Re: [IRCA] KPIG
I like KPIG's programming of Alternate rock/country/whatever and it is more or less local programming. They relay the original FM from Freedom (Watsonville) but many bay area ads heard. At night if I want to listen for pleasure I usually listen to their stream as KGA cuts into their signal way too much to be able to enjoy KPIG. Don K.

It's using very low power - I could barely make it out from Palo Alto when I was there a few weeks ago - but it's there, and might be a catch for someone who's usually outside its tight night pattern. s ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] KPIG
Hi Don, Yes, I do have KPIG QSL'd from a couple years back. Infact I first QSL'd 1510 back in 1968 under KTIM. The GM and President mentioned he was in Seaside many times as a boy. I have them QSL'd under several other calls too, KCAF, KMZT, KTID, KAPX, KKHI, KJQI. They were stronger when they were 1 KW ND. KPIG does come in the afternoons at times, though. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside Oregon "Come visit us for the 2010 IRCA convention held Sept 24-26 at the Inn At Seaside." ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] KPIG
Thanks Pete, I didn't expect KPIG to get out much as their signal crosses over S.F. and heads out to the whales & herrings. KWUN-1480-Concord had to be one of the least heard & reported stations in the west. When I lived in Sacto I had to drive down I-80 to where I was directly north of Concord (about 15-20 miles) to begin hearing their signal. The further west I went the louder they became. KVRE (now KRRS) 1460 was as bad. I had to take the Black Point Cut-Off (State 37) from Vallejo to Novato before I could hear them. Of course KXOA on 1470 didn't help at all. Even in the 60s-70s they were a horrendous splatterer with their rock music. The Santa Clara station on 1430 puts most of its signal out to sea but has a tad going north toward S.F. Was next to impossible to hear from Sacto because of local KJAY + Fresno, Ogden et al. Easy from S.F. altho not ever a very strong signal & quite often gets lost behind all the others at night. Don p.s. I remember a few years back when Mike Hawkins & I were hearing the Palm Springs area stations nightly on 1250 & 1270 and 1140 & 920 at times as well. I think Mike also heard the 970 station but I didn't. I had heard KCHV-970 from Sacto in the 60s when they were all alone on 970 running an all night show. Always very weakly heard. dkk Pete Taylor wrote: Don, 1510 is nearly all KGA but at local sunset have picked up Ontario, CA and the one in Utah. I did get the old non-D 1kw KTIM once.
