KHMB is, as their website says, a community station on 1710 near SFO. Neil Kazaross thinks itâs a FCC Part 15 station âon steroidsâ â theyâve gone WAY beyond the usual boring TIS fare and, who knows, may be running more than the regulation power? From Sans Souci one gets really good CA reception. Thatâs all I know â and even some of that is speculation. ;-)
