Had to look at a map. I'm guessing Kingman is at least 200 miles from Phoenix. Did the Phoenix stations daisy-chain the signals through a translator network, or did they have to resort to a microwave feed?

Back in 1980, I'd say they had a really good translator line-up. If you go to Kingman today, there may still be some translator-special UHF antennas hanging out on a few roofs. Ideal if you need a high gain antenna to DX your local trunked public-safety freqs!

Also Kingman is much closer to Vegas than Phoenix (170 miles to South Mountain and about 75 miles to Black Mountain (Vegas's main tower farm))
 
Having lived briefly in Kingman in the early 80's, that lineup
sounds about right. Those translators were very, very hard
to receive cleanly, if at all. An 8 Bay Bowtie with an amp
would not clean up many of the stations. And there were
plenty of outages, particularly with the Phoenix stations.
Today, most of the translators that serve Mohave County,
including Kingman, are run and owned by The Mohave
County Board of Supervisors.
