Re: [IRCA] Tornado radio in OKC
** OKLAHOMA. Further post-tornado monitoring of OKC stations: Around 1820 UT May 21: 1140 KRMP and 1520 KOKC are back on the air; missing earlier in the morning. Paul Walker said, ``Reportedly, there's debris stuck IN the towers or on the towers of KOKC 1520``. 640 KWPN is still off. 1000, KTOK, mentioned that all the Clear Channel stations were simulcasting. 930, WKY Spanish seems to be talking more and playing music less. Around 1820 UT the poor DJ is trying to pronounce numerous OK counties with tornado watches(?), really mangling Pushmatáha (in the southeast) Next check 2357 UT May 21: 640 KWPN is back on with Lucidol ad; so much for my WOI hopes, unless this too prove to be intermittent. But remains on whenever checked into May 22. Haven`t noticed any IBOC yet; probably too much to hope that recent troubles have eliminated it. 1140 1520 still on 1336 UT Wednesday May 22: 1520 KOKC is off again! Still cleaning out the towers? All the others seem nominal. This was posted by OKCRadioGuy on the OK board at radiodiscussions.com May 21 at 1618 UT: ``1520, 640, 1000, and 1140 are all OK tower-wise. All are on the air except for KWPN who has generator issues. The Big 1520 is chugging along sipping on diesel. Thank you, FEMA for that big-assed 80's generator and the huge tank next to it. It's come in really handy to keep Moore informed. Most all stations in the market, including 1520, were simulcasting TV audio. 1520 continues to primarily be repeating channel 9 (KWTV), with some cut-ins from their radio news guy. Yes, the towers are 1946 Blaw-Knox towers. They are huge, square, angle iron beasts from 1946, when people built stuff to last. It's softer steel, so that probably gives a little more, making them more likely to survive. Old man Griffin did things only one way: 100% right. Those towers are one of the last relics of that legacy at KOMA (KOKC). Ironically, David Griffin's multi-million dollar chopper flew over that area reporting also live via 1520. Some things still are the same. Griffin's still do things 100% right.`` Also from EJM May 21 on same board: http://radiodiscussions.com/smf/index.php?topic=234926.10 ``Both All Access http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/118588/radio-withstands-reports-on-oklahoma-city-tornado and Inside Radio http://www.insideradio.com/Article.asp?id=2655033spid=32060 have roundup stories of what various stations have been doing. The Inside Radio one is newer, and notes that Tyler's cluster may be using generator power`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ___ 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

Thoughts and prayers are with everybody in Moore OK. I watched the live feed on both KWTV 9 and KFOR 4 in Oklahoma City for hours. The 4 towers (assumed AM 640) were clearly visible and still standing very close to the path of the tornado.

Reportedly, there's debris stuck IN the towers or on the towers of KOKC 1520. Listening to KBLP 105.1 Lindsay, OK.. a 6000 Watt FM about 30 miles south of Moore, the morning host was about 40 minutes late to work this morning because of severe thunderstorms and rain that came through this morning.
