Does anybody thought about this station having boosters in the Bay area? I check the FCC database, and the db covers City of San Francisco, but anybody knows that Mt. Diablo has a poor coverage in the bay area. Hardly anyone able to pick up 107.3 in the Bay area. Especally the TV channels 42 and 64.

That's only true in the immediate east bay cities where the view of Mt Diablo is obscured by hills.

When I lived in the Crocker Amazon/Southern Hills area of San Francisco 42 & 64 came in great with just the antenna that came with the TV. And so did 107.3. The 1420 signal is another story.

And, under FCC rules, you are allowed neither to have a AM booster nor a FM translator rebroadcasting an AM.<P ID="signature">______________

Don't they still have some experimental AM boosters? There used to be one in Las Vegas and another in Eugene, OR. I don't know if they're still on the air or not. I'm sure there were/are more.

Synchrounous boosters are on the same channel, and the frequency is GPS coordinated.
KLSQ used to have one, but no more. KOB in Albuquerque has one in Santa Fe in the night null. Several stations in Puerto Rico use them, also. There are complications, especially where the signals overlap, but the technology is solid and not experimental. They have been used in Europe for 5 decades, in fact.
The only restriction is that they may not cause any more on channel interference than the fundamental to protected stations, and must not introduce new adjacent channel issues.
I think KSTN is pretty well hemmed in. There is a 1430 in Fresno and another in San Jose (Santa Clara COL), and a bunch of other stuff like 1410 in Marysville, etc. I do not think they could do much to increase the coverage at all.

Don't forget 1430 KJAY in Sacramento, talk about a pea shooter!

And 1410 in Carmel and the same frequency in Bakersfield (KERN in the 60's was widely heard in the east, by the way.)
