Re: [IRCA] KCNZ 1650 Cedar Falls IA Off Air

[Nigel Pimblett <ntp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

KXEL now also has a notice on their website (which wasn't there this 
morning when I looked), advising that they were knocked off the air 
during the same storm when they lost power to their transmitter site at 
Dysart .   The notice says it looks like Thursday before power is 
restored and they'll be back on the air.
In the meantime I finally got an ID from the Spanish language station 
that's been mixing with KXPA, and it turned out to be KEDA from San 
Antonio for a new one here.   Too bad conditions to the east aren't 
better.  No sign of WDCD since Sunday night.
