I hope somehow this is all a ploy to get KIOO to pay a few bucks to have this translator for themselves. Is a true KYAF translator even possible in Fresno?

Is KYAF actually ON THE AIR in Firebaugh?? In order for KYAF to be on a translator the parent station MUST be on the air as licensed. There is some doubt that it is actually on the air. I'm never going out to Firebaugh to find out. lol Anyone else ever ge out that way? If so, please verify for us that KYAF actually has a signal on 94.7.

Isn't one of the rules that the station's minimum signal has to come close to the translator, I was at Herndon and 99 on the 4th of July and no signal on 94.7, also 104.3 LPFM KJOI Boila was off the air, but 100.5 Auberry was on the air.

Different rules depending on who owns the translator and what station it rebroadcasts, and whether commercial or non-commercial. Some have to be WITHIN the orig station's normal coverage. Others are allowed to be hundreds or thousand mile away from originating station. Someone else could surely be more specific on this than I. I will say that NO translators are allowed to ORIGINATE programming. I believe, but I may be mistaken, some translators are required to be fed with a signal from the orig station. Others are fed in various ways, even by satelite.
Different rules depending on who owns the translator and what station it rebroadcasts, and whether commercial or non-commercial.
Here's the rules in a nutshell:
* Noncommercial stations in the reserved band (88-92) can receive their signal by any means.
* Translators whose 60dbu contour is totally within the 60dbu contour of the primary are called fill-ins. Special rules apply:
They may receive their signal by any means
They may run power levels up to 250 watts as long as the translator contour doesn't exceed that of the main
* Non-fill-in's have to abide by the following:
Power levels are limited according to the table here:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/74.1235
A commercial translator may not be owned by the same entity as the primary station
A non-commercial translator may be owned by the same entity as the primary station.
If the translator is in the commercial band (92-108MHz) the signal must be received directly off-air.
In this case the translator would have to abide by the lower power rules. If KYAF remains designated as non-commercial then the translator could be owned by the owner of KYAF.

I see Cocola has 99.7 on the air with a dead carrier from the new Van Ness and Belmont location as of 9 AM July 27.
100.5 is still a dead carrier at noon thursday- maybe they are both - 99.7 and 100.5 translating KYAF LOL nobody has varified whether 94.7 is on or not. I still hear KIOO in Clovis.

I heard the 99.7 Dead Air lol, while going to Down Town Fresno this Afternoon 7/27, It covers up KIOO beginning on 168 at McKinley heading west on 180, the only time KIOO would briefly interrupt would be going under the on and off ramp to and from 41, other than that it was a clean no audio signal, KIOO keeps it out of Clovis and East Fresno, East of Chestnut, perhaps if I point a directional ant. right at it , it might come in, I did see an antenna on top of a building between Fulton and Van Ness just north of Belmont, but it didn't look like it was 72 Ft, more like 30-40 ft maybe they are temporarily using their old ant. and transmitter from old location, and Radio-Locator is now listing it as KYA Boss Radio.
100.5 is back on as of this afternoon.

99.7 KIOO was blasting away from my driveway last week. So that is a good thing.

Actually I'm not against this station I would like it to happen, we need something different and if this the bring back to KKDJ bring it on, any alt rock of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and I will point a directional antenna at it if I have to.

I'd be a lot more in favor of it on 98.5.

Yes I agree 98.5 would be better, but there that CP for KZLA 98.3 Riverdale, to be on the KJWL 105.5 tower with 25KW, I still wonder what's up with that? some issue with Huron getting a replacement FM for the move.

Was driving through Firebaugh Sunday night and the signal was pretty distorted. Yes, it was the Blues Show, but driving through there again tonight, didn't seem right. Do we really need a clone of 1980's Z-Rock. What I've heard doesn't take me back to KKDJ's originality or broad spectrum of rock.

Like always i'm still getting KIOO with my Cross Bar ant 25 ft high with a good signal and the local is still on the air with their test pattern this will be interesting two antennas the current one that gets everything and that one directional which I will have point to KYAF if it's worth a f see what they will have 99.7 A ,99.7 B my antenna switch.

KYAF 99.7 has gone from straight dead air to a high pitch tone sound, much like the Old EBS sound, wonder if their getting ready to go on.

In Clovis it's KIOO 99.7 with 85 percent signal on my Yamaha on the cross-bar radio shack FM ant and 99.7 is rockin better than the FOX as usual., I don't even here any tone in the background, and KOFP-lp 103.3 dominates over KZPO completely and they have less power than kyaf, KIOO keeps Kyaf-lp in the Tower District and maybe 4 miles from there.
I delivered to Tower today this is how I know this, that test tone was very strong there once on the freeway going east on 180 it was all KIOO east of Chestnut.

Like the Genesis song no reply at all #1981 why waist my time on this place, is dead like #fknfresnoradio i'm sticking to TFWG and social media much more interesting than this boring Fresno radio board, every city in the country plays better music, this place is soooo restrictive (derogatory remark edited)
