Just in case anyone is interested KHJQ 93.3 Pollack Pines "IS" on the air. Sounds Alternative to me but I could be wrong. I don't know how much power the station is using right now anyone out there got the details? How long before B93 is going to be downgraded? Come on all you radio engineers out there spill the beans! Whats the deal?

It sounds like a great station. Beasties and the B52's so far.
Who owns them? And do they have an airstaff?
edit: Ah Clear Channel. Of COURSE they wouldn't have an airstaff!

2.05 kw at 4405 feet above sea level. When the file for the upgrade after they file for a license to cover they will be on the KCCL 92.1 tower with 20.5 kw at 93.1. Of course KOSO will be neutered to a class A for Modesto. When I pulled a longley-rice map up for the 93.1 upgrade, the Pollock Pines station will put a 64 dbu signal over Stockton and a 70 dbu signal over most of Sacramento. The only area with difficulty will be Roseville-Rocklin-Lincoln. That area can be served with a booster since most of the area is within KHJQ's protected 57 dbu contour (FCC Map...Not Longley-Rice).
Interesting note....I'm not sure the call letters are permanent. KHJQ were the call letters for 92.3 in Susanville. The 92.3 facility was changed to 93.3 and renamed KJDX to make the country station change appear seamless. 92.3 and the hot AC format simply disappeared in Susanville.

I love radio stations that let the cuss words play. Balls, shit and the f-word.
"What It's Like" has GOBS of expletives. I guess they didn't play the "radio version".

I like what I hear so far and am interested in hearing what they will do with the station. Right now it brings back memories of creating startup stations back in the day... no imaging, loose ends, a sense of mystery and excitement. For the first time in a long while, it appears there could be something in Sac radio to get mildly excited about. I hope and pray the station doesn't get hacked to death by consultants with their research and corporations with their cookie cutter mentality.
Lol! I heard that, too. Perhaps the call letters should be K-WTF.

Um, am I hearing what everyone else is because when I tuned in I heard Alt Christian, and it is also on 99.1 a little stronger than the 93.3 signal. And it's an Air1 station.

I'm no longer hearing the CC station...sounds like this Air 1 positive alternative has bled over.

Air-1 has a translator near Madison and I-80 (Rosebud) on 93.3. KHJQ may have been testing off of an I-POD today and is off air.
Of course it's impossible for me to tell since I'm 400 miles away.
KHJQ, 93.3--Where did this station relocate from?
Thanks!
Thanks!
The answer is above. But susanville is the city.

I'm thinking you heard ONE of the LPFMs at 93.3 from Woodland, KYLO, engineered by Mike Martindale...
There's also this website touting the OTHER 93.3 LPFM, licensed to Nevada City, but I cannot hear the signal where I live,
thanks mostly to the Spanish 93.3 in San Francisco...
Note the paragraph about Clear Channel on this site:

Okay, I missed that part of the post. Thanks though....

Now you peaked my curiosity, so I had to look it up. How weird is that! The "move" was effectively 92.3 to 93.3 in Susanville and 93.3 from Susanville to Pollack Pines. I was wondering about that, because I was up in Quincy last summer and the 93.3 was still on the air from Susanville. So in effect this was a deletion of 92.3 in Susanville and the addition of 93.3 in PolPines, followed by a move to 93.1 with a KOSO downgrade. WOW!! I see now that the old 93.3 frequency in Susanville has applied for 100KW too. Obviously allowed by the move of Sacramento's 93.3 to 93.1. That is a good one.
The real loser here is Susanville - no reason in the world why they couldn't still have their 92.3.

Air1 Rebroadcasts KARA off of the Rosebud Tower K227AU at 19 watts on 93.3. KYLO-FM in Woodland is Catholic.
A lot of good that translator on 93.3 is going have with the addition of the new station at 93.1. Talk about a squeeze play!
RadioStarOne said:
93.3 will be displaced and EMF will have to find another frequency. This happens to translators all of the time as they are secondary to full powered stations and must protect even the ones that move into their area. EMF forced the KVMR Sacramento translator at 99.3 off of the air a while back when they signed on KLVS in Grass Valley
( which, after clearing some red tape will re-sign on at 99.5 above Folsom to serve "Citrus Heights")
They haven't figured out a solution to the 99.5 problem yet? What's the hold up?
RadioStarOne said:
They're working with two separate federal agencies (FCC and FAA). That in itself is probably a nightmare. From what I've heard, they're trying to relaunch off of their intended tower. They must be arranging for equipment replacement and or frequency changes at Mather.
Anyone else have any info?
Newsperson responds:
Hi Michael,
The major holdup is the public notice time required by the FAA for the change of the aircraft frequiences. Otherwise the equipment change is the easy part. At this time 99.5 at Citrus Heights is still a few months away. Wow what a nightmare for EMF!
KYCC from Stockton had a translator on 99.5 at Elk Grove that was also displaced. They are now on a new translator at the same tower on 102.9 Mhz.
Any news from the FCC when they will ever go around to processing the 5-year old pending FM translator applications? There are a couple of dozen FM translator applications (all MX'ed with others) pending around Sacramento so we may see some new translators sometime in the future.
Some of the frequencies applied for which all have compeiting applications are:
96.5, 98.9, 103.9 & 104.1 which are toast now because of the 103.9 move form Yuba City to Lincolon. There's 104.7, 106.9 & 107.1, 99.7 (which won't work now as discussed above) and other applications I can't remember. The companies are EMF, Radio Assist & Edgewater, Cal-State at Sacramento, Eastern Sierra Broadcasting, a few individuals including Mary Guthrie who propses to re-broadcast a Southern Californa station and perhaps Calvery is an applicant around Sacramento.
Can anyone else remember what frequiences and who else applied for FM translators around Sacramento?
I will look for your replies.
