Yes, Stephen, You're talking about 1240 KPPC in Pasadena, CA, owned by the Pasadena Presbyterian Church, which ran 100 watts. Both 1230 KGFJ in Los Angeles and 1260 KGIL in San Fernando ran reduced power on Wednesday nights and Sundays when KPPC was on. I don't know what year this arrangement began, but I believe it ended in the 1970s. -- Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Airy" <pianoplayer88...@yahoo.com> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <irca@hard-core-dx.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2011 2:33 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] KKXA
Wasn't there a 1230 vs 1240 situation in the L.A. / I.E. area? From what I understand, there was a little 1240 in Pasadena that I think was only on the air Sundays and Wednesday evenings, running 100 watts. When it was on, 1230 in Los Angeles and 1240 in San Bernardino had to cut back to 100 watts as well. Anyone know more info about those? From: Donald K.

They could stay on uintil KSL sunset. Also I think KXL-750-Portland OR could broadcast only when WSB was off the air. Which wasn't that uncommon back in the 50s.......My favorite was the 2 Los Angeles stations on 1150, KRKD & KFSG who would alternate time. Of course, in Chicago 3 stations shared 1240 for a long time. Don K.
