KFNN 1510 Gone Silent?

[DrAkbar]

Per every source I can find, K224CJ (KDKB-HD2) 92.7 is on South Mountain, between the KTVK and KPAZ-TV towers.

You are correct. Nurse Jeff brought some days old menudo to the Media Hut and it screwed up what's under the fez.

You accidently missed one: KIKO AM also in A.J. It was doing Classic Country. Not sure now though.

also missed KPHX as well.

 

[DavinaR]

92~Nine is 3 watts from Shaw Butte. 92~Seven is 250 watts from Lookout Mtn. Maybe the owners of KPHX misread the power of their translator and think it's 300 watts?

You mean South mountain, Lookout mountain is in Golden Colorado.

 

[DavinaR]

(Totally not me wishing it was on Lookout Mountain.) I would get perfect reception every time! lol

lol yeah me too as I live in a Denver suburb as well.

KIKO dropped Classic Country for Talk, around the same time that KBSZ became Urban AC.

That would be KAZG. The only reason they hang on to 1440 is for overflow sports.

I just noticed KIKO is live streaming again now that it a talk station now.

I meant the mountain in North Phoenix lol. I live basically right next to it and I'm also nestled perfectly behind both North Mountain and Camelback mountain, so my reception of any TV or radio stations from behind there is absolutely shot unless I have a top of the line receiver.

I'm roughly just south of you (7th St. and Glendale Ave. being the major cross streets) and you're right! Once you pass North Mountain Park on 7th St., there is a great deal of terrain blocking of all of the FM transmitters on South Mountain.

Thank you Lamptimer, I thought I was losing my last brain cell, as I had heard a couple of wks ago on KIKO some good Twangy Music from the 70's

Looks like KQFN 1580 has returned to the air today as a simulcast of KMLE-HD3 "Mega 99.3". They appear to be running at full power.

Only if their "full power" is about equal to KAZG/1440's 52 watts at night. They are very weak, almost inaudible, in much of Mesa, and 99.3 doesn't come in here at all. The old 95.9 KQFN translator in Fountain Hills is still off the air.

It's gotta be closer to their licensed power of 245 watts. I can pick KQFN up here in North Phoenix halfway decent while KAZG hardly comes in at all.

Assignment paperwork for KFNN to KFNN LLC (a subsidiary of Heartland Signal) hit the FCC. K287BX is included. It set Heartland Signal back $420,000.

This is a very questionable buy given who owns the KFNN towers and the translator’s signal is in the wrong direction of the target audience.
