I was getting 104.5fm from Indy instead lol

Isn't K-Love at 104.3?

 

[robmadden1]

Yes but the signal was so strong it was like a local lol So it was over powering 104.3 even when the station was on 104.5.

 

[gr8oldies]

Up in Dayton, Kiss 96-9 in Lexington was heard loud and clear on K-Love's Springfield translators.

 

[robmadden1]

I heard kiss 96.9 also in Cincy.

 

[RRontheX]

I do believe it has something to do with the atmosphere. WEKU was killing Class X for most of the day. Could pick up FBQ in Indy as well in western Butler County early today.

THAT is funny

I knew something was different I could hardly get classx in their driveway on Monday. There are about 4 different stations on 88.9 fm that share my radio experience when I go there on Mondays. Joy FM from Union City Ind. has been interrupting more often lately when I get to the Rt4/Rt 741 itersection.

 

[gr8oldies]

Today the K-Love translator on 96.7 that relays 96.9 was relaying wwnk 107.1. Details on DX board

 

[techie2]

Probably using their 107.1 translator to feed the 96.7 translator.

I forgot to check and see if WMLX out of Lima was coming through the Air1 translator on 98.7 in Riverside. I bet it's fed from another translator on 103.3 in the Enon area.

 

[gr8oldies]

I thought they had to feed from the originating station. More than likely if 98.7 in Riverside was feeding something else, it would have been WRZX out of Indy which obliterated the Enon translator this morning.

AFAIK - commercial band translators are only required to be fed from a terrestrial source, not exclusively the originating FM station. They can be fed from another translator, an ISDN line, and (I guess) even an online stream. (And, if you have an experimental license, you can feed an FM TX from an AM station, and originate on the TX after the AM station sunsets.)

 

[techie2]

Commercial band translators are not allowed to be fed by anything except an off-the-air signal. The only exception is for a "fill in" translator, meaning that the translator is on the same frequency as the main station. Since that arrangement makes it near impossible to receive the main station signal as input, a "fill in" translator can receive the parent station signal through "terrestrial means".

Satellite delivery is only allowed in the non-commercial band (below 92.1 MHz).

 

[jorr]

Non-Comm band translators OWNED and OPERATED by the non-comm licensee of the FX may be fed by any means. This can include aural intercity relay on a secondary basis, satallite, off-air, off-air via another FX, IP, etc.

However, comm band translators (>92 mhz) may be fed off-air by the main station signal OR another translator; see 47 CFR 74.1231(b). There is a provison in Part 74 that notes that translators may not become a "relay network" or chain to feed others, and must serve an audience; see 47CFR74.1231(c).
