I actually noticed KAAY back on Friday evening just before Midnight Central
Time with a program hosted by Roy Masters, then a short legal ID. Like Glenn,
I'm curious to know what their current power is -- I've seen conflicting
sources saying either 10 KW non-directional or 5 KW non-directional, based upon
the STAs that have been extended several times over the past few years. Friday
night, it sounded to me like the latter was the case. 73,Rick DauSouth

Subject: Re: [NRC-AM] KAAY 1090 is back; is KARN 920?
KAAY came back on sometime early yesterday afternoon and KARN was back on
sometime late afternoon/early evening yesterday, as reported by a DXer near
Little Rock. 1250 which had picked up KARN programming is not back to
simulcasting KIPR Power 92 Jamz.

** U S A. 1090, April 5 at 0614 UT, C&W music in the WSW/ENE null of IBOC
from KRLD 1080, where I have been getting KVOP Plainview TX in the Panhandle,
but should be talk format. 0627 UT, oh oh, it`s gospel, with ``This Is My
Father`s World``, and 0630 ID and plug for programming at KAAY.com --- so
Little Rock is back on the air after copper theft! Also making 3 Hz SAH; maybe
that`s with KVOP. The KAAY signal is not strong at all, and would dearly like
to know what power and antenna pattern they are on, probably by STA. Nominally
it`s tight toward Manitoba and Yucatán and not much signal over here anyway.
Ooops, the ``powerful`` KAAY.com site is for sale; it`s really
http://www.1090kaay.com
But there is nothing obvious about its death and resurrexion. Full programming
schedule
http://www.1090kaay.com/common/more.php?m=10&mode=schedule&r=2
displays ``airtime available`` 24/7! Another schedule link covers M-F only. I
think I saw the same many months ago.
Latest informal letter in the correspondence folder at FCC says:
``ON MARCH 13, 2015, THE LICENSEE DETERMINED THAT SOMEONE CUT THE TRANSMISSION
LINE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STEAL COPPER. THE LICENSEE PLANS TO REPLACE AND BURY
THE LINE UNDERGROUND. UNTIL THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED, THE STATION HAS SUSPENDED
OPERATIONS.``
Two years and five weeks *before* is the next one on file:
``Exhibit 3 Description: PARAMETERS OF OPERATION
RADIO LICENSE HOLDING CBC, LLC, RESUMED BROADCAST OPERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 73.1560(D) OF THE RULES. BEFORE GOING SILENT THIS STATION WAS OPERATING
PURSUANT TO SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY. SEE BESTA-20121105ANP GRANTED
12/10/2012. STATION KAAY RETURNED TO THE AIR WITH DIFFERENT TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS THAN THOSE PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED, THEREFORE, A NEW REQUEST FOR
SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY WAS FILED. SEE BSTA-20130208ABL GRANTED 2/15/2013.``
And that leads to this: ``Accordingly, the request for STA IS HEREBY GRANTED.
The December 10, 2012, STA is hereby modified to permit Station KAAY(AM) to
operate with an emergency nondirectional antenna and reduced power not to
exceed 5 kilowatts. It will be necessary to further reduce power or cease
operation if complaints of interference are received. This authority expires on
June 10, 2013`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
