Just because KYAK signed off at 11pm, doesnt make it a daytimer. Most daytimers who have flea power sign off at sunset. However, that being said, some stations dont stay on all night even if they could..... so KYAk signing off at 11pm is no indication that it was actually a daytimer.
KIAM 630 Nenana powers down from 10KW to 3.1KW, KNOM 780 Nome powers down from 25KW to 14KW, KINY 800 powers down from 10KW to 7.6KW, KTKN 930 Ketchikan powers down from 5KW to 1KW andKXLJ 1330 Juneau powers down from 10KW to 3KW Paul Walker www.onairdj.com www.facebook.com/onairdj On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 10:59 PM, Bruce Portzer <[email protected]> wrote: > Karl > > The only such daytimer I can think of was KYAK-630 Anchorage in the late > 60s.
