Worst AM Signal In Phoenix

They show up very good on www.live.com Click on Bird's Eye view, then view looking west. Morning sun clearly shows eachs stick. Thin and tall. Guess I'll have to check them out next time I go south.

KSAZ rolls with 390 watts out of three sticks at night.

You are correct, sir...or Doc, in terms of the present. IIRC, when
KSAZ first added night authorization (they did begin as a daytimer)
it was with 320 watteroos.

The previous XMTR site for 580, when licensed to Tucson, was the
three sticks (still standing at last report) at 4701 N. Swan Rd. in the
Catalina Foothills. Just try and put up sticks in that hoity-toity area
today. But this was 1951...and you can sue her! (An indirect tip of
the Doc's fez there to the late Harvey "Hedley" Korman. )

Anyway, the Swan Road site ran with 5000/500 DA-N, for those of
you keeping score.

I finally drove by the KJLL towers when I was in Tucson recently... they're less than two minutes from the even hoity toitier Loews and the middle of Ventana Canyon. Too bad the site is (allegedly ) illegal.

What, are the six towers...uh...undocumented? Do they need
to be ICEd down? ;D

Actually, are you referring to them not being lit at night?

IIRC, then-KHYT 1330 got a variance from the FAA. Could it
be they are less than 200 feet tall?

At least the site is waaaaaay far away from Fullerton Airport.

Last I heard (and know that I have not independently verified this ), there was no access to the towers or the shack.
