Sorry Mike, I've been unable to ID the SS. No real ID's heard so far. I've got the recorder/timer set to record from -2 to +2 minutes on the hour overnight. Looking forward to some new ones. WOI, Ames IA is a long-time most wanted here.

73,

I sure would love to know who the unid SS is.  My Spanish is about as good as my Ukranian.

Sorry to hear that there were casualties associated with the downed tower. That's sad news.

 

Right now we're receiving a significantly lower-powered KFI evenly mixing with an unid SS.

Small Plane Crashes into Radio Tower, Killing Two; Station Knocked Off Air

LA MIRADA (AP) 12.19.04, 11:30a -- A small plane crashed Sunday morning into a radio station tower, killing two people aboard and temporarily knocking the station off the air, officials said.

The single-engine Cessna plane struck the KFI Radio tower about 9:49 a.m. and the tower tumbled to the ground, said Andrea Hawkins, a dispatch supervisor with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Television footage showed the 900-foot tall red-and-white tower in pieces on the ground surrounded by plane wreckage.

A man and woman were pronounced dead, Hawkins said. A small fire also was extinguished.

KFI was off the air for about an hour following the accident, said Leslie Lotto, an editor at the station.

A telephone call to the Federal Aviation Administration was not immediately returned
