Hi Les and Group,
“La Jefa”
is on tonight on their daytime power. 2,300 watts as opposed to their normal 3
watts nighttime authorized power.
I wanted to ask this question for a long time. :^)
I understand the reasons for different authorized power between day
and night, but a change from
Class D stations have no city of license coverage requirements with their
night time signal, and with Class D's... they simply, more or less, can't

Hi Paul,
Are these stations run by volunteers? I can't see them paying staff (night
shift) for this kind of operation, or they go into automated mode. But
then, why bother?
They are great for dxing though. :^)
Thanks,

Its called automaiton.. computers chugging out the hits. It is against
labor laws for a commercial station to take a volunteer unless it's a high

night here, just a mile or two from the transmitter even with specialized

I hope to get a couple July issues for the upcoming Reno convention. I don't
remember if it was CQ or QST, but a few years back one of the publications had
a great article regarding a ham who was on the air on 160 meters using an old
abandoned AM broadcast station tower. Good times.
As an aside, I could hear WJIB-740 Cambridge at night in a Woburn motel when we
were there last year. The level was not overwhelming but with their mighty 5
watts, it was tolerable to listen to. Three watts…now that might be a different

Someone on one of the two lists I subscribe to mentioned KPHX going dark but I
don't remember which one. Here's the reason. Two stations in Hawaii (a
