Filed for Resumption of Operations from the Pasadena site proposed in the previous engineering STA on November 19th.


But it is true? This board, featuring our good friend and roving reporter 🐸, has the distinct reputation of reporting such events in, and around, H-town.

Anyone been to Pasadena, and tuned to 1230kHz lately?

That filing slipped last me, though it happened about the time the fcc.today site was getting back up to speed after the government shutdown, so perhaps it didn’t get posted there.

I’m not hearing anything on 1230 at various checks in and around NW Harris County. I suspect they may have completed the slope wire STA at the Pasadena site and briefly had it on the air to keep the license alive. Not sure how much power the STA is running but they did request a minimum of 250 watts.

In its final months at the Ennis tower site the KCOH signal was very poor, and from various checks at different places in the metro area I would guess was running no more than 100 to 150 watts. No idea if that was due to a failing transmitter or a deteriorating antenna system. If it actually was a transmitter issue, and that same unit is now being used in Pasadena, the STA might be at very meager power output.

The owner might still need a program client. The displaced “KCOH” disappeared from new home KRCM 1380 several months ago, so that programmer might be gone for good.
 
I don't think I ever picked up 1230 am in Lavaca county, I picked up KWTX before I picked them up.
