Re: [IRCA] FCC Goes After California TIS

[AM-DXer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW)]

They should check out Denver. The Colorado DOT super station (40 watts
ERP) on 530 kHz lost it's landline control link during light rail
construction activities and has been off the air for several months. In
an agreement with the City & County of Denver, CDOT has been running
their endless loop ID for the 530 station on the Denver TIS station on
890 kHz at Coors Field. They didn't even update the recording. It is
giving the call letters for the 530 station on 890. The tape also
identifies the location of the transmitter as that of the 530 site which
is 10 miles from the 890 site. It's a real cluster. And even worse yet,
all they air is the ID loop. I have never heard it contain any real
content since they came up with this "temporary" arrangement. Also,
before this arrangement popped up the 890 station had been identifying
with the wrong call letters, according to FCC records, ever since it
went on the air several years ago. Ironically, one of the few remaining
FCC field offices with monitoring/DF capability is located in the Denver
suburb of Lakewood.
