Mainly just curious as to why the City of License change. Does this
place the station in a better market? Being
Mike,
I wonder if it is some trick, to beable to boost power? Just a guess,
but why change the city of license, unless they are looking for an
upgrade. Maybe they could not get over the 1 KW nights licensed to
Riverbank, but changing it gave them the 4.1 KW? They would love to have
50/50, if they
Thanks for the support Mike :-) . Right now I'm really feeling my age.
Too many aches pains lately.
As to Riverbank. They've always tried to include the Bay Area. I don't
know whether they still ID this way but after they first came on it was
KCBC San Francisco, Stockton, Modesto or
I'm just down the road from Don about 15 miles, and KCBC is pretty strong
here. Their IBOC plays some serious hell with adjacents. I lived in
Manteca for a few years, and regularly roamed anywhere in the Bay Area and
San Joaquin Valley. Bay Area stations do cover Manteca very well in the
They increased night power from 1KW to 4100W without changing the number of
antennas. Probably they wouldn't have been able to upgrade and still cover
their City of License the day they needed to at night, as the FCC requires
of a Class B so by changing their city of license, they have less to
Eh? Not sure I follow. Their signal handled their COL just fine. At night
in Manteca, they owned the air as well. When they went off at night (11pm),
KKOB was in very well, but not until KCBC went off. They were much stronger
in their COL.I think they learned something from KTRB and are

They changed their pattern slightly and maybe withferent pattern and power
they couldn't effectively cover their COL with an 80 percent or more

KCBC's move was actually a side effect of a move on the FM band. The

If CA goes into the sea, I am sure the Oregon Coast will follow. hi.
Anyway, I am more concerned with the increase in IBOC hash to wipe out
the weaker CA stations. CA has adopted the most IBOC on the West Coast

In my experience dxing from Northern California 1957-2010 I have found
summer sunset dx, especially in June to be almost useless. I think I
only have a handful of decent summertime sunset catches to show. I
remember barely pulling in Eugene on 1050 from Sacramento once or twice
but not much

Don, thanks for your musings on dxing in Galva. I lost my logs from
Cedar Falls and you helped me on 1060 Hibbing. The ones that have moved
freq are the hardest to track. George Sherman had a partial list that I
had stored with his logs. Thanks again! 73 de FTS.

to be a nice sunset frequency from Galva as the only daytimers I had

Hi all! AM 1500 is now ESPN. KFAN 1130 is now FOX Sports. I am not sure
if KSTP will still carry Coast to Coast but my guess is no. I will find
out later tonight. The only time KSTP is local is noon to maybe 8ish.

Don, I do recall summer nights dxing SSS and hearing the north and NW
stations very well. Of course I was more interested in FM trops being
enhanced after sunset. Wish I still had those Fm logs too...oh well.
Those are gone for good. 73 de FTS

Todd,
I picked the June 84 season because summer sunset dx is so putrid here.
You oughta see the sunset catches I made in the other 3 years, in Aug,
