KRKO RFI complaints

TVradioguru said:
I was driving North on I-5 last Friday and South again on Sunday from/to Boeing Field. When just passing the convention center downtown I tried to tune in KRKO but just heard noise. I made another attempt around Lynwood and heard KRKO, but the signal was not of very good quality again due to electrical noise over the audio.

Perhaps KRKO reduced power while they sort out interference issues, but it they're indeed operating at 35kW day then I'm for one am not impressed.

Didn't one of the engineer-types on this board a while back predict KRKO wouldn't play as anticipated?

Might end up being like the swap between AM 770 and AM 1210 about 15 years or so ago. Looked good on paper but when they built out 1210, not so good.

Radio locator shows them at 5KW, but they may not be updated.
