Re: [IRCA] KFI back to full power this afternoon

["Dennis Gibson" <wb6tnb@xxxxxxx>]

They did it at 5:10. I think it's possible that they had reduced power on 
their aux because it seemed weaker than usual all day. That wouldn't 
surprise me.

There was what I think was a fake sound clip of arcing for the first few 
seconds after the guy said he threw the switch. The signal didn't increase 
until about 10 seconds after the switch was thrown. After that there was hum 
with some crackling for a few seconds then the hum stopped. Indoors the 
signal strength appears to be the same as KNX, which means it's working 
because that's what it used to be.
