Bill as for the programming, I used to DJ out this way (West side of Houston) at parties, clubs, weddings, bars, and am familiar with the Texas music scene (country and otherwise) and I think people out this way would really like the music (or most of all of it) that you have playing on KYND BTW. But I don't think this area is your target market, LOL. But it's nice to be able to hear some good TMR music even with no antenna plugged in (see 25KW transmitter located IN the hood).

What really needs to happen, is the type of programming that is on KYND right now, needs to find it's way onto the local 1KW'er the mighty (a long time ago) 1090, and a lower power nighttime license for the 1090 station once the format is changed. We need a local AM out this way, wish I could buy that station...

Chris,the owner might sell it to you for cheap. He owes a lot of fees fines, and is in deep do-do with the FCC right now for running full power at night -- which he is still doing. See the FCC Violation Notice https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-336607A1.pdf The Chinese also apparently pulled their foreign language programming, which means his cash cow has run out of milk.
Edit: I just sent him an offer by text.
I'll see that offer of $100, and double it. Cold, hard cash. Today.
Are you sure 1090 has quit speaking Mandarin? It was just day before yesterday...
Oh do tell, KF5. Pictures are always nice. What kind of shady developments have you unearthed?

As you and everyone else here already knows, that is the drum I've been beating for a number of years. When JLF took hold of 1090, I just knew it's demise would look much like that of 940 up in Belton.
Sorry, Frank...I guess that faux pais is on me. I was just making a light hearted comment about KF5 & I partnering up our $700 and making a combined offer, nothing serious there. If we were really going to conduct actual business of any kind, it wouldn't be done here. You have my word.
I did not know that the FCC Field Offices were open on a Saturday. I, for one, would not want to try to call the Engineer in Charge on a weekend.
And, for "legal reason" I don't understand why an FCC staffer would discuss issues between them and a licensee with a third party.

So what will happen to 1520 in San Antonio and the other stations owned by the KULF owners? 1520 has been off the air for longer than a year now, unless it came on briefly without my checking it.

I mean KQQB-AM Stockdale. I think that station's [probably finished...
There is a 1510 daytimer in Corpus Christi with Spanish music, maybe you mean that one.

It couldn't have been that long ago, I think it was on my 50' endfed wire sloper at the house, which seems to way outperform my G5RV 102 foot (at my shop) for AM BCB reception, I was floored at how well I RX at the house on that cheezy antenna (just a 50' wire with 9:1 unun strung up to about 35 foot in a tree from the house). I am normally at the shop doing my RX'ing though. May just have to rig up a similar antenna here at my shop just for the AM DXing.
You are not the FCC. You are not the licensee. So you are a third party.
Maybe in Texas it is OK to practice law without a license.
