSL loop and hit record and boy, did I get lucky!

About 8 seconds into the recording, you hear a simple "La Ley" between
songs. I recognized that slogan and that voice.. it's KGEN 1370 Tulare, CA.
I have previously heard KGEN's 72 watt night power from Laramie, WY. I'd
also logged KGEN's simulcast sister station, KGEN 94.5 Hanford, CA a 6KW
Class A Equivalent in Wyoming

I asked KGEN Engineer Tom Driggers to confirm KGEN was operating with it's
licensed 72 Watts at night, and he confirmed that the remote control was
powering down KGEN's transmitter properly. My KGEN Reception occurred on
Tuesday January 12th at 745pm AK Time (1hr behind pacific).

Here's my KGEN audio:

Several minutes later, I had "La Caliente", KZSF San Jose. In the dj
chatter he even mentioned La Caliented, as I recall.. so there's no
mistaking the two. Here's my audio of KZSF:

KZSF 1370 shares a triplexed site with KSJX 1500, which I've logged here in
Alaska regularly. Also sharing that site is KLOK 1170 which I logged from
Wyoming. An engineer who worked on that site said it smells like waffles
with the Eggo factory sharing a parking lot
