The following translator stations are off-air currently.


88.7 K204DX (CSN Radio): https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=k2...=&party=&party_type=LICEN&latd=&lond=&lang=en
93.7 K229BJ (KJMA repeater): https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=k2...=&party=&party_type=LICEN&latd=&lond=&lang=en
100.7 K264CJ (KAHL AM repeater, the AM is also down): https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=k2...=&party=&party_type=LICEN&latd=&lond=&lang=en
103.7 K279AB (Another KAHL repeater, down also): https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=k2...=&party=&party_type=LICEN&latd=&lond=&lang=en
105.9 K290BO (Yet another KAHL repeater which is off): https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=k2...=&party=&party_type=LICEN&latd=&lond=&lang=en
106.3 K292FF (Another CSN Radio which is off as 88.7 is): https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=k2...=&party=&party_type=LICEN&latd=&lond=&lang=en

That's a lot of translator signals which usually are on and going fine, with the exception of 93.7 which is off a lot, unfortunately for them.

Anybody know anything? Somebody from the KAHL network posted here a few days ago that their network would return on July 1st, but didn't give a reason why they were off.
KAHL has been on all the time since it began on FM so they must be having bad technical problems.
The other translators I can't speak for.
 
Often with non-commercial networks like CSN, multiple translators in the same area are daisy-chained. You can feed a translator in the reserved band (below 92.1) with satellite audio and then use that translator to feed another translator in the non-reserved portion of the FM band. In the case of San Antonio, I suspect 106.3 is fed with 88.7 and is set up to turn off if the feed is not available.
 
That's exactly what happens with 106.3, 88.7 K204DX still hasn't been fixed so 106.3 is off too, except for when 88.7 KKER in Kerrville comes in clearer than usual at night.
Last night for example I heard 106.3 toggle on/off with KKER (KHCB repeater) more than once and it might happen tonight too.
 
CSN still off the air... This is the worst outage I've heard from them in the past several years.
