KNSJ off the air... again

Find a site that much easier to be at. Too much bad weather at Monument Peak east of San Diego. They do have a CP to build a new station on 89.1 closer to San Diego. There is also a CP for another new FM currently to Calvary Chapel of Hawaii at the same site as KNSJ is at now. Maybe there is more to the story? Their web site does not say they are off the air.
In my opinion, they have the same level of veracity as Putin's military machine in Ukraine saying they have never had a defeat, and after two years of their "military operation," they have only experienced 6,000 troop deaths.
 
Logical solution: send the specs to another antenna manufacturer for a quote.
Their solution: "work on the matter".

David, can you point to the doc about this latest STA request? I'm not finding it, except for their application to go silent from a year ago.

I'm pretty intelligent, but the FCC site is so difficult to navigate.
 
KNSJ definitely on-air. Shows "KNSJ" on RDS. Stronger signal than normal, so probably patched together "broken" antenna.

It is, or was, on the station's website.

"Background: Recently the licensee’s tower owner permitted a third party to install an
antenna above KNSJ’s antenna. On December 31, 2022 KNSJ’s antenna was damaged
by the falling of ice onto KNSJ’s antenna from this new antenna. ASD repaired the
broken elements. Subsequently, another storm mid/late-January imparted further ice

damage to the antenna to a point to where the directional antenna was inoperable"

Warning: Rod Serling could have done an episode of his famous TV series about this station...
