KMAZ-LP silent

Mrtejano

Amazing 102.5 has been silent since at least 4 pm yesterday. At around 2 pm while I was at my very late lunch break I heard LA MEJOR (2017) battle against Amazinf, but when on my way home at around 4 Amazing was gone. On my morning drive it was still just silent air, and as I type I’m picking up only static.
 
The FCC should never have allowed multiple stations on the same frequency like they did with 102.5. What a mess.

If the stations run legal power and height, there is no problem. It's when one of the is overpowered or located too high or with a different transmitter location that there are issues.

The KMAZ webstream is still going at checks yesterday and this morning. Guessing this is an STL failure, which has happened before.

Yet the stations are at the proper physical separation distances. The clashes occur outside the primary service areas. We’re talking about a one watt station (KMAZ) clashing with a four watt station (KJFI). The two are about 16 miles apart.

On its website, KMAZ states that it is targeting “the midtown and downtown area inside the 610 loop.” They don’t expect to get very far, and it is likely that most of their listeners are via the webstream.

Before all the other local 102.5 signals popped up, you could hear KMAZ almost as far as Beltway 8 when driving on 290. But when tropo kicked up KMAZ would be buried underneath either KTCX or (what was then) KMKS, even very close to downtown.

KMAZ can go kind of far when it’s uninterrupted. I actually heard it once by 242 and I-45 when there was local tropos.
 
Today I’m also picking up K273DO, that leaves me picking up 3 signals in The Heights. All 3 of them have killed KMAZ.
 
Amazing sounds better today than these past days. Seems like they’re back full to what they where.

Still battling it a little with LA MEJOR (MVS) with AMAZING 102.5 KMAZ having the upper hand now.
 
They're back on the air properly. Had a problem with the studio to transmitter link. Xxx vollunteered his time and helped them back on.
