Re: [IRCA] KAAY 1090 is back; is KARN 920?

[Rick Dau <drummer1965us@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I actually noticed KAAY back on Friday evening just before Midnight Central Time with a program hosted by Roy Masters, then a short legal ID.  Like Glenn, I'm curious to know what their current power is -- I've seen conflicting sources saying either 10 KW non-directional or 5 KW non-directional, based upon the STAs that have been extended several times over the past few years.  Friday night, it sounded to me like the latter was the case.    73,Rick DauSouth Omaha, Nebraska

KAAY came back on sometime early yesterday afternoon and KARN was back on sometime late afternoon/early evening yesterday, as reported by a DXer near Little Rock. 1250 which had picked up KARN programming is not back to simulcasting KIPR Power 92 Jamz.

      ** U S A. 1090, April 5 at 0614 UT, C&W music in the WSW/ENE null of IBOC from KRLD 1080, where I have been getting KVOP Plainview TX in the Panhandle, but should be talk format. 0627 UT, oh oh, it`s gospel, with ``This Is My Father`s World``, and 0630 ID and plug for programming at KAAY.com --- so Little Rock is back on the air after copper theft! Also making 3 Hz SAH; maybe that`s with KVOP. The KAAY signal is not strong at all, and would dearly like to know what power and antenna pattern they are on, probably by STA. Nominally it`s tight toward Manitoba and Yucatán and not much signal over here anyway.



Ooops, the ``powerful`` KAAY.com site is for sale; it`s really http://www.1090kaay.com 

But there is nothing obvious about its death and resurrexion. Full programming schedule

http://www.1090kaay.com/common/more.php?m=10&mode=schedule&r=2

displays ``airtime available`` 24/7! Another schedule link covers M-F only. I think I saw the same many months ago. 



Latest informal letter in the correspondence folder at FCC says:

``ON MARCH 13, 2015, THE LICENSEE DETERMINED THAT SOMEONE CUT THE TRANSMISSION LINE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STEAL COPPER. THE LICENSEE PLANS TO REPLACE AND BURY THE LINE UNDERGROUND. UNTIL THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED, THE STATION HAS SUSPENDED OPERATIONS.``



Two years and five weeks *before* is the next one on file:



``Exhibit 3 Description: PARAMETERS OF OPERATION

RADIO LICENSE HOLDING CBC, LLC, RESUMED BROADCAST OPERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 73.1560(D) OF THE RULES. BEFORE GOING SILENT THIS STATION WAS OPERATING PURSUANT TO SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY. SEE BESTA-20121105ANP GRANTED 12/10/2012. STATION KAAY RETURNED TO THE AIR WITH DIFFERENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS THAN THOSE PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED, THEREFORE, A NEW REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY WAS FILED. SEE BSTA-20130208ABL GRANTED 2/15/2013.``



And that leads to this: ``Accordingly, the request for STA IS HEREBY GRANTED. The December 10, 2012, STA is hereby modified to permit Station KAAY(AM) to operate with an emergency nondirectional antenna and reduced power not to exceed 5 kilowatts. It will be necessary to further reduce power or cease operation if complaints of interference are received. This authority expires on June 10, 2013`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
