Re: [IRCA] KYOS 1480 Merced CA

I spoke with Rick quite a bit sometime in the late 1990's or early 2000's
(can't remember exactly when) about a DX test on their expanded band
station.  It didn't work out at the time, but I found him to be a very nice
guy and very friendly.

Have been out of town a lot lately so haven't listened much  recently 
(and didn't hear much when I did), but also noted a bit of New Zealand 
activitiy this morning when the cat woke me up early.   Only one with 
audio (weak but definitely NZ) was on 1035, peaking around 1150.909 
and 1503 were very close, with a few other carriers noted.

This is from my recent KYOS email verie. I sent the CE an email and mentioned 
we would be interested if he built the tower and did some testing.

Martin

You may also be interested in knowing that KYOS has been on the air since 1936. 
 Just after World War II, it moved to a transmitter site on Old Lake Rd.  At 
that time, copper was very scarce, so they made the copper ground radials for 
the 3 tower array out of copper covered steel.  Larry and I both have always 
thought that those ground radials were probably rusted through and long gone.  
We had a lot of trouble with our pattern.
 
About 2 years ago, we lost the property that we were located on and moved the 
station to a single tower.  Instead of 5,000 watts full time, we now operate at 
4,700 watts day power and 1,200 watts night power.  We have a construction 
permit to add an additional tower.  Hopefully, we will have that built soon.
