According to Google Maps, the new site is in a residential area a mile 
or two from the old  site.

Subject: [IRCA] KARR 1460 Kirkland WA new CP

 From the Northwest Broadcasters site and the FCC, the FCC has granted a 
special temporary authority to Family Stations Inc, for the Seattle Market, 
KARR AM 1460 Kirkland. It will operate using a vertical wire of approx 20 
meters in height from a location of 47.38.39  122.09.25  at 1/4 night time 
power of 625 watts. This is due to the loss of their lease of the transmitter 
site.

I wonder how well they will be heard running 625 watts from a 65 foot wire?

I would think 1460 exhausted all locations in the area are far as diplexing, 
otherwise why go to the long wire? This looks permanent at least until they can 
find a site. This may stretch out for quite some time, as long as the FCC will 
renew the CP. I am going to give this a shot, but there are several other 
stations on 1460. Yakima is quite strong and then the one down in the valley in 
Oregon. KARR was not all that strong with 5 KW days.

Thanks Bruce,  Covington was the closest city I could find close to the 
coordinates. With 625w, they should cover that area ok. It will be interesting 
to see how you and other Puget sound DXers receive them. 625w from a 65 
vertical wire is not much. If it is in a residential area, I wonder what they 
are using for the support, a tree, a building?

The proposed temporary longwire site fort KARR 1460 is about 1/4 mile
southeast of the  boundries of Kirkland. One thing I know from having had
to file an STA myself years ago is the STA signal cant extend beyond
licensed contours. Tthis site is about 1 mile south of the original
licensed site.

Re: [IRCA] KARR 1460 Kirkland WA new CP

2015-03-07 Thread Dennis Gibson
The FCC has licensed a number of stations using short manufactured fiberglass 
antennas. One company has 35, 75 and 85 foot versions.

 These are Temp time antennas, but I wonder if the FCC would allow a permanent

 I would think 1460 exhausted all locations in the area are far as diplexing, 
 otherwise why go to the long wire? This looks permanent at least until they 
 can find a site. This may stretch out for quite some time, as long as the 
 FCC will renew the CP. I am going to give this a shot, but there are several 
 other stations on 1460. Yakima is quite strong and then the one down in the 
 valley in Oregon. KARR was not all that strong with 5 KW days.

 This was granted on February 10. It's happening more and more. Land 
 developers with dollar $igns in their eyes offer a property owner a ton of 
 money they'd be stupid to turn down. These 25% of licensed power STAs are 
 granted all the time in emergency situations beyond the control of the 
 licensee.

 The towers it was using had a small amount of top loading.  Including that 
 they were one quarter wavelength (.25). A 20 meter wire is .10 wavelength. 
 Finding a new site of its own would probably be impossible for a lot of 
 reasons. Diplexing is most likely the only solution. Diplexed stations can 
 get out well if an engineer with experience sets up the equipment.

I see from Bruce Portzer's post with the coordinates, that they aren't far from

 The proposed temporary longwire site fort KARR 1460 is about 1/4 mile
 southeast of the  boundries of Kirkland. One thing I know from having had
 to file an STA myself years ago is the STA signal cant extend beyond
 licensed contours. Tthis site is about 1 mile south of the original
 licensed site.
