...is it KAZG 14~forty, Lumberyard radio? Nurse Jeff and I were scratchin' our fezes trying to come up with any other Valley station that pulls the plug at local sunset. And speaking of pulling the plug, their signoffs at 5:15pm this month are just that - cut the carrier in the middle of whatever is running. YIKES! And does anyone ever recall hearing them using their blazing 52 watt night time authorization? This Gumpdusky station is like the last Gremlin sold at Mecham AMC in Glendale - a rare oddity

Unless you live between 15th and 35th Aves and Dobbins and Southern, you'd swear 1540 signed off, too.

The Nurse and I've DXed KASA at night in Litchfield Park. 19 watts aint much, but run 'em through three towers and they've got a little kick! Just don't ask us what we were doing in a cotton field late one night listening to 15~forty!

Same goes for KFNN 1510 unless you live in far-north Phoenix, Glendale, or north Scottsdale. Aren't they supposed to cover their city of license (Mesa, in this case) at all times?

Nope. These low power nighttime authorizations don't seem to have any bearing on covering the city of license. Nurse Jeff and I imagine if KFNN's xmttr was still in Mesa, they might have some nighttime coverage there. Check it out: http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KFNN&service=AM&status=L&hour

Class Ds don't have to. Although their 100 watts is a lot better, reaching into the Camelback Corridor at night.
