KAAM Files to Go Silent

How is KAAM and KAMM together in this? Did I miss a filing staying they were looking to move on to the same tower together?

Since KAMM is also looking for a new transmitter site there had been some speculation about 770 and 1540 forming two legs of a triplex with an existing AM. I had wondered if there were any engineering issues with a diplex if one station is a second harmonic of the other (1540=2x770)…although perhaps that makes filtering and rejection circuits simpler.

Just a wild guess, but I would think KTNO 620 is the diplex partner for KCBI 770.

Maybe so. 700 or 990 might make sense too.

990's site is far enough away from any economic development it might be safer for the future of AM's life.

620's is closer in and there is more development in the general area. Also, Salem will sell anything.

Is it even on the air? It's supposedly running 100 watts and covering a couple of streets in University Park.

I’ve heard it along Loop 12 in north Dallas. Poor signal, basically a glorified TIS/HAR operation.

990 was my second thought after 620. However the 700 facility is likely too close in frequency to 770 to be workable in a diplex; engineering headache and badly crunched bandwidth. The closest diplex frequency spacing I can think of is the 670/780 arrangement of WSCR and WBBM in Chicago.

1600/1680 in orlando share a tower site and im pretty sure at some when 1600 WAS directional, they shared a tower.
